Monday Morning quarterbacking is easy, but I’ll say this —
President Trump made a fine speech in the Ellipse.
President Trump encouraged the crowd to march to the capitol, which also seems fine to me.
How different would things be if he had said, “We march to the Capitol. Everyone must stay outside and peacefully demonstrate. No one enter the Capitol, OK? If you see anyone entering, or causing trouble, that’s ANTIFA trying to make us look bad, right? Stay away from those people. Don’t follow them. Stay outside and show people what good citizens you are. Let’s go!”
That’s true - but as you say - Monday morning quarterbacking is easy.
And they were going to set up the Trump protesters regardless of how well behaved they had been. They could have been perfect and would still have gotten framed by the fake news and the Democrats.
I say, SHAME on the Republicans who
1) know perfectly well that Antifa runs false flag operations whenever there is a pro Trump protest.
2) know perfectly well this violence was NOTHING compared to the “peaceful protests“ of BLM. Where were the burning buildings? Where were the burning cars? Where was the looting?
3) purposely blew this out of proportion and used it as an excuse to rubber stamp a stolen election.
