  1. From the article:

    A federal judge slapped down Trump’s argument that he wasn’t civilly liable for inciting violence at the deadly Capitol riot because his “Stop the Steal” speech was comparable to a rapper working up the crowd.

    “To illustrate the point, he poses the hypothetical of a popular rapper (bearing some resemblance to Eminem) whose concert performance leads to fan violence,“ U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta wrote in a decision.

    Trump told his followers on Jan. 6 to “fight like hell” or “you’re not going to have a country anymore,” before they stormed the Capitol.

    „Here is what is missing from the President’s hypothetical,“ he wrote.

    To be an accurate comparison, the rapper would have needed to tell his fans for weeks before the concert that the „Establishment“ had taken something valuable from them through fraud and deceit. He would have needed to know they were planning to act violently that very day, including bringing weapons to the show, to reclaim what was stolen from them.

    The rapper also would have needed to specifically identify the offending members of the „Establishment,“ and direct his fans to descend thousands strong on the exact place at the exact time the „Establishment“ was working to take away that thing of value.

    “Only if those facts are included does the rap concert begin to resemble January 6,” Judge Mehta wrote.

    Eminem famously hates him as well. He even wrote a whole diss track during trump’s first term.

    Artists usually sign contracts taking responsibility if the artist encourages the audience to riot.
