WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers turned the tables on House impeachment managers on Friday, trolling them with footage of Democrats over and over vowing to “fight” or “fight back” against Trump and Republicans to highlight their alleged “hypocrisy.”
Impeachment managers used a series of CCTV videos of the Jan. 6 riot to show just how close pro-Trump marauders came to lawmakers and clips of Trump’s speeches to allege he had a history of encouraging violence.
But the former president’s counsel came right back at them during their first day of arguments on Friday, accusing them of selectively quoting the former president.
One lengthy video featured Vice President Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and countless other Democrats using the word “fight.” The video also featured most of the Democratic impeachment managers who are prosecuting the case that Trump incited the violent insurrection.
Once the video finished, lawyer David Schoen pointed at both the senators and the impeachment managers and told them to “stop the hypocrisy.”

Acknowledging that current political rhetoric had gone too far, the former president’s legal team also played a brutal montage showing leading Democrats, liberal TV network anchors and celebrities vowing to “blow up the White House” or “put a bullet” in Trump’s head.
“If I were in high school, I would take him behind the gym and punch the hell out of him,” then-nominee Joe Biden said of Trump in several clips from the campaign trail.
In another video, Harris can be seen giggling with TV host Ellen DeGeneres as they joke about her killing Trump or predecessor Mike Pence if they were put in the same elevator.
In another minutes-long montage, dozens of Democratic senators are seen telling their supporters to “fight” ad nauseam.

WTF?? CANT BELIEVE.. NBC showed this.. PROPS..
NBC is only pursuing its pro-DNC agenda. They know this farce of a Chimpeachment will backfire badly on the Rats, and are encouraging them to back off before they really overreach.
Just when Trump’s guy gets going, Leahy calls for a 15 minute break. The dems are a bunch of losers.
Spineless wimpy RINO’s unperturbed.
I like Obama’s knife fight....we’ll bring a gun...
How ‘bout odumbo telling his minions to take a knife to a fist fight and a gun to a knife fight?
Yeah, but right now the ‘House Managers’ (and with the connivance of Collins and Romney) are saying those clips are lies; are saying Trump sent his armed thugs to assassinate Pence, Pelosy, and all the black and jewish members of Congress. I paraphrase, for dramatic effect, but that is the gist of what they infer.
The dems are so evil and out of control that you can push their faces in their own shit and they still don’t get it.
Its OK, our future is Nikki Haley. LOL
They get it. That’s why they called a recess.
You cannot incite that which was already been planned.
My ex-wife tried that in the divorce proceedings, claiming that my words had "incited" her to marry me, even though the wedding had been 6 months in the planning.
Thats your fault ...you sly silver tongued devil!
The best was the proof that Swall-O-Well’s Twitter document was a total fake fabrication.
The date on the document was from a year ago.... what sloppy forgeries...
It’s sad that they’re up there having this circus while the country is in flames.
He also added in a blue check verfication mark to the user id where there wasn’t one. Scumbag.
Divorce brings out the crazies...
Lisa Murkowski and Bill Cassidy look a little silly now for thinking the Democrats in the House had such a “damning” and “persuasive” case as grounds for impeachment. I can’t speak for the other turncoat Republicans in the Senate (and the House, for that matter), but I suspect a great deal of intimidation went on behind the scenes.
Once upon a time there was a term, “logrolling”, which was meant to explain the mutual backscratching and handshake deals that went on in the lobbies of Congress, but today that is simply reduced to “rolling”, as a mugging victim might be.
And this Mafioso-like behavior is not merely directed at the elected officials of the legislative branch, by any means. It is all up and down the DC environment.
.... Too bad they didn’t bother to add a few clips of Biden using that term .....
