Former Pennsylvania district attorney, Bruce Castor will be defending former President Donald J. Trump during the upcoming impeachment trials.
Friday Castor suggested he would take aim at Democrats’ own words in his arguments. Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Castor if he’d ‘be using a dueling videos’ with Democrats to support the defense that Trump did not incite the Jan. 6 Capitol break in.
Democrat Senators have already showed their hand that they would be using video evidence that the former president incited an insurrection and encouraged violence against Congress members.
While still playing strategy close to the vest, Castor did say that he would be using the words and behaviors of the representatives against them, and feels confident that this will bring many ongoing issues to light.
“Will you then respond with Maxine Waters, a number of other Democrat officials not speaking out about the Antifa and other extremist rallies over the last summer?” Ingraham pushed.
“I think you can count on that,” Castor said. “If my eyes look a little red to the viewers, it’s because I’ve been looking at a lot of video.”
Earlier in the segment with Ingraham, Castor alleged “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,” seemingly referring to ongoing unrest in Portland, Ore.
These actions and irresponsible rhetoric by Democratic leaders have been called out by many on the right as the catalytic behaviors which continued to deepen the divide between the aisles.
Throughout President Trump’s term, the media allegedly showed bias and began the long stratagem of convincing each political ‘team’ the other was radicalized while simultaneously downplaying Trump’s popularity.
The seemingly apparent hypocrisy disenfranchised thousands of voters and conservatives while radicalizing the left into believing conservatives and republicans, in general, were dangerous and just outright crazy. Even leading some to suggest that Republicans need to be sent to re-education camps.
The leadership has only encouraged this style of vicious character attack and discourse. On Wednesday, House Speaker Pelosi even suggested live during a conference that she doubts the ability for Republican leaders to even think.
PELOSI, speaking with @JoyAnnReid, says it "remains to be seen" if any GOP members of Congress abetted insurrectionists.
But if they did, they're "accessories" to the crimes committeed at the Capitol, incuding to murder, she says.

After Democratic leadership suggested they would bring in witnesses to bear testimony, Sen Lindsay Graham warned that should that come to pass, the FBI reports, tesitmony and video footage would be brought in, opening ‘Pandora’s Box’.
Open Pandora's Box. Do it. Bring in the FBI, and prosecute everyone that participated in the insurrection. Leave no stone unturned. @LindseyGrahamSC https://t.co/iTT2AjsQGH

The impeachment trial is set to begin Tuesday, February 9. It seems that it will be a highly interesting fight for partisan truth over narrative on both sides.
