It will be interesting to see how this plays out for both Trump & the rioters.
 
why di you ignore that he said to go home or be peaceful?
 
which was?

“You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong…We’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, … and we’re going to the Capitol, … "
 
That would be an interesting focus which would have to ignore Giuliani's "trial by combat" comment at the rally before the protestors went to the US Capitol.

I've seen statements from two different US Attorneys saying something along the lines of...'if we find that you travelled from our jurisdiction to Washington D.C. to participate in those riots, you will be held accountable'

Sweet!

and people thought think that was inciting violence

so the millions of people who advoated for marching for blm are repsonsile for the riots?
 
why di you ignore that he said to go home or be peaceful?

Why do you keep making excuses for him?

Why is Trump, why are Trump allies in Congress, why are Trump allies in the media, and why are Trump supporters incapable of taking any responsibility for what happened yesterday?

It's pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. And now Trump cultists are trying to pin all this on Antifa.

On the day Congress was counting and confirming the electoral college votes, Trump encouraged his supporters to march on Capitol Hill, and Trump's enablers like Rudy, encouraged violence. Rudy even used the words "Trial by combat."

Stop making excuses for them. Trump and his allies do not deserve your excuses.

So when Maxine Waters told people to get in the faces of Trump supporters and member of the Trump administration,, to harass and let them know they are not welcome in your town, that is inciting riots. I'm sure you don't want to agree but then that's always the lefts hypocrisy.
What about all the burning, looting, assaulting of police and citizens by BLM and ANTIFA groups this past year when police were told to not engage the protesters/rioters. When the prosecutors of those cities said they would not arrest or charge those people? Hypocrites. Please stop with your self righteous hyperbole.

what excuses, whats truly pathetic is trying to blame trump for the capital siege.
 
why di you ignore that he said to go home or be peaceful?

Because he's been encouraging this for months: one brief platitude after the fact doesn't cut it. he's been fuelling the fire, fanning the flames, then tosses a little glass of water on it? Nope. He is not sincere.

Because as always the democrats and their supporters are hypocrites who thrive off identity politics, who stoke racism and division, who don't love America and want to make "radical changes" to our country and many are destructive.

He is responsible for it. He asked them to march on Capitol Hill. His enablers like Rudy even used the words "trial by combat." Trump encouraged this.

none of that happened, he has always been law and order

nope he never icitted that violence

They weren't specific, yes. But that doesn't mean they didn't encourage this.

What happened is the inevitable outcome of Trump's encouragement of deranged conspiracy theories. Trump told them to march on Capitol Hill. Trump allies like Rudy suggested "trial by combat."

This won't end today. One of the Trump lunatics is going to end up trying to kill Biden.

Trump supporters need to grow the hell up and accept the results of the election and stop being little whiny sniveling crybaby bitches about it.,
 
nope he never icitted that violence

Yes, he incited violence. What happened yesterday was the inevitable consequence of Trump's words, and it won't end. It will continue.
