Michael T. van der Veen presented clips of
Madonna and
Johnny Depp to help make the case against convicting the former president, earning swift mockery on Twitter.
The defense attorney presented a montage of clips showing Democratic politicians and public figures condemning Trump often using proactive language such as, “I feel like punching him.”
Many of the clips focused on elected officials, such as Sen.
Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), promising voters that they would “fight” for them.
Other clips showed Democrats using stronger language, such as President
Joe Biden saying, “I wish we were in high school, I could take him behind the gym.”
