Feel free to start a thread to discuss specific politicians, what they said and what they should have done.. But there are no politicians on the left who could have said stop, and gotten the protesters/ rioters to stop. The protestors were not there because of something a politician said. The Dems don’t have a cult like leader like Trump.
Trump is unique in that sense. He had the power to stop his supports that day but didn’t even try. Instead, after the breach at the capital, he tweets about Mike Pence not having courage. That alone should have been disqualifying for a normal person.
