It was not overtly violent, as Golem claimed, nor did it go unopposed by other Democrats.Mothra said:So, you disagree with your own politifact link that Waters was not calling for violence, but merely urging a policy discussion?Sam Lowry said:Only the Maxine Waters quote was troubling in context, and other Democrats did object to it as well.Wangchung said:Exactly. And the context of each quote was to go out and cause trouble. Not a single one of the democrats who made those statements said anything about doing it peacefully, like Trump said on 1/6.Sam Lowry said:No one takes issue with the existence of the quotes, but only the context in which they're presented.Wangchung said:Not a single one of those quotes changed with your CNN link. Try again.Sam Lowry said:Also debunked.Wangchung said:Not one democrat said to go and protest peacefully.Sam Lowry said:Debunked.Golem said:
Later Trump said, "There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives, and unfortunately, there's plenty to go around." I'm almost sure Trump said that.
And then he said of his supporters, "They're not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they're not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they're not gonna stop after Election Day." He went on to say, "Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they're not going to let up and they should not. And we should not."
Trump didn't stop there, though. He took aim at the Biden administration, saying to his Trumpsters "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gas station, you get out and create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." While some thought this was encouraging violence, Trump kept going. "The people are going to turn on them. They're going to protest. They're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the President, 'No, I can't hang with you."
Not content to end with such overtly violent rhetoric, Trump continued, "I just don't know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be."
(Just kidding, these were all statements by very prominent democrats. Leftists like Sam didn't make a peep when these nut jobs overtly called for violence)

Hmm. You might consider that politifact has a credibility problem before posting future links in an attempt to debunk others.
Any remotely mainstream source is going to be criticized on this board. There's no point in worrying about what can't be avoided.
