Former President Donald Trump’s impeachment attorney has a secret weapon planned for the Senate impeachment trial and Democrats are not going to like it.

Bruce Castor, who is heading the former president’s impeachment defense team, is going to use the Democrats own words, supporting protesters and rioters during the Summer, against them.

“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?” Laura Ingraham said to him when she interviewed him on her Fox News show “The Ingraham Angle” last week.

“I think you can count on that,” he said. “If my eyes look a little red to the viewers, it’s because I’ve been looking at a lot of video.”

“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,” the attorney said.

The House Democrats have accused the former president of inciting the riots that took place on the Capitol on January 6, but Castor says that the type of fiery language he used has become the norm in Washington politics.

“Many of them 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,” Castor said. “Certainly, there wasn’t, anyhow.”

“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,” he said. “You better be careful what you wish for.”

The attorney also said that he believes that holding an impeachment trial for a former president, who is now a private citizen, is unconstitutional.

“By the House impeachment resolution logic, they can go back and impeach Abraham Lincoln,” he said. “They could impeach Donald Trump if he was dead because he’s not in office.

“So they could go and erase him just like they were erasing his name off of the schools in San Francisco. Isn’t that where Nancy Pelosi is from? Right?”

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that he wants Congress to move on from the impeachment nonsense.

“I’m ready to end the impeachment trial because I think it’s blatantly unconstitutional,” he said on “Face the Nation.”

“As to Donald Trump, he is the most popular figure in the Republican Party. He had a consequential presidency. Jan. 6 was a very bad day for America, and he’ll get his share of blame in history,” he said.
