Trump condemned after comparing impeachment inquiry to ‘lynching’ in Twitter rant

republican just want witnesses to be able to tailor their stores to previous testimony, they are worried because they know this admin is guilty

the Senate will be the trial, tell the Senate you want to hear from every witness - this is the investigation process

did you not hear the Trump admin's confession? sure he tried to walk it back, but it's out there now

 

So he used the same figure of speech used by many before him.

 

Multiple representatives compared Clinton’s impeachment to a lynching, and several others condemned it as a Republican attempt to remove Clinton from office.

Democratic Illinois Rep. Danny K. Davis condemned the impeachment trial as “a lynching,” and former Democratic Rhode Island Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy called it “a political lynching.”

“I resent it tremendously,” Democratic House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, who is black, told The Washington Post. “... To compare the constitutional process to something like lynching is far beneath the office of president of the United States.”

 

This is where I am so far. Still have work to do. Alot of Democrat lynching references have been purged.
Joe Biden
"Even if the President should be impeached, history is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching..."


Rep. Danny K. Davis of Illinois

Former Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.)
said of the proceedings during an interview with the Baltimore Sun on Sept. 12, 1998, “This feels today like we’re taking a step down the road to becoming a political lynch mob.” But McDermott didn’t stop there. Instead he fully fleshed out the metaphor, adding, “Find the rope, find the tree and ask a bunch of questions later.”

I went to UVA Undergraduate, Masters Program, commuting from LYNCHburg on my PhD Program. The mayor who incited the violence was a professor at UVA. He's no longer mayor. There was never a reason for anyone at UVA to go downtown. So, if they did, they were looking for a fight. We know who they are. They are fascists who call themselves ANTIFA just like the thought police who call themselves liberals. Among the people protesting the ISIS-like destruction of a historical statue that no one at UVA had to ever see were bad eggs, but also people who revered history. People who knew that the way civilization evolves is by learning from history.

Thomas Jefferson owned slaves ,,, he struggled over what to do that wouldn't cause race riots. I've seen quotes from a black woman student who was spooked by TJ looking down from Monticello at HIS University. BTW, there were no women at UVA in 1969, my first year. There were women's schools 60 miles in every direction.

Robert E. Lee, who is quoted as hating slavery as early as 1856, was a great General who followed the state he loved.

I recommend you read Thomas Sowell's, Black Rednecks and White Liberals if you have a desire to open your narrow mind.

 

yep, they sure could, Trump could hold a press conference and let them all answer question to the public.... but he won't

 

It looks like every Democrat has used the term. There is no other term that fits what is being done to Trump better than lynching, it is the typical end of every witch hunt. In this case, it is an attempted lynching, the left will not succeed in this effort. Democrats would do better to concentrate on the election and win the Presidency in a constitutional manner if they can. If they can't, they should improve their agenda to attract more voters.

Well it’s OK because as before, they still think they own blacks.

 

Don’t worry, Schiff for brains will keep feeding you pablum.

 

The special prosecutor tagged Clinton for 11 criminal counts and the inquiry was bipartisan with full due process. IOW, not a lynching - just stupid.

Elections are the best way to remove politicians from office.

 

John Wilkes Booth and the CIA will differ from your opinion.

 

Lynch etymology anyone?

"Lynch's law"

The term "Lynch's Law" was used as early as 1782 by a prominent Virginian named Charles Lynch to describe his actions in suppressing a suspected Loyalist uprising in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War.

The suspects were given a summary trial at an informal court; sentences handed down included whipping, property seizure, coerced pledges of allegiance, and conscription into the military.

 

There is a law still written on the AZ books that says you could be lynched for denying any man a drink of water.

 

Booth's bullet went through Lincoln's brain and into the South's back.

Kennedy's assassination injected the very toxic LBJ into the White House.

For America and Americans elections are the best way to remove politicians from office.

 

Why do you imagine that this is necessary?

 

It meant a mob seizing an individual, being judge and jury and then
they hung them. A totally horrible act.
In today's world many people and Politicians use the word to mean being attacked by a group and accused of a crime without due process, such as Democrats used the word numerous times during the Clinton Impeachment,
It is used to describe attack, accusations of criminal conduct without being afforded due process and where "the group" acts as judge and jury.

Google Clinton Impeachment and use of word lynching.
