'If you continue to weaponize racism and bigotry, this makes you no better than those who were screaming 'blood and soil',' said Democratic Representative Al Green.

"How dare he do this? Does he not know the history of lynching in this country? Does he not know that thousands of African-Americans were lynched?" he asked."Does he not know this is the equivalent of murder? How dare the president compare Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution, a lawful constitutional process, to mob violence and lynching?"

"Do you not understand what you're doing to this country?" the Texas Democrat asked."And, more importantly, do we, the members of this Congress, not understand how he is denigrating... decency in this country?" The representative's speech came after Trump sparked outrage across the country with a tweet railing against the impeachment inquiry on Twitter and demanding that all Republicans"remember what they are witnessing here—a lynching."

Senate Majority Whip John Thune told The Hill it was"inappropriate" for Trump to compare the House impeachment inquiry to lynching, asserting that his comments were"not appropriate in any context."

Now do joe Biden

Apparently, Dems used same term when Clinton impeached but wasn't as great an outrage. Sometimes we use figures of speech but not meant as was taken. Still poor use of words because it can't remotely compare!

And it doesn’t make his supporters no better too. Even when Trump is gone half of the USA is like this ...no way better than the Nazis and the KKK
