As his followers stormed the Capitol, calling for his vp to be hanged, President Donald Trump sat in his personal eating room, watching TV, doing nothing.
For 3 hours, seven minutes.
There was a lot debate over whether or not Trump’s rally speech on Jan. 6, 2021, constituted “incitement.” That’s considerably of a crimson herring. What issues extra — and has develop into crystal clear in latest days — is that Trump didn’t carry a finger to cease the violence that adopted.
And he was the one one who may cease what was occurring. He was the one one the group was listening to. It was incitement by silence.
Trump solely wished one factor throughout that notorious afternoon: to stress Vice President Mike Pence to decertify the election of Joe Biden.
He thought the violence of his loyal followers would make Pence crack, or delay the vote altogether.
To his everlasting disgrace, as appalled aides implored him to publicly name on his followers to go dwelling, he as a substitute additional fanned the flames by tweeting: “Mike Pence didn’t have the braveness to do what ought to have been performed to guard our Nation and our Structure.”
His solely focus was to search out any means — rattling the results — to dam the peaceable switch of energy.
There isn't a different clarification, simply as there isn't a protection, for his refusal to cease the violence.
It’s as much as the Justice Division to resolve if this can be a crime. However as a matter of precept, as a matter of character, Trump has confirmed himself unworthy to be this nation’s chief govt once more.
