How exactly did Trump incite violence? He condemned the insurgents. He said today that killing cops should result in the death penalty. How exactly is he inciting violence?
He called for the violence. He celebrated the violence. To the people who perpetrated the violence, he told them 'I love you.'
He is the cause of the violence, and continues to call for more violence.
He uses the word "fight" 23 times during the 1 1/4 hour rambling speech. This is what he says towards the end:
“Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like Hell and if you don’t fight like Hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore....
So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’r
there's been chatter in right wing forums for months now about violent uprisings. Trump knows this, his Secret Service and intelligence details would have told him. Instead of conceding the election he lost he continued to make thinly veiled threats.
Again, context matters, and from that context we can easily infer Trump & the GOP meant for there to be violence. The GOP is hoping to use the violence to oust Trump from control of the party. Trump was hoping to keep his base engaged and donating money
It is happening here. Biden is the main author of Patriot 1 (they reused a lot of a bill from 1994) and he is now calling the demonstrators terrorists. You'll have patriot 2 soon. With your enthusiastic support.
Biden is calling them terrorists because that's what they are. They used violence and threats of violence to accomplish a political goal including (but by no means a complete list):
- Breaking into a Federal building where the Vice President and full Congress were meeting - Chanting "Hang Mike Pence" - Constructing a noose and gallows - Multiple people had bunches of zip cuffs of the sort used by police when they have to arrest multiple people - Planted bombs - Brought guns and weapons into the Federal building
If a group of Muslims from the Middle East did this while chanting "Jihad", we'd be (rightfully) calling it a terrorist attack. Just because the perpetrators were white Americans doesn't mean it's not terrorism. It just makes it domestic terrorism.

What if they were burning buildings and looting stores while chanting "Black Lives Matter"?
