A liberal group on Wednesday filed a lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot in Colorado, arguing he is ineligible to run for the White House again under a rarely used clause in the U.S. Constitution aimed at candidates who have supported an “insurrection.”

      He ordered his followers to march to the capitol and “fight like hell” and then didn’t clarify “oh no I meant rhetorically” when they started breaking in and chanting “hang mike pence”

      Like hell he wasn’t a part of it

        So just tenuous bullshit then. Calling for a protest does not entail support or participation in anything that happens at it.

          He also did nothing to stop the insurrection while it was happening - he could’ve easily given the order for the military or national guard to intervene and he did no such thing. In fact he watched it all go down on tv and did NOTHING. That is a failure to uphold his oath to protect and defend the constitution.
