Honest question -- did Trump
ever encourage his supporters to take any violent action on June 6?
As far as I can remember, he never said anything explicitly of that sort. He did encourage his supporters to surround the capital and even Capitol Hill. I also seem to recall him asking his supporters to respect the law enforcement officers because they are a law and order party. He did not condemn the protest/riot violence until it was rather late. He has repeatedly said that the election was stolen from him and his supporters.
Naturally, the media, tech giants, Democrats, and everyone hating Trump are doing their very best to paint Trump as the prime villain and instigator to incite violent and start an insurrection. They say Trump is condoning the violence.
