Still a reach! He supported a protest, condemned violence and called for peace multiple times. Readjusting context so that actually he was calling for violence does not feel honest to me.

I tend to agree. But if you get half the country to truly believe that democrats &lawmakers cheated and stole the election through widespread coordinated fraud, it’s not so much a stretch to expect people to revolt against the government. Maybe if you include that in the context.

If right-wing terrorism is "condemned" by speaking about violence "from both sides" and anything else isn't adressed that way, don't you think that difference also communicates something?
