Referring to the Thompson killing, Frankel added, "You can be up in arms about the healthcare industry, but you can’t threaten or actually hurt members of the healthcare industry.
Ironic to use that phrase 🤔
The original usage of ‘up in arms’ was entirely literal. To be ‘in arms’ or ‘at arms’ was to be equipped with weapons and armour.
Modern usage still defines it as preparing for a fight, Frankel.
