1. Donald Trump spent months planning the January 6 telling his followers lies about election fraud & encouraging them to “fight” for him. He tweeted about a big protest in D.C. that would be “wild” not peaceful. 
2. Despite chatter of planned violence on social media & likely law enforcement intelligence Donald Trump did not arrange appropriate security & crowd control for his Jan. 6 rally that led to the storming of the Capitol & people dying.
3. Donald Trump gave a speech at Jan 6 rally attacking democracy & elected officials, spouted many lies about the election. Used words like “fight” repeatedly then he told the audience to March down Pennsylvania Ave. to the Capitol with no crowd control rev.com/blog/transcrip…
4. After the Capitol was stormed & people died from his incitement Donald Trump tweets he will not be attend the inauguration. This is a message to his followers who are planning armed insurrections that he will not honor a peaceful transfer of power. He is appropriately banned
The Trump campaign & dark money groups invested in getting as many people to Washington as possible for a “Wild” protest not a peaceful protest this incited a riot.
6. Donald Trump & his campaign started grooming his supporters for violence when they realized they were down in the polls. He brought the “Trump Army” to attack our Capitol on January 6 & more violence is likely.
He must face consequences now.
He must face consequences now.
7. Despite his the denials from him & his enablers the words of Donald Trump were taken very seriously:
