Turns Out, SO MANY Democrats Compared Clinton Impeachment to Lynching Too!
On Tuesday, President Trump took to twitter to call out Democrats for their impeachment political witch hunt. He said that the process was “without due process or fairness or any legal rights” and compared it to 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!

This word triggered so many liberals who spent the day in disbelief that someone could compare something as “trivial” as a Presidential impeachment to lynching, a very loaded term, especially for African Americans.
For Trump to invoke the word 'lynching' to describe his experience—as the most powerful man on the face of the planet—reinforces that he has no regard for the history of this country, and that he is very clearly a white supremacist. pic.twitter.com/8H4YW9wDMJ

However, many conservative sleuths ended up finding a treasure trove of cases where Democrats compared Bill Clinton’s impeachment and other Clinton family missteps to the exact same thing. Here is a sampling of the hypocrisy exposed on social media.
Joe Biden used it in a CNN interview:
Good job, everyone in the media, for spending the day hyperventilating over Trump’s use of “lynching” to describe impeachment.

A tiny bit of research would have led to this - Joe Biden saying the exact same thing on Clinton impeachment.
Nice work, all.

Speaking of CNN, they used it to describe the Benghazi hearings:
A quick search reveals that this lynching reference gets thrown around a lot. So the Left’s public indignation about it is mere pretense. Trump hasn’t used the term enough; he needs to use it more pic.twitter.com/6Ag1BYZu80

An industrious twitter user @alx created a thread where he exposed a huge number of 1990s Democrats who used the exact same wording. The hypocritical lefties include Jim McDermott, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Jerry Nadler, Danny Davis, and Gregory Meeks. He even has a second clip of Biden saying, ““We do everything but hang people for jaywalking,” when talking about a death penalty bill. Here is the thread:
