Impeachment trial takes - Thread.
This video from don the con’s lawyers is a pathetic attempt, a false equivalency. Big difference: OUR people didn’t take the word “fight” literally after speeches. OUR ppl didn’t storm the Capitol & have an insurrection. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry
You #GOPCowards think none of us citizens have been watching this thing. We have. In fact, we’ve been watching for years - closely. We understand your gaslighting & projection games. We don’t fall for it. #ImpeachmentTrial2
Welp, my impeachment bingo board is already full. Just an hour in to Don the Con’s legal team’s propaganda.
1:15 pm: From 45’s legal team so far, we’ve heard baseless character attacks (bc that’s all they’ve got), 3 different lawyers, uncontrolled angry speech, stale GOP buzzwords & about a 3-hour long propaganda video of democrats using the word “fight.” #ComplicitGOP
“This is not whataboutism.” - Michael T. Van der Veen, defense atty for former President Trump
REMEMBER: @LindseyGrahamSC@SenTedCruz & @SenMikeLee - who are all JURORS in this impeachment trial - met w/Don the Con’s defense attys last night to strategize.
If any of them are your state reps, FLOOD THEIR PHONES. Make sure they know u r paying attn.
Then shows 3-hour long montage of elected Dems using the word “fight” in various speeches & contexts, after which, 0 democrat citizens stormed the Capitol & created an insurrection.
“If it is not about the words but about the big lie of a stolen election, then why isn’t house manager Raskin guilty since he tried to overturn the 2016 election?” van der Veen
"No thinking person could seriously believe that speech was in any way an incitement to violence or insurrection... Nothing in the text could remotely be construed as encouraging, condoning or enticing unlawful activity of any kind."- van der Veen
Why is it that NONE of these GOP Cowards know how to properly pronounce the 1st name of our Vice President? It’s not “ka-MALL-ah.” It’s “KAHMA-lah.” You pronounce it like the word ‘comma,’ with “lah” on the end. Oh wait. I know why. Because this is their way of inserting racism.

I know no one’s surprised, but we need to call it out anyway. Today the Republican Party sealed their legacy w/Trumpism. They’re now & forever the party of racism, white supremacy, neo-nazism, domestic terrorism, conspiracy theorists & fact deniers. They own this. #GOPCowards
