Actively encouraging your supporters to charge into Capitol during a congressional vote is what we English speakers call "incitement".

Could you provide a source for this? I am unaware of this reading.

Read the transcript. He actively exhorts his supporters to fight for the Constitution "today", exhorts Mike Pence to "do the right thing", telling them to fuck the media in general and in general inciting hatred against everything, with direct calls for encouraging them to "stop the steal" and put the pressure on Congress and Mike Pence - actively encouraging them to force Pence to use his power to call for a recertification.

Please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN (like this and the swipe in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25810704), regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. It only contributes to destroying this place further.

We've had to warn you about this more than once before. When accounts keep doing it, we ban them, so please stop.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.

Well, I did that too, and got the transcript instead of access denied : https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/11/full-transcript-don...

Could you point me to the relevant section about charging The Capitol? That is what you claimed.

Please provide proof of this statement. Do you have a video source?

Yeah, were such a statement to have been made -- but no statement like that was made. Not sure what you're referring to.

https://www.newsandguts.com/trump-if-you-dont-fight-like-hel... summarizes the basis for impeachment. If you only listen to FOX and Steve Bannon's warroom you will hear repeatedly that Trump only explicitly said to go and peacefully cheer on those who did not want the election to be stolen.

If you are a participant of hacker news I'd hope that you can perform a google search to find and validate this information rather than parrot the feigned ignorance of pundits.

Is this blatant enough to justify impeachment? I don't know. Apparently it is blatant enough to convince 10 republican congress people.

Here in NL I heard a Dutch/US citizen commenting on the election, on national radio: she was glad that Biden won, but still, 70 million people voted for Trump, and ... 'we have got to do something with these people'.

If a 'non progressive' would have said this on national radio, he/she would be accused of inciting a holocaust.

She was not asked to explain herself.
