You also have to remember, the POTUS had called the protesters to go home peacefully, and the media SHUT the calls down.
The media (and by extension the dems) WANTED a riot so they can demonize their opponents and use it for thier political gains… ie. impeachment/permanent banning on government/media platforms.
Trump had always called for a “peaceful demonstration”.
And all those whom were “arrested” and claim Trump “ordered the riots” are liars.
With independent reports of antifa impersonating supporters, and using them as false-flaggers/actors who were let in by the capital security (opened doors/moved aside barricades) and who will not get prosecuted (just like they were not during the summer of riots), if they say the “orange man” told them to riot.
Of course, the “blind eyed” media will overlook these facts, and only report those same rioters said trumps said so.
And if they can arrest some who did peacefully demonstrate and declare them as domestic terrorists (while leaving their own antifa/blm terrorists intack) all the better for their political goals.
