The deleted tweets could be considered "a lie" or whatever but srsly nothing in there justifies deleting it. He's actively calling for peace, law & order and to let the blue do their job.

What a wild selective (mis)reading of his Twitter account. Did you miss the parts where he said he loved the people who stormed the Capitol with rifles today? Or the part where he said the vice president should just declare him the winner of the election?

Like I said call it a "lie" if he says dumb/not true stuff. He could say Stalin was a great person or whatever who cares. I certainly dont need or want twitter to decide whether that should be read or not.

>Did you miss the parts where he said he loved the people who stormed the Capitol with rifles today?

He never said that that that's just total nonsense not even misinterpretation that straight made up BS. You could just as well says he said he loves rapists because it happens to be that at least one of the person at the protest was a convicted rapist. If that's how you interpret things from someone you dont like you have a serious problem with reality.

Hes speech was to the people who attender the protest not specifically to thous who entered the building which obviously where a minority. And even if he included the people who entered the building he did not encourage them in any way to do anything they should not do, in fact if he includes them he too told them to go home peacefully.

His tweet literally included the lines: "We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens."

That's as clear and unambiguous as it gets.

I have no clue what you interpret into this that isn't there. "We" is him and his supporters, "you" are the people that supported him. There is nothing controversial. And noting that could somehow be spinned to make it bad. But somehow you still see something evil in there. Its called bias.

We is him, you is the people on the Capitol grounds. The rest of the message sets the context that this is clearly aimed at the protestors. I don't know what's preventing you from seeing this.

That literally what I said. He speaks to all the people there not specifically to thous who broke laws. And he called for peace, law and order and to go home. But somehow you came to the conclusion that "he said he loved the people who stormed the Capitol with rifles today" Cant you see how biased that is? You just picked the <0.001% of protestors that apparently stormed the capitol with rifles. Why not pick the >90% while people just pretend that he only addresses them and thus only love white people so he must be racist right? You can make up any shit you want with such a retarded non-logic way of interpreting what he clearly said to all the people there.

Take a breath, you seem angry. It's not ok to be using slurs here.
