- First and foremost Trump's speech did not explicitly nor implicitly call for violence. It did, however, explicitly call for peace. The word fighting was used in reference to those who brought up objections to the certified "results", not in reference to physical violence.
- Second. It is confirmed by OAN and NY-times that the capitol was breached 20 minutes before the end of Trump's speech. Since it takes 30 to 40 minutes to walk from there to the capitol building, that means the capitol was breached 50 to 60 minutes before the first Trump supporters arrived as no supporter would leave before the end of the speech.
- And finally. The FBI confirmed that dozens of individuals who engaged in violence where already on the FBI's terrorist watch list:
Dozens of people on a terrorist watch list were in Washington for pro-Trump events Jan. 6, a day that ended in a chaotic crime rampage when a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, [...] The majority of the watch-listed individuals in Washington that day are suspected white supremacists whose past conduct so alarmed investigators that their names had been previously entered into the national Terrorist Screening Database, or TSDB, a massive set of names flagged as potential security risks.
the Washington Post
Since Trump condemned white supremacists publicly for at least two decades this confirms these weren't Trump supporters.
I noticed hereistheevidence added a section about the capitol protest. Check it out: https://hereistheevidence.com/capitol-protest-1-6-21/
I had heard that he ran long on purpose. Knowing that they were going to do what they did. They knew it was a set up. It’s the same M.O. that they’ve used in other cities to attack police protecting statues. I’m sure the secret service spent the day identifying antifa goons in the crowd and monitoring coms between them. I’d bet you can’t get in the DC area without someone knowing what you are saying and texting.
I don’t understand how people on here believe trump knew it was a setup but then deny any mention of him being president for 4 more years. That literally makes no sense at all.
