My first reaction was that his best defense would be to claim he was just acting out of extreme love for the country and was brainwashed — not be fringe groups - but mainstream politicians on the left. How many times did Kamala call the Republicans fascists during the campaign? How many encouragements to violence from elected leaders around the country.
I’m not a lawyer, but that seems like a best-efforts defense.— “I did it because I political leaders and representatives who are there to lead me and form my civic mind convinced me that CK was a fascist, imminent threat to our country as they claimed him to be over and over.”
Well his lawyer will come up with some emotional excuse I’m sure.
