If the Senate finds it worthwhile to “impeach” a former president for inciting violence by explicitly calling for supporters to protest peacefully, why not impeach any number of Democrats from offices they still hold? A much easier case for incitement could be made for any number of them, as Rand Paul demonstrates:
Sen. Rand Paul:
"No Democrat will honestly ask whether Bernie Sanders incited the shooter that nearly killed Steve Scalise."
"No Democrat will ask whether Maxine Waters incited violence when she literally told her supporters" to confront Trump officials in public. pic.twitter.com/ytDKsscxgh

Not only did Kamala Harris raise funds to bail rioters out of jail, she actually said of the Black Lives Matter/Antifa events that hundreds of times were designated as riots,
“They’re not going to stop before election day in November and they’re not going to stop after election day. … They are not going to let up. And they should not.”
This is closer to incitement than anything said by Trump.
Hat tip: Not the Bee.
