Sounds far more threatening than anything Trump said, but all I remember are crickets. fricking hypocrites.

yea, you're right. i could read it either way.

You missed the most important part of the speech where Trump told the crowd that they would be "marching over to the Capitol building to "peacefully and patriotically" make their voices be heard.

The PBS video of the speech is linked. Also, I included below the relevant excerpts from the speech with the corresponding times from the video, so everyone can verify the "incitement" for themselves.

At 56:43 minutes, Trump says:

"After this, we’re going to walk down and I’ll be there with you. We’re going to walk down. We’re going to walk down any one you want, but I think right here. We’re going walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women."

At 57:35 minutes, Trump says:

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections."

At 1:51:49, Trump says in conclusion:

"So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country."
