According to an October 4, 1998, Associated Press article that touted Nadler’s role as a top Clinton defender, the then-51 year-old congressman said:
...."I am the president’s defender in the sense that I haven’t seen anything yet that would rise, in my opinion, to the level of impeachable offense. …I wish we could get this over with quickly. … In pushing the process, in pushing the arguments of fairness and due process the Republicans so far have been running a lynch mob."....
Despite this, House Democrats have rushed to condemn Trump’s comparison of impeachment to lynching and demanded an apology.
Nadler also said in 1998 that impeachment “could be the most divisive thing in American politics since the Vietnam War.”
“You get a large segment of the American population saying ‘You’ve staged a coup d’etat, you overthrew the election unfairly.’ The other part of the American people say, ‘No, we didn’t,’” said Nadler.
He also warned Republicans against running a “partisan witchhunt.”
“So far it’s been done very wrong and very unfairly,” he said then.

Jerry (N), around 1998, what would have been wrong with that?
Its just a word but for the far left loons, EVERYTHING IS RACIST
Dems employ and adhere to the history of now. The only history is that which they create at the moment. Anything they said or did prior to that current moment is meaningless and can’t be used against them.
Nadler was sooo fat and heavy back then if he cross dressed his high heels would’ve struck oil
Democrats doing what they warned against in 1998. Its indeed a partisan lynching with a complete absence of fairness, impartiality and justice and which doesn’t even involve an impeachable offense.
Go figure.
It was democrats doing all the lynching.
Democrats were the old KKK.
Pork Pig, ya think?
Democrats always accuse others of what they themselves are doing or would do. It’s straight out of Saul Alinsky.
Nice find.....:-)
I hear ya...

Nadler on the impeachment, Dec. 1998

People have used the word ‘lynching’ and others for decades without it referencing anything to do with race.....but the Dems have their “call out” teams and ‘media” watching every word Trump says in order to turn voters against Trump.....and keep Trump in a state of frustration, they are deliberately attacking his ego and these are absolutely target attacks.
These are the “Political Correctness Freaks” who never abide by these standards ever.
Oh yes!
Good post!
