“Fight Like Hell” Is Common Political Rhetoric

WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump’s lawyers are arguing that his words to his supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol – to “fight like hell” – are common political rhetoric, using a video montage to show almost every single Senate Democrat using the word “fight” in political speeches. The lengthy video featured Vice President Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and countless other Democrats using the word “fight,” without context. It also featured most of the Democratic impeachment managers who are prosecuting the case against Trump. Once the video finished, lawyer David Schoen pointed at both the senators and the impeachment managers and told them to “stop the hypocrisy.”
