following the armed siege in lansing, president trump refused to condemn the attacks on the michiganal or denounce the violent lawbreakers. instead he did just the opposite. he upheld the righteousness of his violent followers' cause, and he put pressure on the victim of the attack to listen to his supporters. the day after the mob attack in lansing, trump told governor whitmer to negotiate with the extremists, tweeting that the governor should just, quote, give a little to the violent men who had stormed the capital, threatening not only the stability of the michigan government, but her own life. as you can see, he tweeted, the governor of michigan should give a little and put out the fire. these are very good people, but they are angry. they want their lives back again safely. see them, talk to them, make a deal. the president says heavily armed extremists carrying confederate battle flags and pushing past police to overtake the michigan state house chamber are very good people and just negotiate with them. it's clear he doesn't think that they're at fault in any way at all. but ap

we saw what happened in lansing, michigan, with extremist mob he cultivated which led to two shocking capitol sieges and criminal conspiracy by extremists to kidnap and likely assassinate government whitmer. we saw him try to get state legislatures to disavow and overthrow their popular election results and replace them with trump electors. we showed you the process of summoning the mob, reaching out, urging people to come to washington for a wild time, as we celebrate presidents' day on and mod, think, imagine, is there another president in our history who would urge supporters in washington to come to washington for a wild time? you saw how he embraced violent extremist elements like the proud boys, who were told in a nationally presidential candidate debate to stand back and stand by, which became their official slogan as they converged on washington with other extremists and seditious groups and competed to be the lead stormtroopers in the attack on this building. you saw the assembly of the mob january 6 and how beautiful that angry mob must have looked to donald trump as he peer

he did it again on object 27th during a preelection rally speech in lansing, michigan. e, where the capitol had been stormed. trump openly joked with the crowd about critics saying his words had provoked the violent plot against governor whitmer. check it out. it's telling. >> we got to get her -- i don't think she likes me too much. >> lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! >> see, i don't comment on that because every time, if i make just even a little bit of a nod, they say the president led them -- i don't have to lead you on. even a little nod, they say the president said your governor, at the urging of her husband, who as abused our system very badly, the only man allowed in the state of michigan, the only man allowed to go sailing is her husband. no. your governor, i don't think she likes me too much. hey, hey, hey. i'm the one. it was our people that helped her out with her problem. my people, our people that helped her out. >> so president trump offered them a little wink

remember lansing, michigan. they didn't mention that, of course. remember the mega 2 march. the maga 2 rally. they didn't mention that. violence all over the rallies, the president cheering it on, delighting in it, reveling in it, exulting in it. how gullible do you think we are? we saw this happen. we just spent 11 or 12 hours looking at all that. >> the -- >> and intent to encourage -- >> time is expired. >> thank you. >> counsel for the former president has two and a half minutes. >> senator cruz, i believe the first part of your question refers to the newly created raskin doctrine on first amendment, and he just, in his answer, actually gave you a new one. appropriateness. the standard that this body needs to follow for law is brandonberg v. ohio and the test, really, the three-part test really comes out of bible believers versus wayne county, to be specific. the speech has to be explicitly or implicitly encouraged. the use of violence, in other words, it has to be in the words itself, which is clearly it's not in the words itself. that's step one. they don't get past it

following the armed siege in lansing, president trump refused to condemn the attacks on the michiganrs. instead, he didjust the opposite. he upheld the righteousness of his violent followers' cause, and he put pressure on the victim of the attack to listen to his supporters. in conclusion, the house managers said the former president's responsibility for what unfolded january 6 was undeniable. the statements, the videos, the affidavits proved beyond doubt, said joe neguse, that president trump incited an insurrection that he alone had the power to stop. we humbly, humbly ask you to convict president trump for the crime for which he is overwhelmingly guilty of. because if you don't, if we pretend this didn't happen, or worse, if we let it go unanswered, who's to say it won't happen again? on day four, donald trump's legal team took over, and it took them just three hours to present their case. again, arguing it was unconstitutional to impeach a president no longer in office. in his opening remarks, michael van der veen called the proceedings a "politically motivated witch—hunt". how c
