Hi there, friend,

Some of the rioters at the January 6 Capitol insurrection are trying to wiggle out of culpability by placing the blame squarely on the man who started it all.

"You have to understand the cult mentality," Clint Broden, one rioter's defense attorney, told USA TODAY. "They prey on vulnerable victims and give them a sense of purpose. In this case, Trump convinced his cult followers that they were working to preserve democracy."

We don't at all think that excuse should get these insurrectionists out of taking responsibility for their crimes -- but we do agree that Trump is most to blame for the violence we saw on January 6.

Do you blame Trump for the Capitol riots?
