Donald Trump’s second Senate impeachment trial began Tuesday. And though he has been banned from Twitter, his allies and aides were frenetically active on the social media platform tweeting Trump-like responses as House managers made their initial arguments to impeach him.
Tweets from the “Trump War Room” account included one showing the Senate’s president pro tempore, Democrat Patrick Leahy, presiding over the trial and said, “Imagine having a ‘trial’ where the ‘judge’ had already voted to convict the defendant? That’s what happens in banana republics, third world dictatorships and now the United States Senate. SAD!”
Trump adviser Jason Miller also tweeted during the presentation by lead House manager Jamie Raskin about the constitutionality of the trial even though Trump is no longer the president, saying that “using Raskin’s argument, House Democrats could impeach George Washington.”
When House managers showed a video with footage of Trump supporters attacking the U.S. Capitol after he urged them to “fight like hell,” Miller retweeted a post from Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee showing a clip of Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters urging supporters in 2018 to confront members of the Trump administration.
“What Democrats didn’t show you today,” said Miller, who tweeted or retweeted posts more than 20 times during the House managers’ presentation.
