Trump's defense team will show clips of Democrats urging violence in 2020
The Washington Times ^ | February 6, 2021 | Alex Swoyer

Former President Donald Trump‘s defense at his Senate impeachment trial next week will include videos of Democrats encouraging violence, one of his lawyers said Friday.

The clips would counter videos that Democrats likely will show of the riot at Capitol and Mr. Trump‘s fiery speech at a rally shortly before the attack on Jan. 6, which Mr. Trump stands accused of inciting.

Trump lawyer Bruce Castor told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham “you can count on that” when asked about using video montage of Democratic members of Congress calling for violence against Trump administration officials and law enforcement.

Why pretend he did anything wrong? That is a terrible defense, he did nothing wrong with his speech. ARGUE THE FRAUD!

Unfortunately that doesn’t work in court.

It’s like when I showed video of the cop that stopped me to the judge. 5 minutes if this cop breaking laws.

It doesn’t work. The Democrats mentioned aren’t on trial.

And show the violence, including people being killed.

It won’t make any difference to the Senators, who will vote purely for political reasons.

“in court.”

Roberts won’t even be there. Let’s stop pretending this will be a real court proceeding.

It's a trial, but it's also a political exercise.

Of course, politics itself is now a joke because of voter fraud.

It is not his entire defense, but I think it is important to do this. It demonstrates the obvious double standard. Their comments pale in comparison to anything Trump said. He did NOT call for violence. Many of them did call for violence when protestors were at the gates of the White House (and lit the church on fire).

I even think they should show the declarations about using National Guard to secure the White House compared with what we see now.

I like this. I also agree that they should argue the fraud, but read their articles of impeachment. This comparison goes directly to the accusation.

True but it's almost certain he won't be convicted anyways. This whole thing is a perversion of the impeachment clause and is just playing political games. Trump's just playing their game.

That's my take too. Never tell the opposition your defense.

Ask the Democrats for the name of the man who shot Ashli Babbitt and why he isn’t on trial.

In the normal world, yes...

BUT

We are dealing with “BOY, just wait till day after tomorrow, have I got a story for you” scenario, just a real life follow up to

There’s a video that goes with these below, but I can’t find it. Wonder why??

These Democrats (below) are the enemies to the American people who are leading the impeachment witch hunt against President Trump. AGAIN! They will be held accountable.

When will Democrats denounce the BLM/Antifa violence they inspired?

You get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them are not welcome here. - Rep Maxine Waters

Show me where it says protestors are supposed to be polite and peaceful? - Chris Cuomo

They’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everyone beware because before Election Day. - Senator Kamala Harris

I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi

They’ll show up. There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. Rep Ayanna Pressley

Fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets. – Sen. Tim Kaine

Punch some people in the face - Hollywood Actor David Harbour

People do want to see us be stronger and more forceful and to confront them on these policies. - Maxine Waters

If we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. - Hillary Clinton

This is the Democrat Party

Couldn’t agree more. Who knows? A handful of the more dense populace might have the hypocrisy of all this driven into their dense skulls at last
