Breitbart ^ | 22 Oct 2019 | Penny Starr

A quick online search reveals the irony of the outrage from Democrats and Never Trumpers after President Donald Trump compared the ongoing political attacks against him as a lynching on Twitter.

Here are some examples from as far back as 1998 up to recent times when lynching was used to describe what Democrats thought was a partisan political attack:

An article published in the New York Times on December 19, 1998 during the impeachment of Bill Clinton:

Later, Representative Ike Skelton, Democrat of Missouri, said the Republicans wanted to “decapitate their Commander in Chief.” Representative Steven R. Rothman, a New Jersey Democrat, complained of a “Republican juggernaut, driven by the right wing.” Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, Democrat of Rhode Island, a nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, spoke of “a political lynching,” and Representative Danny K. Davis, an Illinois Democrat, denounced what he described as “a lynching.”

Do they think it’s okay to lynch the POTUS? Sure looks that way.

Democrats have been lynching since Reconstruction.
Negroes, Republicans... whomever, it’s in their blood.

The anger of the media is to protect the Dems from their past.

there have been several wackadoodle ‘activists’ charged with lynching in California. Under the penal code, lynching (an officer) is, by mob action or inciting of riot, forcefully taking or trying to take someone from legal custody or unlawfully interfering in the legal duties of said officer in detaining said someone.

So even under Cal law, it would seem an accurate statement to say that Trump is being politically lynched.

Remember when the jpg illustration going around during the McCain/Palin campaign of Sarah in a noose. How about the images of Trump’s decapitation.

The Stupid Party should throw those in the democrat faces.
