President Donald Trump is being slammed today by Democrats — the same people who called migrant detention facilities concentration camps —for calling the impeachment effort against him a “lynching.”
So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching. But we will WIN!

Plenty chided the president for bringing up a painful period in U.S. history, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even used the tweet to promote her Commission on Reparations.
We know we’ve heard the word “lynching” before — both 2020 candidates Kamala Harris and Cory Booker called Jussie Smollet’s “assault” a modern-day lynching.
But the Daily Caller has noted that the word had been used quite a bit during President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial; have a look:
This may come as a shock to you but every Democrat outraged that President Trump is comparing his impeachment to a "lynching" also called the Clinton impeachment a "lynching"

Selective memory and outrage is the new normal.

They’re the only ones allowed to say the word. Such hypocrites.

Analogies and metaphors are a one-way street for Democrats.

@AOC I’ll wait for your outrage about this…..

If it wasn’t for double standards, the Democrat party wouldn’t have any standards at all.

The #hypocrisy is mind boggling

Democrats don't like us reminding everyone it is always them doing the lynching
— Tea Party Individual (@TPrtyIndividual) October 22, 2019
Nadler also used the word lynching with respect to Clinton's impeachment but no one seems to care. The media only cares if Trump uses the word lynching. Hypocrisy at its highest level. Anything to trash our President.

The difference between then and now is that when Democrats say it, it’s ok.

That guy was wrong for saying it then, just like Trump is wrong for saying it now. Why would I condemn one without the other? How about just no lynching comparisons?

Fine with us.
