Trump’s lead impeachment attorney said Friday he’ll call out Democrats for “inflammatory rhetoric” during last summer’s racial justice movement.
Former President Donald Trump’s lead impeachment attorney Bruce Castor said Friday that he intends to use video footage to call out Democrats for “inflammatory rhetoric” during the impeachment trial next week. Speaking on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, Castor said that he’ll be using video content to show Democrats “cheered on” protesters during last summer’s racial justice movement, in response to accusations that Trump incited the violent riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. “There’s a lot of tape of cities burning and courthouses being attacked and federal agents being assaulted by rioters in the streets, cheered on by Democrats throughout the country,” he said. The attorney went on to say that “many [Democrats] in Washington are using really the most inflammatory rhetoric possible to use. And certainly there would be no suggestion that they did anything to incite any of the actions.” “But here, when you have the president of the United States give a speech and says that you should peacefully make your thinking known to the people in Congress, he’s all of a sudden a villain.
