Republicans on Wednesday dug up past instances of Democratic House impeachment managers and President Biden using the words “fight” or “fight like hell” — one of the key allegations against former President Donald Trump at his Senate trial.
The Save America PAC’s “Trump War Room” tweeted a “FLASHBACK” screenshot of lead House manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) invoking the notion of combat to block Republican efforts to swiftly replace the late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her death in September.
“The GOP rush to replace Justice Ginsburg is all about destroying the Affordable Care Act, women’s health care and reproductive freedom, and the voting rights and civil rights of the people,” Raskin tweeted at the time.
“We must fight like hell to stop this assault on health care and the Constitution.”
In another tweet unearthed by the Trump War Room, Raskin exhorted, “This is our Democracy–fight for it” in 2017 while calling for a probe into Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.

What a stupid article. You cannot take a statement like this without its context. That’s what the trial is all about. Contact area fighting in terms of legislature is one thing. Fighting said to a mob that’s frothing at the mouth is another thing altogether.
Totally the same!
Then remember when his supporters listened and ransacked the capitol trying to hang the Vice President?
Oh wait, that never happened
Still similar though because ?
reasons
Trumps behavior is no way equivalent to what they said. Did they speak to people with stun guns dressed in fatigues. 6 months feeding his followers who trump himself said would still love him if he shot someone on fifth avenue. You have abandoned good judgement that has been so central to what it is to be jewish. You are embarrasing yourselves. A dr. Who smokes can’t advise his patients not to smoke, because he is a hypocrite. Want to pit biden on trial fine but now trump is on trial and I don’t think hypocrisy is a defense.
Scott jennings (former mcconell staffer on cnn) if the vote was secret it would be 90 to 10 to convict.
Biden is a uniter.
