Correct Trump was not there. I was referring to Trump’s actions in general not just that specific day.

Since you brought it up what did Trump do that day while this was going on?

Now we’re going to argue semantics? The point was to stop the vote certification as directed by Trump, smashing windows and assaulting officers, call it whatever you want. Luckily they went back in and finished the process. Last thing we need is a candidate running again who claimed the election was stolen and supported this action.

Trump still wandering around saying the election was stolen, we are truly in crazy land.

More proof Trump is crazy.

President Donald Trump dropped yet another absolutely bonkers statement about the 2020 results in Arizona, demanding an election redo or that he be declared the winner.

What actions are you referring to?

He told folks to go home.

Obviously, because they weren’t going to be able to use it with so many Capitol police there…and let’s not forget they left peacefully.

Well, if it was compared to the leftist "summer of Love", burning buildings, trying to quickrete police in their own build and burn it down, making several autonomous zone.....etc

So, yea, they probably would think is was a peaceful protest considering the above. Anyone that thinks the above is considered mostly peaceful, would by far be considered in a cult than over what happened JAN 6th.

Tribal politics.

And the riots of 2020 can be wrong and the January 6th riots can be wrong at the same time.

They can co-exist.

Both were wrong and both happened.

Yea, that'll work amazing when you are going against those that are armed.

Common sense, it's your freind.

Proof to it being called an insurrection and the folks that were arrested are being charged for insurrection?

Proof that it was “directed by Trump”?
