Trump is being sued for inciting violence as well:

Inciting violence should be a clear line, and I'm glad the ACLU of California is making it clear that it is. As far as past cases go, this doesn't seem to be contradictory or different, but I don't know if it is.

Yeah, this probably wasn't the best call in retrospect. Something other ACLU chapters can correct. https://acluva.org/20108/aclu-of-virginia-response-to-governors-allegations-that-aclu-is-responsible-for-violence-in-charlottesville/ https://acluva.org/20108/aclu-of-virginia-response-to-govern... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/opinion/aclu-first-amendment-trump-charlottesville.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/opinion/aclu-first-amendm... https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/equality-justice-and-first-amendment https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/equality-justice-and-f...
