I think just as taking him out of context is bad taking the context out of his statements is bad.

He has been using rhetoric of the kind they have accuse him of for a long time now but is always careful to never directly call for violence.

Doublespeak is part of his grifting strategy after all. You would need to see how the extreme groups reacted to those tweets. If they used similar verbiage to what Twitter says I think at this point holding Trump to that as proof of bad enough speaking is fine.

Honestly the reality is his tweet history earned him the ban but pointing to one set of tweets is easier PR.
