A sitting president ignoring election results and inciting a mob to literally attack the Federal government in an attempt to subvert the Constitution is a very pressing issue. It's hard to solve big problems with a government that ceases to abide by its own rules.

Can you point me to any evidence when he literally incited the mob to attack?

People say it was his Tweets but they were censored...

He ended his speech by telling them to go to the capital and be strong republicans and then after they forcefully invaded the capital building he made a video saying to be nice to the cops and he loves them.

So much value in splitting hairs.

I saw a 1 minute clip of him talking where he spent 50 seconds fueling the fire with "we won this landslide election and it was stolen from us there was no way we lost Georgia" and ten seconds of "but go home and be peaceful"

>when he literally incited the mob to attack?

I said "incited a mob to literally attack." He went up on stage, told them the presidency was being stolen, and urged them to march to the Capitol.

They then marched to the Capitol and literally attacked.

Encouraging protests isn’t inciting violence.

But thanks! Good to know all these accusations are just fake news. Just as I assumed. He did tell them to “go home” though... but most fake news media won’t report that.

Yep. Told them to go home hours after this insanity began and in the same breath continued to falsely claim the election had been stolen. Whatta guy.

In his minute-long video he spent about 1 second to tell people to go home. The rest was repeating conspiracies, and telling the people rioting that they're special. It's unbelievable.
