In the wake of the Capitol riot, a bipartisan panel has released a report blaming former President Trump for inciting the violence. The report says that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and his policies have created an atmosphere of hatred and division that led to the riot.

The report also blames Trump for failing to denounce the far-right group, whose members were involved in some of the most violent skirmishes that day.
“This was not an isolated incident,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), who chairs the panel. “The president has routinely used divisive and dangerous rhetoric to sow discord and hatred in our country.”
Trump has yet to issue a statement in response to the report about his involvement in the capitol riot.

Trump’s “Lies” About the Election “Incited” the Capitol Riot, Panel Says

Trump “Unquestionably” Bears “Some Responsibility” for the Riot, Panel Finds
A bipartisan panel convened to investigate the causes of the January Capitol riot has unanimously concluded that President Donald Trump bears “some responsibility” for the outbreak. The panel, led by Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Doug Collins (R-GA), issued a report on Wednesday finding that while Trump did not directly cause the riot, his incendiary rhetoric and attacks on the press “unquestionably” influenced some of the protesters.
“It is not a coincidence that the inflamed rhetoric of Donald Trump coincided with an increase in violence towards journalists,” Nadler said in a statement. “We cannot tolerate a president who incites violence against the free press and members of Congress simply because they disagree with him.”
Collins, meanwhile, said that while he did not agree with all of the report’s findings, he believed Trump bore some responsibility for the riot. “I do not condone the actions of those who caused the disruption on January 20, but I do believe that President Trump must be held accountable for his words and actions,” he said.
The panel has released a report that concludes that Trump should be held accountable for the Capitol riot. The report finds that Trump’s rhetoric is to blame for the violence that erupted at the Capitol.
