Ro Khanna is once again reaching for the most inflammatory historical imagery in the progressive playbook, framing a series of recent hangings of black individuals — several already ruled suicides by local authorities — as potential modern-day echoes of Jim Crow lynchings that demand urgent national investigation.
When the race-baiting narrative needs a boost, official findings apparently take a back seat to charged rhetoric about “Black bodies hanging from trees.”
Black bodies hanging from trees have a very specific and brutal meaning in American history. The recent unexplained deaths must be thoroughly investigated. pic.twitter.com/ijtWietxs2

After spending days getting dragged for being ridiculously stupid about the wealth tax, it seems Khanna is trying to change the subject by being even dumber.

The others were suicides.
Not unexplained.
Where are you even going with this? https://t.co/XKvxNMrEP8
We know what he's trying to do here, besides give Democrats something to pretend to care about ... he's implying that under Trump, lynchings have made a comeback because the country is so racist and violent under him.
Pathetic, right?
