Fact, made calls to use the riot to further his own cause. Thats right. While it was happening, he asked people, senators who were in hiding, to use the riot to derail the vote, not to stop it, to magnify it. That alone should damn him in all future historical accounts. Here is the tweet that he sent out during the riot to remind you that what im saying makes perfect sense. These are the things that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is stripped away. And then he said, go home with love. He incited it. He continued it, and he congratulated it. He wont be tweeting dangerous bile like that anymore.

Sure, he did when it was to attack black people all during the summer. But he refused to call the National Guard when the capitol was savaged in his name. That is the truth. It is also the truth that he in fact made calls to use the riot to further his own cause. Thats right.
