Another example of how pathetic the cult memnbers are.
Evidence cited that he encouraged or contributed to the riot
1. His speech on January 6
At a rally just before the attack, Trump told supporters to:
- “fight like hell” (widely quoted in investigations)
- march to the Capitol
Investigators say this language helped energize the crowd that later became violent. A bipartisan Senate report noted the riot followed directly after this speech.

Critics argue this was a
direct catalyst.
2. Repeated false claims about election fraud
The House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack found Trump:
- promoted claims the election was stolen
- continued doing so despite being told there was no evidence
The committee concluded:

The argument here is that
months of messaging motivated supporters to act.
3. Efforts to overturn the election
Evidence presented by the committee included:
- pressure on state officials
- pressure on Vice President Mike Pence to block certification
- a broader “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn results

This is used to argue January 6 wasn’t isolated—it was part of a
larger campaign.
4. Encouraging the crowd to go to the Capitol
According to hearings:
- Trump explicitly urged supporters to go to the Capitol
- some extremist groups moved toward the building shortly after
Committee members argued he
“encouraged a violent mob” to act.
5. His actions during the riot (inaction)
Evidence shows:
- Trump did not immediately call for the violence to stop
- he waited hours before telling rioters to go home
During that time:
- aides and allies reportedly urged him to intervene

Critics say this
allowed the situation to escalate.
6. Findings and criminal referral
After a long investigation (1,000+ interviews), the committee:
- accused Trump of inciting an insurrection
- referred him for possible criminal charges, including incitement

This is one of the strongest formal conclusions against him.
