Now the Washington Post Admits Trump Did Not Incite the Capitol Riot

Quote the part where WaPo absolves Trump.

They are not in a position to absolve anything. They are in a position to report actual facts.

And? Where did they state Trump wasn't responsible? Here's your chance to prove your right wing sources got something correct. Stop trying to weasel out.

They report, you decide. And if you had a lick of common sense, even you have to conclude what they (and others) reported was that this was not a spontaneous attack, which means it had absolutely nothing to do with Trump's speech given at the same time. It was planned as the FBI reported. In other words, the commies impeached a President for bogus reasons. They made the entire thing up, just like Republicans are going to do when we impeach creepy Joe after we get control of the House in 2022. But......I don't want to hear you sheep crying about it, because remember, it's the commies that created this new impeachment precedent.

It had everything to do with these clowns listening to Trump for two months talk about a stolen election. If Trump had simply conceded this wouldn't have happened.
It may not have happened. You don't know this. Are we going to guess together until you are triggered again and begin swearing?

Begin swearing? Oh, you're dainty ears.

The OP made a claim and the source material doesn't show that.
Not what your post said. Your post stated this:
If Trump had simply conceded this wouldn't have happened.

That is a 100% guess on your part. I believe our News Entertainment Media caused this vs. Trump. Opinions are allowed to vary. The optics were bad and therein lies the problem.
 
No your source is an article which quotes another article. Interpreting the original story with a spin the original story does not say that Trump did not incite the riot. It just talks about what some others planned to do at the protest which was commit violence. At the invitation of Trump who spoke about it for weeks. How were they going to stop the steal unless they breach the capitol.

By showing up in huge numbers to protest the count.

Well I am sure that the majority wanted to do that. Unfortunately as BLM has learned that when you have a protest. Then the undesirables will show up. When the president says stop the steal that would suggest he has your back.
"Suggest" being the key word. Convicting someone on insurrection or inciting a riot needs a lot more solid evidence than "suggests".
 
It had everything to do with these clowns listening to Trump for two months talk about a stolen election. If Trump had simply conceded this wouldn't have happened.

That's the conclusion from you constitutional hating leftists. From this point on, there is no more free speech, because it may lead to people getting pissed off, and you can't say anything that may piss people off because it may lead to violence.

Now the Washington Post Admits Trump Did Not Incite the Capitol Riot

BY MATT MARGOLIS JAN 20, 2021

Excerpt:

With the second bogus impeachment in the books, the Washington Post has finally seen fit to admit that President Trump did not incite the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 with his speech, acknowledging that it was, in fact, planned in advance.

The article, published Tuesday, the day before Biden’s inauguration, declares in its headline “Self-styled militia members planned on storming the U.S. Capitol days in advance of Jan. 6 attack, court documents say” and opens with the following paragraphs.

======

The obvious is finally admitted, Trump never incited the riot.

I knew that from the start since reading the transcript of the speech.
Hypocrisy is mind boggling. How many small businesses were burned down to the ground during that riot. Everyone should be arrested and we should be outraged but for some reason the outrage was minimal in comparison during the Summer BLM riots. Amazing. Absolutely Amazing to me.
That's because the riots, destruction and death are not the real outrage for many. They can and will excuse such things if the "cause" is righteous. Destroying property and assaulting people is acceptable in the name of protesting police brutality, but not in the name of protesting an apparently fraudulent election.
The police brutality that everyone agreed was bad and happens in Democrat controlled cities. So instead of voting out those people (Democrats) they riot and keep voting them in. Stupidity 101.

If you ever saw the show Friday Night Lights...it was very well displayed there. News Entertainment media blowing a simple statement out of proportion to create a race war.
 
That is a 100% guess on your part.

No, that's what they know. The left believes they can see into the future. They have some sort of leftist crystal ball that tells them what could have happened, what people really meant when they say something as innocuous as "Do me a favor." This is the second impeachment based on mind reading.
 
Where in the article does the WP state Trump did not incite them?
It doesn't. In fact, it states the number of terrorists who planned to storm the Capitol were between 30 and 40; but hundreds stormed. So clearly, most of those seditious insurrectionists did not plan it in advance.

And regarding the ones who did plan it in advance, the article doesn't deny they too were incited by Trump's prior comments. Such as the Proud Boys who Trump told to "stand by" because somebody has to do something about the left. Then he tells them the left are stealing the election from him. Then he tells them the left are taking the country away from them. Then they storm the Capitol in a failed attempt to prevent the theft they perceived based on his words.

So in a court of law that would NEVER hold water. All you have is the court of public opinion. I agree with you that the people should be held accountable. They are adults and if one person incited them (I do not believe that) then it is on them not him.

To me, our News Entertainment Media kept and keeps on dividing us and causing anger and it is especially heightened with COVID-19 and disruption of peoples lives. So frustration shows through. The Left via their burning and looting Summer and the Right via the Capitol uprising. The police were handcuffed in both instances and were not allowed to do their job. Anarchy ruled.

Terrible. Just terrible. Hopefully this is behind us but you're kidding yourself if you believe the anger on BOTH sides is no longer there. It very much is.

If you removed the spark you don't have a fire. The responsbile media never claimed the election was stolen which was the cause célèbre of the redneck revolt.

Going back to the OP. WaPo never "admitted" that Trump wasn't responsible.
 
Where in the article does the WP state Trump did not incite them?

It is in the article...
Paywall :(
I read the whole article. Nowhere in it does it state Trump did not incite them? All it does is indicate 30-40 of the terrorists who stormed the Capitol had already planned to do so. The article doesn't say they weren't already incited by earlier comments by Trump. Nor does it say they weren't also further inspired by Trump's rally at the Ellipse.

The sad thing, this is really all that is left of Trump. Did he or didn't he start an insurrection, that will be his lasting legacy of this embarrassing sub-human being.

And that is what happens when journalism's priority moves from telling the entire truth about what happened to crafting the story about what happened to fit a pre-determined narrative. One is CSPAN setting up a camera in Congress to capture and broadcast what the politicians are saying to each other while providing no commentary, while the other is a hate merchant lifting a few phrases out of a speech and claiming that they prove the speaker is guilty of some heinous crime even though other parts of the speech totally counter that claim.

Brainwashing is how they control people, and it's worked quite well for them in the past and present.

Neither you nor I are the experts on "responsible media". Maxine Watters incited violence when Trump won in 2016 and CNN stated on air that no one said protests have to be peaceful. You really need to get in the real world. The News Entertainment Media is dividing this country. If you cannot see that you're blind.

Did WAPO state that "Trump was 100% responsible"?

Terrible. Just terrible. Hopefully this is behind us but you're kidding yourself if you believe the anger on BOTH sides is no longer there. It very much is.
If it ever goes to court, of course it will hold up. Again, it's not just his incitement from that day. It's inciting rhetoric he had planted for months leading to that. Starting with telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by. But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left."

Sure, bud. Take your sad sack feelings and slither away.

The WaPo didn't say what the OP stated and you appear to have given up arguing that point because as per usual, you guys usually lose.
 
Anyone that heard his speech knows he said to peaceably go to the capitol.

Followed by an hour of lies and incitements. But it was a planned thing of course, as he helped gather the tender for the fire he started.

No chance. We'll see I guess. I am not an attorney.
