The 14th Amendment disqualification trial against former President Donald Trump continued Tuesday in Colorado, where a group of voters are trying to keep him off the 2024 ballot based on the Constitution’s post-Civil War “insurrectionist ban.”
An expert on right-wing extremism dissected Trump’s history of fomenting unrest and testified that Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, was unmistakably interpreted by his most militant supporters as “a call to violence.” This is a key part of the challengers’ argument that Trump “engaged” in the insurrection and is therefore ineligible for office. The battle over Trump’s spot on the ballot has heated up.
” Democrats also wanted to ‘fight’ Trump lawyer Scott Gessler pushed back against Simi during cross-examination, pointing out that Democrats used some of the same incendiary language as Trump. He played a montage of Democrats saying they would “fight” or “fight like hell.” He also zeroed in on a 2018 remark by President Joe Biden, where he said he wished he could “take behind the gym and beat the hell out of him” like they were in high school.
