Pointless but, just for fun, here are some quotes from Trump prior to the Capitol attack:
All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by a bold and radical left Democrats which is what they are doing and stolen by the fake news media. That is what they have done and what they are doing. We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.
We want to go back and we want to get this right because we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there and our country will be destroyed and we’re not going to stand for that.
Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.
We will not be intimidated into accepting the hoaxes and the lies that we’ve been forced to believe.
You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can’t let that happen.
Let them get out. Let–let the weak ones get out. This is a time for strength. They also want to indoctrinate your children in school by teaching them things that aren’t so. They want to indoctrinate your children. It’s all part of a comprehensive assault on our democracy and the American people are finally standing up and saying no. This crowd is, again, a testament to it.
The radical left knows exactly what they were doing. They are ruthless and it’s time that somebody did something about it. And Mike Pence, I hope you’re going to stand up for the good of our constitution and for the good of our country.
And if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you. I will tell you right now. I’m not hearing good stories.
Together we are determined to defend and preserve government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
…I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life, but I said something is wrong here, something is really wrong, can’t have happened and we fight, we fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore.
So we are going to–we are going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give–the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote but we are going to try–give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re try–going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.
That’s only what he said during the rally immediately before the Capitol attack. Could add plenty if things he said prior to that.
Like I said, nothing he said matters to his followers. The argument will remain that he didn’t literally say it or that he was joking/figurative. The same excuses used throughout his presidency - ultimately he is not responsible for anything he says.
