It is very different.
Saying We are going to fight for a minimum wage increase is different than telling people dressed and armed for battle to go off and fight the fight.
And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. . This is a call to action.
It is even more damning because we now know there was an effort to delay the vote count and the actual fight was one of the vehicles used to try to delay the count and kick it into the House.
This was a direct call to action by those who have used violence in the past.

There is no evidence that the people at the Willard discussed anything other than the rally.

Not only across the River. Some drove them into town and left them in their cars.
