He said "March to the capital". He didn't instruct them to invade.
But he did -
Spend two months riling them with his grievance fantasies
Call all patriots to gather for a rally
Spend 70 minutes telling them their votes had been stolen and they needed to FIGHT!
Tell them to march to the capitol.
It's a very fine line, and the outcome very predictable, even if he didn't explicitly tell them to invade it.
- loopz 6y agoHe instructed them to cheer on the delegates, and not be too nice to Pence.
- Nursie 6y agoBut he also filled them with grievances and told them they had to fight. His words stop just short of directly ordering what happened, but you'd have to be an idiot not to see it coming. His tweets during the event also made it clear he was perfectly happy with what was going on.
- loopz 6y agoIt was an hour long talk with falsehoods and telling people to go to Congress and act with the people there. The demo plans were known in the community and his lawyers and family chimed in. Intent and collusion is clear. There were words used to supposedly disarm all the other vitriol, which is for a court to decide.
- Nursie 6y agoI think we're in "violent" agreement :)
