That is ultimately what led to what happened at the Capitol, and who knows what else it may lead to here in the next couple of weeks.

This may sound like splitting hairs, but I believe it is a valid distinction.

I believe the main reason there was such a big riot Wednesday was that Trump was telling his followers that there was still a way to overturn the election.  The protestors were not rioting about the failure on election day.  Instead they were rioting over the robbery that took place Wednesday.

I believe that even if Trump had continued to say the election was stolen there would not have been a riot Wednesday if he had just admitted that there was nothing that could be done on Wednesday to overturn the results.
