He didn't incite an armed insurrection.
Do you repeat everything you hear on the news even if it is absurd? Saying it does not make it so. Do you eventually come to realize what you heard on the news is a lie, but then assume it was an honest mistake instead of propaganda?
How many lies are you going to repeat before you conclude the source of your info are liars?
...[text shortened]... unwittingly screwing yourself over in the long term for a short term goal.
They are playing you!
He told us for weeks to ignore court rulings, set aside constitutional constraints, rise up against state-certified election results, and fight. Even if the insurrection did not occur, under federal law, that’s incitement of insurrection against the authority of the United States or its laws.
The media? Who cares? Here are inciteful quotes from the head horse:
“This Fake Election can no longer stand.."
"You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore.”
“Republican Party must finally learn to fight.... Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”
“If a Democrat Presidential Candidate had an Election Rigged & Stolen, the Democrat Senators would consider it an act of war, and fight to the death. Mitch & the Republicans do NOTHING, just want to let it pass. NO FIGHT!”
“They’re not taking this White House. We’re going to fight like hell.”
“Washington is being inundated with people who don’t want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats. Our Country has had enough, they won’t take it anymore!”
“When you catch somebody in a fraud, you’re allowed to go by very different rules."
Certainly he's inciting something with these quotes. If not insurrection, what is he saying? Our laws and institutions are broken down and we need to fight. Insurrection, by definition.
