This is like people who think judges are dumb and apply the law mechanically and strictly as written without any room for context or nuance.

The fact is there is a history of Trump supporters turning violent after Trump rallies and speeches. It’s an established pattern that requires willfully ignoring to contend he has plausible deniability.

It's no different than BLM members burning down cities. There's this sort of thing on both sides which don't represent the larger group.

Also, FWIW, I don't support anything remotely close to storming building, but people on the left certainly are quick to blame when I've watched exact same thing happen over the last year or two.

Tu quoque doesn’t change what Trump did.
