Trump refused McCarthy’s pleas to call off the mob everyone knows Trump incited

Everyone knows that Trump incited the 1/6 lynch mob and approved of what it was doing in real time, and this includes the Republican leadership:
In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did. “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy. McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump’s supporters and begged Trump to call them off.
Trump’s comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men.
A furious McCarthy told the President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, “Who the f–k do you think you are talking to?” according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.
The defense presented today was extremely dumb because, as Raskin says, if what Trump did isn’t impeachable you might as well take the relevant provisions out of the Constitution.
