It’s true though, and I have no love for McCarthy. Trump did send out a very public plea for people to come to the capitol for Jan 6 protest.
That doesn’t mean he called for a riot. It just means what it means, that Trump does bear some responsibility for the days events.
He bears as much responsibility for the riotous behavior on Jan. 6th as the Dems do for the entire year of BLM riots and Antifa destruction. Not to mention the small portion of Portland that was taken over by Left-wing activists for month. When the Dems that are responsible for those things are investigated and punished in entirety, then fine....I’ll discuss Trump being investigated and punished. Until then...no deal.
With that, you enable the Left's illogical "nose under the tent" approach to the issue.
Trump encouraged patriots to exercise their constitutional rights.
There is no rational basis for attaching 'responsibility" for an act that is entirely permissible, no atonement or further act is required.
In a sane world, given the evidence that was then of record, Trump's encouragement might have provided the R members of Congress the courage to return the Certificates to the States for further consideration. In which case, many would have applauded his action.
The Jan6 riot was a political device that intentionally interrupted that outcome.
