Jim Jordan replied, "the president is frustrated." Sen. Lindsey Graham also echoed the president's remarks, calling the impeachment inquiry "a lynching in every sense."
A lynching in every sense... except what the actual meaning of lynching is.

Already feeling the self-inflicted damage from this statement and sending people out to retract. But there is no un-ringing this bell. People will remember this statement as a low point among low points.

I wonder how many Wiccans got all outraged when Democrats used the term "witch hunt" in regards to Hillary. Many, many women were murdered as witches you know. Even right here in America.

And it was perfectly fine to compare immigration detention centers to concentration camps and the holocaust.

Stop trying to use this racist language to try to incite violence and distract the American people from the real truth
Yeah. Like calling Trump Hitler and claiming he's running "concentration camps?"

Suck it up Liberals. Your false rhetoric can be thrown right back at ya.
Apparently it’s ok for them to make these references. Double standards.

Did people die in concentration camps due to lack of food, water and healthcare? Yes. Have people died at these American camps for the same reason? Yes.

Were people forced into demeaning and cruel practices in concentration camps? Yes. Were people forced into demeaning and cruel practices in American camps like drinking out of toilets? Yes.

Were people raped by guards at both places? Yes.



That comparison was deserved...

I wonder if we should be outraged about the comment on hanging yourself which would be suicide.

Certainly a phrase I'd like to see phased out. But not comparable to the estimated 4,000 - 5,0000 people brutally murdered in US by lynching.

Why bother though? The majority of Americans have already made up their mind about Trump and that he needs to go. His base isn't bothered by his inappropriateness and his lies. Who are they trying to fool?
