> Would you be ok with Stripe stopping payment to the GOP?

Has the GOP, specifically the GOP, advocated for the violent overthrow of the United States Government?

“Let’s have trial by combat!”

-Rudy Giuliani, 1/6/2021

This quote is deeply misleading. It's not completely clear but I think Rudy is talking about Biden, Trump and himself staking their reputations on the outcome of a fraud investigation.

The transcript and the speech is available here: https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/rudy-giuliani-speech-tr...

Over the next 10 days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent, and if we’re wrong, we will be made fools of. But if we’re right, a lot of them will go to jail. Let’s have trial by combat. I’m willing to stake my reputation, the President is willing to stake his reputation, on the fact that we’re going to find criminality there. Is Joe Biden willing to stake his reputation that there’s no crime there? No.

There is also a pause around the trial by combat comment that is not evident in the transcript so its probably worth listening to the speech to get the full context.

The RNC declared Trump to be the leader of their party after he told a crowd of armed terrorists that they should go to the Capitol and "save" the country from the politicians who were busy certifying the results of an election. They did so after that same crowd stormed the Capitol building, replaced the American flag with a Trump flag, and proudly declared to the cameras that they were there for a "revolution."

Kind of hard to know where the line is drawn between "declaring as your leader the man who advocates for a violent overthrow" and "advocating for a violent overthow."

Trump never advocated for violent overthrow of the government.
