And in which case did the party leader stand up and incite the mob before they went on their war path?

If we’re going to compare January 6 to the George Floyd riots, one was explicitly political, and the other one was fed up populace.

One was essentially organized by the Republican Party leader, and the other was an impromptu display of discontent.
