    No member of the current Democratic party leadership would never encourage Democratic voters to behave violently, to illegally occupy the capitol building, or to seize control of the government via undemocratic means.

    Freudian slip or intentional exit loophole? Yes, you really wrote it like that, I just highlighted the double negation to draw your attention to it. But as it is written, I would agree, and here is why. Yes, not everyone in this video is part of the Democratic party leadership, some of them are just prominent members or supporters, but you’ll definitely see some of the people you explicitly mentioned doing some of the things you’d say they would never do. And it’s good to hear that you condemn all of this, but they DID say it, that is not up for dispute.

    Now I’m looking forward to you showing me video proof of your claim about Republican leadership calling for violence on or around January 6th, because apart from Trump telling people to “fight light hell” (followed by the reminder to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”), I haven’t seen any. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, I’m well aware that I am biased and may have just as big of a blind spot as you do.
