"Stop the Steal" rally. Fight hard to stop the Steal or you won't have a country anymore. That's what was said at the rally. Now tell me what means an ordinary Joe Sixpack had to stop the proceedings in the Capitol? Just his body, his physical body and nothing else. Pence could have done it without the violence but Pence ultimately didn't get on board. That's why the mob wanted to hang him and I believe that if they had gotten to Mike Pence that Mother Mother Pence would be a widow today.What it takes to forcibly OVERTURN an election is much more than what Trump did. Trump Challenged the outcome. Unfortunately that day the rally resulted in a Capitol building riot, however, just because that riot happened, it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't a crime to challenge the outcome of an election.
It's not the first time an election has ever been challenged, and every single time... one side calls the outcome Legitimate....and the other says it's illegitimate for reason X.
So the real problem here is the democrats trying to link Trump's protest rally with the riot on the capitol. Unless they have real proof that Trump personally planned a break in and overthrow of the government that point is moot. This has already been investigated by the FBI .
