On Wednesday, Republicans dug up previous instances of impeachment managers from the House of Democrats and President Biden using the words “fight” or “fight like hell” – one of the main allegations against former President Donald Trump in his trial in the Senate.
Save America PAC’s “Trump War Room” tweeted a “FLASHBACK” screenshot of House Speaker Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Invoking the notion of combat to block Republican efforts to quickly replace the late Supreme Court judge US court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who followed her death in September.
“The Republican Party’s race to replace Justice Ginsburg is all about destroying the Affordable Care Act, women’s health and reproductive freedom and people’s voting and civil rights,” Raskin tweeted at the time.
“We must fight like hell to prevent this attack on health care and the Constitution.”
In another tweet revealed by the Trump War Room, Raskin urged: “This is our democracy – fight for it” in 2017, while calling for a probe in Trump’s supposed ties to Russia.
An interview from Atlantic magazine in 2019 featured Raskin saying of the Trump presidency: “Let’s hope for the best, be prepared for the worst and fight like hell for the Constitution”, Trump War Room tweeted.
And a 2017 article republished on its own website shows Raskin saying, “We need to wake up every day and fight like hell for liberal democracy, not just in Maryland, not just in the United States, but around the world.”
The Trump War Room also resurfaced two 2017 tweets in which House manager Ted Lieu (R-Calif.) Gave a violent twist to ex-first lady Michelle Obama’s famous creed: “When they go down, we go to The tall”.
“I like that. But I like it better, ‘when they fall, we fight’”, Lieu said in a.
House manager Joe Neguse (D-Colorado) was also revealed to have tweeted in 2018, that he was “truly humbled to have the support of such a fearless leader as we struggle to win back Congress” after his endorsement by then Sen. Kamala Harris, who is now vice president.
During Trump’s second impeachment trial, House managers repeatedly cited Trump’s use of “fighting” and “fighting like hell” while addressing his supporters just before the January 6 riot on the United States Capitol.
“President Trump used the word ‘fight’ or ‘fight’ 20 times, including telling the crowd that they needed to ‘fight like hell’ to save our democracy,” said US Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) In the afternoon. Wednesday.
Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee also tweeted a screengrab then candidate Biden discussing how his father climbed the stairs to break the news that his family had to move from Pennsylvania to Delaware so he could make a living.
“That’s why I spent my entire career fighting – and I will continue to fight – like hell so that no one ever has to do that walk again,” Biden tweeted in May.
In a sarcastic reference to the pending “incitement to insurrection” charge against Trump, @JudiciaryGOP added: “Incitement?”
Former Trump campaign spokesman and consultant Jason Miller also played on Twitter on Wednesday night, he would say that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) “is fighting like hell to figure out what to do, but I would be impeached”.
Leahy is presiding over the impeachment trial as president pro tempore of the Senate because Supreme Court President John Roberts “doesn’t want to do that,” said Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
