   You lost me right there. I watched this unfold on live TV.  I consider a   
   man going after a cop with a baseball bat or a sharpened pole "armed."   
   Plus some carried firearms. And Trump said, "Fight like hell."   
      
   The fact that Trump lied to them and convinced them they are doing   
   something honorable does not make Trump less culpable.   
      
   You just can't successfully rewrite history this easily.
