Anyone can incite anyone over anything nowadays, such a stupid term which negates free will.I think there’s two important points in this case:
1. What he said was baseless. There was absolutely zero credible evidence for what he said.
2. It caused his victims harm. Whether he incited his supporters to harass the victims is debatable (I’d say yes) but I think we can all imagine the emotion harm this must have caused his victims during such a difficult time for them.
IMO, if either of these isn’t true then he should be entitled to his own opinion.
