Melber asked, “Do you think Donald Trump bears responsibility for that storming?”

Stockton responded, “I do think he bears some responsibility, from an organizer’s standpoint.” He added,

We had done several D.C. rallies after the election. We knew what kind of logistics it took to move a crowd of that size from one place to another. We had led people to go from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court, which is about the same distance. It required a huge logistical effort. I mean medics, stopping stations, marshals, closures of streets, cooperation with a dozen different government agencies.

None of that was in place for the march to the Capitol. If they had wanted do that, we would have been happy to do that. We had the templates do it. None of that was in place, and so I do think it was wildly irresponsible to send people down to the Capitol that way.
