(5,268 posts)57. Instead of calling up National Guard for backup to control armed mob he incited crowd to violence
He and his security people and WH aides did nothing to make sure law enforcement could control and disarm those in the crowd.
I wonder if some of those with AR-15's held back near the Capitol waiting for him to come to Capitol and issue them more instructions before they went ballistic but he didn't get there and didn't say anything more until his email about Mike Pence. Or else they were confronted by some DC police and headed off from Capitol before a shooting rampage occurred. I know the DC police made many arrests and confiscated weapons prior to the Jan 6 ellipse rally including van loads of weapons that came in a day or two earlier.
