Of course Bernie wouldn't call on his supporters to storm the capital. But then again neither did Trump. That didn't stop some of them from doing it however.

Trump had years of fomenting and approving of violence. Offering to pay legal fees for anyone who attacked his detractors. "Stand back and stand by", etc.

He might as well said "it sure would be a shame if someone was to storm that nice capitol building there"

He told them march to the capitol to make their voices heard, while Rudy demanded trial by combat and other speakers whipped the crowd up into a rabid rage.

But... contrary to what OP states, Trump didn't say that.

"He might as well have" is not accurate either.
