How Trump's 'will be wild!' tweet drew rioters to the Capitol on Jan. 6
/////////////A man who pleaded guilty to breaching the Capitol building, Stephen Ayres, testified to the committee that Trump's social media posts encouraged him to attend the rally on Jan. 6. "He basically put out, you know, come to the 'Stop the Steal' rally, you know, and I felt like I needed to be down here," Ayres testified.Court documents from the more than 800 criminal cases stemming from the Capitol riot tell a similar story. In several cases, records from the criminal proceedings have referenced how Trump's tweet motivated rioters to make plans to come to Washington, D.C., and, in some cases, to gather weapons and body armor ahead of the trip.
*************************"Big protest in D.C. on January 6th," he wrote, referring to the day Congress was set to formally certify Joe Biden's victory in the electoral college."Be there, will be wild!"*****************

I saw this tweet my self.
I wanted the eye in the sky to see me. I wanted to create a shadow - to be counted among those who knew the election was rigged.
Well, EVERYBODY knew it. But many were too cowardly or dishonest to admit they knew it.
Anyway, I was there. Many hundreds of thousands of others were there. The percentage that went into the capitol was a fraction of one percent of attendees.
If your argument is that Trump's invitation was a call to violence, then you need to explain the 99+% who did not get violent. Even among those who went into the capitol, the ones who got violent were a small percentage.
