Among some in Arizona GOP, siege of the US Capitol was everyone's fault except Trump

To hear some Republican politicians in Arizona describe it, the mob that stormed and vandalized the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was more or less Hillary Clinton's fault.
Or the left's. Or it wasn't as bad as it looked.
While none explicitly condoned violence, they also rejected suggestions President Trump — or they themselves — might have had something to do with it.
"Americans are upset," U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, wrote simply on the right-wing social networking website Parler, where he posted a photo of people scaling the walls of the Capitol.
