No. President Trump didn't incite a riot.

And if you say he did, you're either a liar or an idiot.

It's that simple.
The gospel according to the mainstream media is that Trump, Cruz, and Hawley incited a riot.

When you ask for specific statements, the crazy people comeback with vague comments about "marching to the Capitol" and "fighting for America" ... everyday political phrases.
This thing is so much bigger than Trump.

It's about the 1st Amendment, penalizing Trump, Cruz and Hawley for "inciting" would make the 1st Amendment meaningless.
If Trump said something that incited a riot, the media would be playing that clip non-stop.

Claiming that Trump's rather generic political speech caused people to die is such a silly slander that it shouldn't be taken seriously.
