It must hurt when even your own team starts laughing at you.
Senators were 'openly laughing' at Trump lawyers' fight video: reporter

During Donald Trump's impeachment trial this Friday, his defense played a video montage of various Democratic politicians using the word "fight" in their rhetoric over the past few years. The video was widely panned as being a desperate attempt to equate Trump's inflammatory rhetoric in the lead-up to the Capitol attack to that of Democrats, who were clearly using the word "fight" in the metaphorical sense in the defense's video.
According to White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, both Democrats and Republicans had a hard time taking the video seriously.
"Out of the Senate chamber and my goodness that was something to witness. Senators (Dems and GOP) were louder than I have ever heard them -- talking and at times openly laughing -- during that long video played by David Schoen of Democrats, reporters & commentators saying 'fight,'" she tweeted.
Even Republican Tom Cotton of Arkansas apparently had a hard time keeping a straight face.
