What did Rudy Giuliani mean by "trial by combat" ??

As soon as his speech was over, his audience marched over to the Capitol and we saw hand-to-hand combat at the doors of the Capitol. Should Rudy be charged with inciting an insurrection? What did he mean by "trial by combat"?

And, yes, of course he should be tried and sentenced for sedition and insurrection.

And the scary thing is that it would be plausible.

Lock him up.

A regular Roland Freisler in his dreams (note the bronze bust CPIMP updated to gold paint in the background).
