That was debunked by fact-checkers.

If that was the case, why do the people invading the capitol feel "betrayed" by his video condemning them? No, it wasn't legally incitement. It was absolutely stoked by him.

  You're blaming election fraud as the culprit then not trump. Half the country is mad as hell, because there's 3k+ signed affidavits, 140 congressmen, at least two majority of state congresses, reports from data scientists, cctv footage, voting machine forensic reports in MI and AZ, and a lot of dismissal by courts based on standing not merits. It's unprecedented and it's straight up totalitarian to say "no mention of election fraud is allowed"

    Nobody is saying you can’t mention the idea of election fraud. What’s getting rejected are attempts to lie about it and still be taken seriously. It’s true that a large number of people are mad but that’s because people are feeding them propaganda instead of truth. I don’t know whether you are intentionally repeating claims you know to be untrue or haven’t looked at the details but you should ask yourself what it tells us when the President’s own lawyers keep dropping these cases. They wouldn’t do that if there was any merit to the case – and they’re certainly not out of money. The claims just aren’t true and they know it - once the fundraising dries up they’ll move on to something else.
