Brother-in-law of Capitol riot victim: President Trump to blame for inciting violence that killed...
Source: NY Daily News
The brother-in-law of a Georgia woman trampled to death in the U.S. Capitol riot laid the blame for her death squarely on President Trump.
It is my own personal belief that the presidents words and rhetoric incited a riot (Wednesday) that killed four of his biggest fans, said Justin Cave, whose sister-in-law Rosanne Boyland was crushed as protesters stormed the building after an incendiary two-hour speech by the president.
And I believe that we should invoke the 25th Amendment at this time, added Cave in a Thursday statement calling for Trumps removal from the Oval Office before the end of his first and last term in the White House.
Boyland, 34, traveled with a friend from her home in Kennesaw, Ga., to the nations capital to join other Make America Great Again protesters only to die as the rabid Trump supporters surged toward the Capitol at the presidents urging.

(10,943 posts)...sad. Being trampled to death is horrific. Being a Trump Fan does not make it less horrific. The dead had families and lives... I remember thinking, when it was Hillary vs Trump, that the latter's rally might be more interesting, even though I was voting for the former. That might have been a mistake, I see, now... I feel bad for all the victims, no matter why they were there.

A worse day for others.
Wonder if they'll sue Trump in civil court? Just like the lady that Trump raped and then slandered.
