I don't believe Trump was referring to the violent protestors. As I've abundantly made clear, in video and photos, they have the look and demeanor of Antifa/BLM activists, DISGUISED as Trump supporters. Not ACTUAL Trump supporters.

And I even differentiate between the BLM/Antifa infiltrator violent actors, and the more dimwitted dupes who just followed them into the Capitol building, to take photos, wander around, and maybe swipe and take home some trophies. They're only guilty of criminal trespass.

So those would be covered in this part of Trump's statement :

It's a very tough period of time. There's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil.

I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.
