As Twitchy reported earlier, there’s plenty of video of Democrats referring to President Bill Clinton’s impeachment as a lynching and Republicans as a lynch mob.
Caleb Hull found these two tweets from today very telling:

Here they are individually:
Impeachment is not "lynching," it is part of our Constitution. Our country has a dark, shameful history with lynching, and to even think about making this comparison is abhorrent. It's despicable. https://t.co/QcC25vhNeb

New: Joe Biden said in 1998 that Clinton impeachment could be seen as 'partisan lynching' @natemcdermott @KFILE report https://t.co/Ce5Gw0XzAn

And here’s video of Biden saying that Clinton’s impeachment could be seen as a partisan lynching:
Joe Biden has to explain what changed.
FLASHBACKJoe Biden in 1998:
"Even if the President should be impeached, history is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching…"

Joe, everything you’ve said publicly is on audio & video tape … stop and think before you speak … hypocrite

But you said it was…therefore, you are abhorrent. And despicable. pic.twitter.com/SSClXyarVU

Your tweet did not age well, Joe Biden.

Let's go back to the Clinton impeachment, Nadler called it a lynching. There is so much hypocrisy here it's ridiculous.

Love the Faux Outrage Joe….

Not surprising that you would pretend outrage over a metaphor, Joe. Do you even know what a metaphor is?

Where was the outrage?
I don't think lynching is the word to use, but I do think it's fair to point out that outrage is situational.

@cnn has also used the phrase.

It is probably time to make an official rule that no white people should call anything relating to any white people a lynching.

We’re good with that — and add a rule that the word lynching should never be used to describe what happened to Jusse Smollett.
