If Scalise was honest, he would have denounced Trump for stirring up the invasion of the Capitol by his supporters...then voted to impeach
Trump's defenders show a droopy eye to his encouragement of white nationalism and incitement of violence...they do so by saying he never actually uses those specific words...the vagueness is intentional...his peeps understand the "code"
"knock the crap outta him" "but don't hurt him too much, don't worry, I'll defend you" mighta been the only time he was specific, but he has said so much numerous times since then...
in the weeks leading up to the Jan 6 "Stop the Steal" rally, Trump and his minions openly invited his followers to attend the "wild"
