How do you incite a riot that was already going to happen? -Pipe bombs were placed near the Capitol before President Trump’s speech. -The FBI knew about potential violence before the speech. -Capitol Police requested help from the National Guard days before the speech.

"How do you incite a riot that was already going to happen?" What a moronic question. Trump was the one who revved up his supporters for 2 months leading up to the riot. But if the riot was obviously going to happen, why was Trump still actively fueling it on the day?

Yeah I remember how trump didn't say the election would be rigged for a year before we voted & then definitely didn't say it was rigged constantly for two months after we voted & then certainly didn't have lawyers lose 60 lawsuits in a row about election rigging yeeeeeeeeeeeep

In 2016, Trump was already inciting acts of violence. He escalated his efforts at radicalization & incitement for years. His racketeering is intimately tied into his campaign of terrorist radicalization & incitement. 18 USC § 2331, 2383, 2384 & RICO apply. Aiding him is illegal.

👆🏻 The best part is he acknowledges that it was all coming, pre-planned and that help was requested and denied... but is too dumb (or hoping you are) to realize that incitement doesn't start the day of...

Incitement started before the election and every day until 1/6. If you need additional information feel free to watch the impeachment trial. Or does seeing what you enabled make you too uncomfortable?

I am late to this Tweet so I am not gonna point out how dumb it is, just post another reminder about the sexual assault scandal that you helped cover up despite being responsible for coaching these boys that were abused.

How interesting. So, you're saying the President knew all about the potential violence and went ahead with his rally anyway, almost as if he knew ahead of time that none of the violence would be aimed in his direction. This is a very good point you bring up, Jim.
