Did Donald J. Trump incite the violent failed coup attempt on Jan 6?
Debate Information
1. Donald J. Trump has been insisting ( and still is ) that he lost the election due to massive voter fraud. He even went to court to try to prove it, even though, he didn't offer any evidence and all of his cases were dismissed. Some of the lawyers are now being sanctioned for wasting the court's time and the tax payer's money. His claim is called "the big lie".
Here is a short list of the things that he said in public on Jan 6 just before the attack on the Capitol:
Here is a short list of the things that he said in public on Jan 6 just before the attack on the Capitol:
“I just talked to Mike.I said, ‘Mike, overturning the results doesn’t take courage. What takes courage is to
do nothing. That takes courage.’…We’re just not going to let that
happen.”
“We will never give up; we will never concede,We will stop the steal. We’re going to walk down
Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol…We’re going to try
and give our Republicans, the weak ones…the kind of pride and boldness
that they need to take back our country.”
“There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened, where
they could take it away, from all of us—from me, from you, from our
country"
“This was a fraudulent
election"
“You’ve seen what happens. You’ve seen the way others are treated that
are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. ”
2. The repeated vague references to a broad cast of nefarious
enemies—“they” and “others” who “are so bad and so evil”—is typical of
authoritarian tactics for cementing loyalty by invoking powerful but nonspecific threats. Though ostensibly intended to slow violence, Trump’s message was instead rapidly removed from Facebook, and other social media platforms over fears that it would make things worse.
3. Former President Donald Trump on Thursday condemned the criminal
prosecution of hundreds of his supporters who were part of the mob that
invaded the Capitol complex on Jan. 6.
4. U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger took questions from the media
on Friday about security preparations ahead of Saturday’s “Justice for
J6” rally being held in support of those accused of crimes in the Jan. 6
attack on the Capitol. Manger said it was difficult to determine if the
threats of violence related to Saturday’s rally are credible, but
citing the Jan. 6. attack itself, he said, “We’re not taking any
chances.”
5. Trump was impeached for inciting the riot, which interrupted
confirmation of the Electoral College win by President Joe Biden, but
was acquitted after a Senate trial.
