Trump’s speech (alone) may not have been illegal. Pence’s speech probably wasn’t illegal for the same reason, but McEnnany’s speech was definitely illegal, and so was Pompeo’s. Trump authorized those speeches. As such, he is, at the very least, an accessory to those crimes.

Don’t be fooled into believing that the RNC didn’t break the law. It did, and it did so in a brazen fashion. The article quoted in the OP may be technically correct, but it’s underlying purpose is to gaslight you and others.
