They went, but were not among the rioters. They did not riot. Only the rioters rioted. But because the narrative is that Trump caused this riot, all Trump supporters that were there are rioters. Yet Trump had nothing to do with the riot.
They were there literally among the rioters. They may not have rioted but they attended the rally among the rioters who did go on to riot.
Can you show me where you have seen the narrative "all Trump supporters that were there [meaning at the rally, not the riot itself] are rioters"? I have never, ever seen anyone make that assertion.
No, he did not incite the crowd to march down there and riot.
He did - I know this because the rioters themselves are the ones who said he did.
As for whataboutism, the hypocrisy of left's demonizing whole segments of the population, by association, with the rioters,
Again, please show me examples of this - I have not seen any such thing.
while ignoring or excusing or casting in a positive light —and even encouraging— earlier rioting in which much worse damage was done by the rioters, points to the left's interpretation of events Jan 6 as mere biased 'interpretation'.
I don't agree with your assertion that the left did that, but even if they did, how does that make it right for the right-wing rioters to riot? This whataboutism doesn't make the rioters' actions any more OK on either side, so I don't know what your point is in bringing it up, other than to perhaps distract from the fact that the right-wing rioters did what they did.
On top of that, there are claims that some of the rioters and specially some of the instigators were leftists, but that is still poo-pooed, or shouted down, or ignored; it is simply not interesting to those who have a narrative that needs to be preached.
Those claims are poo-pooed because they are empty. There is no evidence of such a thing, in fact the evidence proves that these people were all right-wing Trump supporters. If I'm wrong, please feel free to show me, but I have not seen evidence of your claims at all.
Soros and his kind, if they don't believe in Christianity's afterlife, have a lot to answer for. I wouldn't want their 'Karma'.
Many people don't believe in Christianity or Christ, the Bible says so. That doesn't have a border with political affiliation - it's just as prevalent among right-wingers as left-wingers and everyone in between.
No, it was planned before Trump had anything to say, nor did he instigate anything.
Again, the evidence says that the rioters themselves say they were following orders from Trump.
What's to know??? You don't remember???? You don't want to remember.
As I explained above, any other riot that has ever happened has no bearing on this one. No other riot done by anyone at any time makes the Jan. 6 riot any more OK, it is as bad as it is and no whataboutism can change that, no matter how much you want it to.
Who said it was ok to riot, or to do anything you claim happened there?
For the Jan. 6 riot it was the Trump supporters who rioted that claim they thought it was OK to riot because they believed they were following orders from President Trump. Is that what you're driving at?
