And I thought Trump was protected by the 1st Amendment. Doesn’t that mean it doesn’t matter what he said?
Besides, the rioters are responsible for their actions, but implicitly Trump is not responsible for his? Trump goaded the violence long before the January 6th speech. The crowds didn’t show up by chance or happenstance, and many did say they were acting following Trump’s lead. It wasn’t a single speech or even a single phrase that set them off.
