1. Of all the things Republicans Senators are saying about the impeachment trial, "I blame the rioters, not Trump," is the dumbest
2. TRUMP:
* Invented the lie that the election was stolen
* Told his supporters to come to DC on Jan 6 and get "wild"
* Held a rally where he spoke to the mob for an hour and told them to "fight like hell"
* Instructed the mob to march to the Capitol
3. AFTER THE RIOT THAT LEFT SEVERAL PEOPLE DEAD, TRUMP:
* Described it as "things and events that happen" when an election is stolen
* Said everyone should look back on the riot fondly: "Remember this day forever!"
4. Trump organized the mob, told them what to do, and after they did it said it was a natural thing to happen and that everyone would always remember them as "great patriots"
Saying that we should blame the rioters and not Trump is unbelievably dumb
