Just so we're clear, when he talks about "the most violent thing" he's ever seen in politics, he's *not* talking about those who violently attacked the Capitol in his name, while violently clashing with police officers.

He's instead talking about efforts to hold them and their allies accountable.

TRUMP: It was the most violent thing I've ever seen in politics -- what they did. And yet if I say, 'let's look at this one,' they say, 'Weaponization!' We think anybody involved should partake. You're talking about peanuts.
