Rather than listen to your side's version of events and ignore the other side's version of events, it would be a good idea to read Donald Trump's speech to the crowd prior to the riot for yourselves.
Here it is: Donald Trump Speech "Save America" Rally Transcript January 6 - Rev
Read ALL of it. The whole thing.
Then ask yourself if it is an incitement to riot. Ask yourselves honestly.
Ask yourself if this kind of speech should be banned or against the law.
I have heard much worse rhetoric on the radio and on TV. Much worse. Much worse.
All Trump's speech is is a long list of old grievances and new lies and new fraud. At no point does he tell the crowd to behave in a violent manner.
In fact, he plainly says, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
Donald Trump's biggest failing on January 6 was in not immediately speaking out against the violence. He waited hours.
This is a guy who is obsessed with TV. He was watching live TV coverage of the event and couldn't be troubled to be pulled away to calm the crowd down.
If I were a member of Congress, I would support censure but not impeachment. This is a textbook rush to judgement.
Thank you, and God bless America.
