The rally itself was financed by Julie Fancelli and Alex Jones. She had previously donated a million bucks to Trump. Are you thinking she's a BLM supporter? Who has been arrested that you can identify as Antifa or BLM? The one guy you will bring up has been disowned by the BLM in Utah...
The protesters who stood around the capitol are not the issue. The two thousand or so who broke windows and doors to get into the capitol, build a gallows on the lawn and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" are. They attempted a violent attack on congress and the constitutional process of completing the election process and if you don't think that "Stop the Steal" was not motivated by an attempt to keep Trump in office you are not only dishonest, you are dishonorable.
Yes, Trump said march to the capitol building peacefully....and then fight like hell to stop the steal or you won't have a country any more.
Communications between Oathkeepers shows their intent was to occupy the capitol building.
Tell us why it took so long for Trump to communicate to the rioters that they should stop the violence?
At 8am Trump tweets out
"All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the states and we win"...Trump is suggesting Pence has the power to reject electors. He doesn't.
Trump's speech ended at 1:10 pm eastern.
At about 1pm the mob has pushed through outer temp barriers and Sund had put in a call for National guard troops.
At 1:30 the crowd pushed through the barriers at the bottom of the stairs. Capitol police have retreated up the steps and at 1:50 it is delcared a riot. At 2pm there are reports that the mob is breaking windows and doors to enter the capitol.
At 2:15 Pence is evacuated.
At 2:24 Trump tweet says Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country.
At 2:26 Trump mistakenly calls Tommy Tuberville and is told they are evacuating.
at about 2:40 Trump tweets out "stay peaceful, support the police"....
at about 3:15 Trump tweets out "I am asking everyone at the capitol to stay peaceful. No violence"....
So two hours after the violence began Trump sends out that weak tweet about please be nice....
At 4:05 Biden calls on Trump to condemn the violence....
At 4:17 Trump puts out a video in which he tells the mob to go home.
That is three f*cking hours after the violence began.
Trump, at 6pm, tweets out the following....
"
These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"
Here's a reminder of what happened on the historic day a mob stormed the Capitol.

Trump did not condemn the violence until the next day.
