While the president promised to defend Louisiana citizens' right to bear arms during his Thursday rally, the president made no mention of the Thursday school shooting which killed two.
Guns and the Second Amendment made up a small part of Thursday's rally. The impeachment hearings came up frequently, perhaps understandably, as this was the first rally since the hearings started. Trump said the hearings were an attempt at erasing the votes of"10 million Americans."
He also referred to Wednesday's witnesses Bill Taylor and George Kent as"never Trumpers," in spite of the fact that both men testified under oath that they were not. Trump also referenced an article in the far-right, Ben Shapiro-run political website The Daily Wire, which declared that new remarks from a Ukrainian official have damaged the impeachment case.
"We did nothing wrong and they're doing nothing—they haven't done a thing since Nancy Pelosi was speaker," Trump said, adding that the relationship between the media and the Democratic party was"a partnership made in Hell." Though Trump said the impeachment hearings were"taking a toll" on his family, he claimed the impeachment proceedings have been wonderful for the poll numbers of unnamed Republican colleagues, and that his advisers have"begged" him to keep them going. Trump also had words of praise for Republicans, thanking them for sticking together during the proceedings.The president concluded by saying that the country would be"demolished" if the Democrats won in 2020.
