Does these people also have a YouTube podcast that was taken offline? Or are you trying to point a finger at an unrelated issue and saying, "That is also bad!!"
What you are doing is called whataboutism. We need to evaluate situations with their context.
Constantly pulling in new examples and "they did X which excuses Y" is a child's game. It's the rhetorical equivalent to "they started it!".
For example, I might say, "the BLM was responding to threats of violence from the cops" to which you might respond, "the cops were responding to threats of violence from suspected criminals". We could continue this chain forever, coming up with some other example and historical precedent. It's not productive.
We're here, now in this thread discussing this one event.
> Can you quote a specific person saying "go to the capital and break the law and commit violence"?
I assume you mean on Bannons show? Because there are tons of examples of what you've described in other contexts.
