UPDATE 2/13/2021: It’s just come to my attention that the video I often refer to in these episodes about the insurrection—where Trump watched in delight while his followers stormed the Captiol—is only partially true.

My apologies for not seeing this sooner and spreading the very misinformation that I’m trying to counteract! Read more on SNOPES.
