David Schoen just said Democrats don't have to show "movies" to prove that the Capitol Siege happened there at the Capitol. Reminder: The videos shown by Democrats were not works of fiction or movies. They were video of a real attack that happened last month. — PolitiTweet.org

David Schoen is arguing that this entire trial is "unconstitutional" and "wrong" and that Democrats are holding this trial because they are still mad about 2016. Note: Democrats are arguing that they are still mad about what happened a month and three days ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Can't help but wonder what former Pres Trump is thinking as his attorney Bruce Castor presents this long winded defense. Castor seems to be implying senators who are "patriots" won't be swayed by emotion and will have to answer to their voters. Maybe that's what he's saying? — PolitiTweet.org

We just saw an emotional and constitutional argument laid out by Democrats. Now, President Trump’s legal defense will turn that emotion against Democrats and argue that they are simply looking for someone to pay and blame for the actions of the mob of Trump supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepRaskin got visibly emotional as he said he told his daughter the day of the Capitol siege that it wouldn't be like this the next time she visited the Capitol. Her response, "Dad, I don't want to come back to the Capitol." Just heartbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org
