Just go back and look at what he did During the 187 minutes [of the Capitol attack], Trump watched the mob assault the Capitol in his name, brutally beat police officers in his name, and had family members and his most senior supporters and advisors pleading with him to say something, to tell the mob to go home and that he wouldn't do it.
