Are going to see every instance of any Democrat using
the word “fight”?

I do not think anyone listening to Elizabeth Warren
say “fight” took her to mean “go beat someone up.”

I think they missed a use of the word “fight” by Jimmy
Carter in a 1975 campaign speech.

OK, you’ve made the point that it’s possible to use
“fight” in a metaphoric sense. Question is whether, in context, Trump called
for fighting in the physical sense.

Right, Adam, and again, Trump has a history knowing
his supporters were taking his words literally in this regard.

Can you imagine being on Trump’s impeachment team and
seeing the Dem’s powerful video mash-ups – and then think, “Yeh, but wait till
they get a load of our ‘fight’ montage.”

Trump’s
legal team has played another video. The video, like one earlier, shows a
number of Democrats using the word “fight” during political interviews and at
rallies.
A key difference is that none of the Democrats used
the word fight as they amped up their supporters then urged them to march to
the US Capitol, where the result of a presidential election was about to be
formalized.
The
Trump legal case so far seems to be: a) Democrats rushed the impeachment
hearing, which seems irrelevant, b) the impeachment is unconstitutional, which
is wrong, and c) some Democrats have used the word sometimes used the word
“fight”, but – as far as I can tell – none of them ever used the word in the
same volatile circumstances Trump faced on January 6.

More video
from Trump’s legal team, as the defense ticks past the one hour mark.
This video
shows clips from Black Lives Matter protests over the summer. It’s another
attempt to compare protests against racism to a bunch of Trump supporters
smashing their way into the US Capitol and threatening to kill politicians.

Just after
Schoen accused Managers of "manipulating" evidence because they took
excerpts of videos, he shows a lengthy video of numerous, extremely spliced
video clips without any context for the comments.
