If This Were An Actual Lynching Mr. President, You’d Know It!

This is one of the cheapest shots to play to his base and deflect from the real trouble that he finds himself in…but here it is:

“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,” Trump tweeted. “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here — a lynching.

emphasis mine

This wasn’t a misstep by the president…this was an intentional statement to once again pose as a victim…a victim of one of the most heinous periods in American history. Why he can’t move away from the racist dog whistles is becoming more and more problematic.

And if this were an actual lynching, the president would certainly understand the difference.

Impeachment it is! But the House a round! (or is that a quid pro quo?)
