There is the issue of knowing what the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers were planning & wanted to do. Trump had operatives on his campaign staff that were in communication with the two groups on a regular basis.(Flynn & Stone) He knew up front, that it wouldn't take much to spark the crowd. Sanders had no such foreknowledge of groups in the people she was speaking to, despite the somewhat false rumors about Antifa that were always floated around by conservative media.
The Jan 6 hearings certainly showed that far-right groups were heavily involved in the riot, and they felt emboldened by things Trump said. I have no idea what far-left groups were at or listening to Harris' speech, and I have no idea what they are planning to do. Regardless, I go back to what I originally said. It can't be okay for one side to talk that way and wrong for the other.

Nobody gets to call a mob to DC. Trump told his supporters to fight, just like Kamala did in her concession speech. In fact, she used the word fight numerous times in her concession speech and said the fight isn't over. Does that mean she is calling her supporters to go to DC and try to overturn the results? No, absolutely not. Just like Trump wasn't when he said it. I've already condemned what happened on January 6. It should have never happened.
