Republicans on Wednesday dug up past instances of Democratic House impeachment managers and President Biden using the words “fight” or “fight like hell” — one of the key allegations against former President Donald Trump at his Senate trial.
The Save America PAC’s “Trump War Room” tweeted a “FLASHBACK” screenshot of lead House manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) invoking the notion of combat to block Republican efforts to swiftly replace the late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her death in September.
“The GOP rush to replace Justice Ginsburg is all about destroying the Affordable Care Act, women’s health care and reproductive freedom, and the voting rights and civil rights of the people,” Raskin tweeted at the time.
“We must fight like hell to stop this assault on health care and the Constitution.”
In another tweet unearthed by the Trump War Room, Raskin exhorted, “This is our Democracy–fight for it” in 2017 while calling for a probe into Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
A 2019 Atlantic magazine interview featured Raskin saying of Trump’s presidency, “Let’s hope for the best, be prepared for the worst, and go fight like hell for the Constitution” the Trump War Room tweeted.
And a 2017 article reposted on his own website shows Raskin saying, “We’ve got to wake up every day and fight like hell for liberal democracy, not just in Maryland, not just in the United States, but all over the world.”
The Trump War Room also resurfaced a pair of 2017 tweets in which House manager Ted Lieu (R-Calif.) put a violent spin on former First Lady Michelle Obama’s famous credo, “When they go low, we go high.”
“I like that. But I like better, ‘when they go low, we fight back,'” Lieu said in one.

Difference is Biden’s followers beat up people, burned down cities, shot Trumpsters and cops while Trump’s followers watched Antifa trash the Capitol.
Maryland has seven members of Congress. Six are Democrats. One is a highly competent patriot (that’s cause he’s a republican)
Of the six rats, Raskin stands out from the crowd as the biggest loser.
They stole the election. They stole the election. They stole the election.
Barry said, they bring a knife, we bring a gun.
Eff these hypocrites
We’ve got fighters. Leadership is embarassed by them. The solution is this: Leadership sets the ‘intellectual’ table. Make the listeners think first Then whack them with the Margerie Greens out there.
It’s standard boilerplate campaign rhetoric.
I would wager that every Congresscritter has used that phrase at one time or another.
Raskin is a sissy whiner.
I bet he’s never been in a good physical fight in his whole candyass lifetime.
This sham impeachment trial is setting the stage to justify turning the Federal Government on its own constituents ...
As part of Trump’s defense, Trump’s lawyers should use video of clips of the house managers complaining about Trump using “fight” with clips of the house managers (Ted Lieu and Jamie Raskin) using “fight” in political speeches.
Should be focusing on the “F” word, the fraud versus the violence at riots across the country or in WDC. It’s all about the damn fraud.
Yet still the doormat GOP Senate just won’t get up and walk out on this Stalinist show trial. They happily play their part in this bit of beltway theater.
Ted Lieu (R-Calif.)? Lieu is a Democrat
This crop of Democrats have never been to a football game.
Fight fight fight
Not only is he a Demoncrat he is a particularly odious example of that Satanic party.
Wish they would unearth tweets telling everyone they stole this election.. Is this the only place I can say this now?
It used to be a pretty routine comment in Little League coaching, too.
