I didn't see the latest one, but the one before that was a video of Trump telling supports to go home, but then also continuing the allegations that the election was stolen. It initially appeared with a fact-checker disclaimer* that the allegations where wrong. I guess they weighted hims saying "go home" against the continued factually incorrect claims, which are now throwing fire on the flame, even if he's saying go home. * Disclaimer was: "This claim of election fraud is disputed, and this Tweet can't be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence"

The latest one was basically the same as that video, but in text. Something along the lines of "the election was stolen, but go home now."

  No, it was Trump saying "These things happen" to a mob of people breaking into the Capitol building of the United States. Edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for this. Here is a screenshot of the removed tweet: https://d.pr/i/Ex15UI/ABdSwruLJz https://d.pr/i/Ex15UI/ABdSwruLJz

    No, he's saying that people will storm capitol buildings when they think elections are stolen. Edit: If you're going to downvote me, I welcome an open conversation about why I might be wrong.

      Off topic, but I would welcome a feature on HN where people could at least (perhaps anonymously) provide feedback or a canned response or something when they downvote.

        Same; I value constructive criticism and don't mind people telling me I might be in the wrong. It's not the fact that I'm getting downvoted that perturbs me, it's that I might not realize what's wrong about my statement if someone doesn't speak up.

        downvote should not be an 'i disagree button' it is intended as a democratized moderation tool.
