  Well when it’s your supporters doing it after telling them to do it, and then when you are able to put a stop to it but choose to watch it happen on tv instead, then it’s not necessary in that case to separate them. He stoked the fire and sat back and watched. Kinda hard to claim innocence there, bud.

  Maybe one day you’ll construct an argument worth reading 🤣

    I didn’t claim innocence. I said it wasn’t an insurrection, because it wasn’t.

      It was, and doing the online equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and screaming “NO INSURRECTION LA LA LA” is not as compelling as you might think it is.

      Technically I think 4 or 5 people were insurrectionists. The rest were not. I think that is how many were charged and convicted of it.

      You would think if it was going to be a true insurrection, people would have shown up with guns and not left for the early bird special at Denny’s/
