But there are some facts we should not forget.
Donald Trump could have stopped the assault on our government if he had chosen.
Many people called him and pleaded for him to stop the assault on our Capitol. The mob took down the American flag and put up a Trump flag. What should that tell us? They beat a police officer with an American flag as he lay helpless on the ground. What does that say about their love for the American flag? Or for the "blue line"?
He told the mob at the rally that "We are going to march down to the Capitol", giving them the impression that he was going to go with them.
Once again, he told them that he had won a landslide victory and that someone was going to be in the White House that should not be there. There was no evidence that he won the election and more than 60 judges, after careful examination of the facts, disagreed with him. But he continued with the Big Lie. And he made his supporters believe it. The truth is so uncomfortable sometimes.
He advised the mob that some of the people at the Capitol were strong and some were weak and that they had to be "strong". That is how they were to distinguish who was on their side and who was not?
He advised them that if they were not "strong", they would not have a country very long.
It was all code but they understood it perfectly. They knew very well what he was asking them to do. They thought he was with them.
After the mob had breached the Capitol, many people inside and out were calling for help. Trump ignored them. He enjoyed watching it on TV, according to reports. After the damage had been done, he came out and gave a short, meaningless speech.
Whether you love Trump or not, you should not dismiss these basic facts.
Everybody has grievances against their government but they don't get in their private plane and fly to Washington to attack our Capitol and the people elected to office. They don't look to overthrow our democracy. It is insane and criminal.
No one can justify it by saying Hillary called us "deplorables" or Robert DeNiro threatened to punch Trump in the face. That is a sick and weak equivocation.
