This is a great article detailing what was said, including why it is only _mostly_ true that he called for peace.

> However, it does not necessarily mean the president did not incite violence with the rest of his speech or in his rhetoric prior to January 6.

The same people saying he incited violence are the people who back Maxine Waters who's comments led to violence against police.

So it's hard to look seriously at those "he incited violence" given his YEARS of similar public gatherings and never having incited violence previously.

Key is that he never called for violence, he called for peaceful protests and he condemned the violence.

I mean... it doesn't get any simpler than that.
