Ted Cruz (R-Texas), President Trump\u2019s impeachment defense will make it clear that House Democrats did not prove he incited violence on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Near the Senate chamber on Thursday, Cruz along with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) met with the Trump legal team to strategize opening arguments for Friday\u2019s impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The &#8216;Not Guilty&#8217; vote is growing after today.<\/p>\n<p>I think most Republicans found the presentation by the House Managers offensive and absurd.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LindseyGrahamSC\/status\/1359695883906998277?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After the meeting, Cruz pointed out that if words such as \u201cfight\u201d and \u201cwin\u201d now satisfy the legal standard for incitement then every political candidate in the country could be prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNancy Pelosi called police officers Nazis\u2026Kamala Harris, our vice president, raised bail money for violent rioters who had committed acts of violence,\u201d stated the senator. \u201cThere\u2019s no coherent way the the conduct of Schumer and Pelosi and Kamala Harris doesn\u2019t meet that standard as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz added, the impeachment trial is the result of Democrat hatred of President Trump and will end with an acquittal.
