I wasn't offering up an excuse for his ignorance. Just poking fun at his cult members. It would have just been easier for him to say the word from the beginning instead of beating around the bush.

No one was surprised. In general, people like him tend to support and push the worst version of humanity, then present bad faith arguments as to why they're not racist until they just can't keep gaslighting. It usually comes in the form of one pining for the days when he could lynch someone or normalizing why brown people needed to be shot, but then ignoring how a few thousand non-brown yahoos can storm the capitol and only one of them takes a bullet for their troubles.

Meanwhile, back on topic.
Will Mitch ever admit that it was quite directly his fault that the GOP lost Georgia, or will he just retire and never mention it?
How poetic was it to see Lindsey Graham, who has been lapdog #1 since January 21, 2017 giving up on him last night?
The "president" says there will be a transfer of power on Jan 20th, still without using the word "concede," which I guess will be as much as we get on that.
If someone incites a riot, then retreats to hide in his dining room to watch it on TV and four people die, can they be charged in the deaths?

Okay, so inciting a riot is a felony.
Culpable homicide laws have it that when a death occurs during or as a result of the commission of a felony, then the person behind the original felony can be held guilty for said death. Trust me, I spent a week and a half looking into how that works for a novel I wrote several years ago. Spend some time looking it up yourself if you don't.
Since the so-called president incited yesterday's riots and now four people have died, I am personally sitting aside and hoping to see him brought up on charges for it.
