Just because he followed up with "peacefully" later doesn't negate him saying 'fight like hell'. I mean, most of the problematic things Trump has said have been followed/preceded by things intended to make them look less problematic.

I wasn't intentionally leaving anything out though, I took that quote directly from the Times.

The Times intentionally left that out. Notwithstanding earlier inflammatory language, this is the exact quote:

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard today.”

You may believe that the word “patriotically” was a dog-whistle, but none of the headlines characterized the statement correctly.
