This is an outrageous standard to hold over a person. So if any whackjob reads a politician's statement and subsequently commits a crime the politician should be held responsible by the media and removed from office. I've reviewed a transcript of Trump's 6th January speech and there is no incitement to commit crimes in it. I am not intimately familiar with Trump's tweeting history but my guess is there is no incitement to commit crimes in that body of text either.

I posted some of his recent Twitter activity in response to another comment.
I'll allow you to make up your own mind as to whether a reasonable person could determine there was a proximate cause between his tweeting and the violent acts on 6 January.
