2:31Now PlayingHouse managers have said Trump incited the attack on the Capitol with his call at a rally beforehand for followers to “fight like hell” and his repeated references to “fight” and “fighting.”
Trump’s lawyers had an answer: It’s just an expression. They showed a video of prominent Democrats calling for a “fight” or “fighting” scores of times.
Lawyer David Schoen also cited “the hatred, the vitriol, the political opportunism that has brought us here today.” He blamed the impeachment on “hatred, animosity, division, political gain – and let’s face it, for House Democrats, President Trump is the best enemy to attack.”
