Facts do matter. You can watch the video of Trump’s speech at the event. He specifically said:

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”. https://twitter.com/noltenc/status/1347149429015502850

Here’s the video. Quote at 1:05.

It’s been 4 years of this crap.

Trump behaves poorly in some way (e.g., the Pence stuff was ridiculous) and the Democrats and media mischaracterize it into something even worse.

You’d think he told them to storm the Capitol based on the reporting and floor speeches.

Some will reply that insisting the election was rigged *is* incitement.

If you want to go down that path:

“I know he wasn’t happy with the way things were going, the election results and stuff” - James Hodgkinson’s brother

Or this:

Which way do we want to play it?

I’m good with lowering the rhetoric - not insisting 10s of millions of Americans are racist, deplorable, Nazi KKK members who want to kill grandma because “the cruelty is the point” is a start.

I’m not good with rules for thee but not for me.

I’m also good with arresting and charging everyone who committed crimes yesterday, as I was all summer and every time we saw this over the past 4 years.

Unfortunately, a lot of people only yesterday reversed their positions on this type of behavior.
