This spin leaves me incredulous. How does Trump inviting a protest equate to "inciting treason and sedition"? Y'all are bonkers.

He specifically ordered Pence to throw out the Electoral College result. Pence refused on constitutional grounds. How is that not an attempt at sedition?

Never thought I'd have anything nice to say about Pence but pushing back was the right thing to do here. H/T to him

To say nothing to his tacit approval of a mob storming the capitol on EC certification day...

The reality is that we just don't know what happened. We cannot know what happened. Perhaps some nations and companies are just too big and too powerful to exist and people are now starting to realize that.

We know that Trump asked Pence to disregard EC results. I don't understand how that could possibly be under dispute in good faith

Further, peoples' social media accounts show that a mob stormed the capitol with minimal police resistance.

It is very clear what happened here.
