How Trump railed against ‘insurrection’ while encouraging Oath Keepers insurrectionists

In the 2020 presidential election, then-President Donald Trump ran on a fear-mongering “law and order” platform — insisting that the United States would be overwhelmed by violent crime, looting, chaos and anarchy if now-President Joe Biden were elected and warning that any “insurrectionists” would be dealt with harshly.
