Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday denounced President Donald Trump's comparison of the ongoing impeachment inquiry to a"lynching," but in a 1998 interview, the then-senator from Delaware also invoked the term in reference to impeachment.
"Impeachment is not 'lynching,' it is part of our Constitution," the former vice president said in a tweet on Tuesday."Our country has a dark, shameful history with lynching, and to even think about making this comparison is abhorrent. It's despicable."In an appearance on CNN in October 1998, however, Biden said the impending impeachment proceedings against then-President Bill Clinton could be viewed as a"partisan lynching.
Whoa, not good Biden. Disappointed but I'm still VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020 at least Biden apologized for something he said in the early 90's
Say anything to lose.
This is getting dumber and dumber. Why is he apologizing?
Holy crap the Democrats are such hypocrites. 🤣🤣🤣
If hypocrisy were an Olympic sport, we should send everyone in Washington and they will come home dripping in gold.
Trump is playing Dems like a drum. He saw the video of Biden. He intentionally used the word knowing the Libs would lose their minds. Then boom. Release the video. Dems can’t keep up with Trump’s strategy. And it makes them so mad. 😂😂. timesup QuidProJoe
I guess he didn’t know any better , he was only 55 and unwoke........Thabks CNN for blowing this narrative way out of proportion.
People of all races have been lynched (hanged) but the left is so disgusted by the term lynch because or the implications for one group of people. These same leftists have no problem throwing around the word Hitler, Nazi, concentration camps on a daily basis.
Oh jeez. Who showed Trump that video?! That's the ONLY reason he used that word, and we all know it now.
Too late Joe. We’ve already concluded that you haven’t any integrity, and that you are an hypocrite.
This was all calculated by Trump. Just to show his supporters (again) that the Dems are complete hypocrites.
So y’all gonna continue to feign outrage today? So far I’m not seeing it.
But America, Biden said to it... Hopefully we can also find footage of a younger Biden jumping off a cliff!
I have to agree with biting on this one cuz it did seem like a republican-led hanging to me they did everything they could to make sure he got impeached they were against Bill ever since he got in office. All the Republicans wanted then was a beating post and they got one
Looks more and more like the choice in 2020 will either be Trump Or a Marxist
Yet you don’t blare it all over your broadcast because Biden told you not to
cnn npr ap reuters NBCnews realdonaldtrump nytimes JoeBiden HYPOCRISY! Regarding Clinton impeachment: RepGregoryMeeks called it 'political lynching;' RepDannyDavis condemned it as a 'lynching in the People's House;' & JerryNadler:'Repubs have been running a lynch mob'
Uhh, now I get it. Next ... ?
Oh, here we go
Let me get this straight: Biden criticised Trump for comments he himself once used, comments he only apologized for after been called out as a hypocrite..
Sooo I guess old white dudes comparing political bullshit to lynchings is the norm now huh?
A Biden apology makes everything okay.... CNN is a clown show.
Joe looks like a very wise, distinguished old man. But joe has a little problem. Selling his influence and using his son as the front man. Not just in Ukraine, but China too, with links to Russia. Joe is just a scum bag.
Has CNN apologized?
I am glad that CNN reports this. Biden should withdraw from the presidential race and Hillary Clinton should become the Democratic nominee.
Another reason Biden would be a terrible nominee. Trump can play his whatabout game way too easily with him.
What I am learning from all this is that there is no correlation between intelligence and success
Time for Joe to RETIRE - he has too much baggage and makes too many gaffs
Bottom-feeding Catfish News Network (CNN) doesn't just have an egg on its face-it's wearing a Denver Omelet. While CNN and MSM goes nutso over realDonaldTrump using word 'lynching,' when Joe said it, it was JUST FINE. Double standard? Ummm...just a little.
What a corrupt clown ...
hey it’s only been 20 years
A no I they reason to support warren
Joe Biden -- the apology tour. No, Joe, you gotta go.
Ouch.
Don’t want use that terrible word, but that has happened to other people in history too. The Jews in the concentration camps, including children, are another tragic example.
Nonsense
Wow everything to get and remain ahead like sanders he needs to step down for younger people with new idea’s
Biden apologized..still waiting for Trump🤔
Waiting for CNN to APOLOGIZE CNNExposed
All politicians are jokes and all those that follow are sheep.
In 1998 were Nazi's marching in the streets shouting 'Jews will not replace us' and if they were did the President at the time call them fine people? America is a very different country now than it was in 1998....its been made 'Great' again....apparently...
CNN FakeNews narrative Lynching lynchtrump
History always haunts u
JoeBiden, we dont need another loud mouth goofball who constantly undermines himself. Please drop out. This is more bs distraction, sure. Nonetheless it's always something. JoeBiden
MAN OVERBOARD!
Big difference with Biden and Donald—Biden has the ability to apologize and admit fault. Trump never does. In fact, Trump doubles down, lies, and schemes how to lie his way out of a situation. His attorney’s motto is “truth isn’t truth.”
Why are we pretending this is normal?! This PC culture is asinine and is turning into a huge joke! Libs have mentally lost it when trump won!
And since Joe is a Democrat, he will be forgiven, and all is forgotten.
Again. This is not the right candidate for this job.
“Quid Pro Joe” puts his creepy foot in his mouth again! 😂
Yes..he did say that.. We all say things even news anchors on live tv say things without thinking...but JoeBiden is a decent man. He is not some evil malignant narscasisstic sociopathic sadist tyrant who is spewing hatred and racism with every tweet
Oh ok. I guess it's all the same then CNN.
As well as half a dozen other Democrats the same year. But that won’t stop you from making Trump the racist. Hell, he was even a Democrat back then.
He said this 20 years ago. We all said stupid shit 20 years ago. This shouldn’t be a headline and he shouldn’t have to apologize
A bunch of clueless. Trying to be elected to be the president and don't even know the defenition or the meaning of the word lynching. Trying to associated with race. What about JESUSCRIST he was lynched nail to a cross. Come on people wake up.
Now let’s hear Trump apologize... oh wait. He’s an orangutan.
Why were those words okay then, but not now? Why did Biden need to drop out because his character/morals were terrible in the 80's, but it's okay for him to be potus today?
Biden is same as Trump. They are both old white men.
Politicians are opportunistic. They change their opinions according to the situation.
So what you are really saying is that President Trump is using a democratic line of thought on the subject and they are taken offense to themselves!
Everybody thank CNN for helping Donald Adolf trump get a second term BRAVO cnn BRAVO
So what you're saying is that everything they accuse Trump of doing they have been doing for decades. Got it.
Not surprised because Clarence Thomas said it during his confirmation that the confirmation was a 'high tech lynching'.
Never before has a country, and in particular the media such as CNN, made such a complete fool of itself because of their persistent, relentless, biased attitude towards a US president. Keep it up to fool yourself! with your dictatorship of the media. In Holland CNN is a joke!
He's a Democrat; it's okay even if Joe actually is a racist.
21 years ago Puhlease.....
😹😹😹
To Late Trump Gave Turkey & Russia Putin his Buddy Syria , backed out of a ALLIED Force and genocide them Kurd's By His Harvard wonder Pompeo .Mr week legs? Go park The Carr in The Yarrd resign.
It was over a friggin blowjob! MUCH different than Trump working with a foreign govt to interfere in an election to benefit his re-election.
So, Trump using the same words
Did really tweet this or did someone hack their account? 🤔🤔
Oops Joe
Okay?
Joe Biden is not Potus
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Woah now CNN. You're getting awfully close to real news there.
Are we ready to admit that POTUS is a genius!? You just destroyed him all day for using the word 'lynching'. He knew exactly what he was doing when he made that statement and you took the bait! 😂😂
Byieeeeeeee Biden
Fuck JoeBiden getlost
So we're just going to start straight reporting again? Without bias, weird shit cnn but whatever, I'm down.
Even more awkward
So Joe was wrong for his choice of words as well. No double standard here.
Galatians 3:13 KJV — Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
It’s 2019 not 1998. Hell you can’t call a sewer hole a manhole anymore it has to be gender neutral so 1998 is irrelevant
But not today, right quid pro joe? This is completely a legit inquiry... ha ha ha ha! youredone
CNN: Your partisan hacks.
Biden needs to drop out of the race now and endorse GovernorBullock.
just stop it cnn
KamalaHarris Is it okay if Biden said it?
No more right than Trump saying it.
Also, he’s friends with the KKK and segregationists. Also, he’s a pedophile.
Cow rustlers were lynched. Some rapists & outlaws were lynched. Lynch-mobs lynched anyone they could at lynchings. That's why we call them lynch-mobs. They were lynchers. It's a noun, a verb & an adjective. Trying to act like only blacks were lynched is stupid.
20 years is a long time. There were many things said then in public life and in the workplace that you cannot say now. Think about it.
I’m in shock right now !!! Y’all are reporting something that is not just bashing Trump 😳😳
Oops
Lunching is not specific to a race. It’s the act of killing by a mob.
Seriously CNN
And it was wrong when he said it, too.
Wrong then, wrong now
When Communist News Network bashes Biden, the only reasonable Dem, the world has gone crazy. You just sealed Trump's reelection.
Gosh darn it, Joe.
So you immediately jump to this when the Orange King who’s racist and a white supremacist literally made a comment today..?
It turns out that a variety of Democrats in Congress used the term during the Bill Clinton “situation.”
lol
Womp womp
Play it!
Don’t forget Nadler used the word lynching as well.
Yeah oops
Wait, what? He should be excoriated for using such language. Where are the Democrats?
Yes and republicans said lying To Congress is an impeachable crime.
Good god JoeBiden this wasn’t ok then and is worse today.
Wow.... ironic lol
Oh my! Hypocrite libs are appalled by the L word. Newsflash! Nobody cares! Blacks use the L word and the N word, but it’s okay by lib standards! Get over it!
That didn’t count.
That’s because Joe Biden is out of touch and should not be running for President. He’ll be weaker than Obama, and that’s pretty weak.
Once again .. this is why your polls suck.. and we’ve been trying to tell you all along for 4 years it’s been BernieOrBust ... now it’s just called Bernie2020 BernieSanders
1998. Thank you.
just here for the ratio
Thanks Joe, they knew they could count on you
Only 21 years ago, seems like yesterday. Gtfoh
Fuck
Ever get the feeling Trump sets out the bait, and they take it every time?
Joe, Joe, Joe ... 😔 what were ya thinking?
God Damnit Joe 🤦♂️
That was 1998. 21yrs later people know better and should do better.
I see that CNN has now openly turned on Joe Biden... lol nobody cared when he said that in 98 because the left hadn’t gone full bore insane yet, and everyone knew what he meant.
LOL, LOL AND MORE LOL. gohomeJOE
Just imagine if Trump would've had a Lewinsky situation. Oh my
Trumpkins all over this playing whataboutism. But when you pull out the video of Lindsey Graham for this very same impeachment saying the president doesn't have to commit a crime it's about cleansing the office vs now where Lindsey requires a gun and a dead body there's silence.
That’s extremely interesting. So what
Why you always bringing up old shit? 🤣
CNN reporting this Apparently the DNC has made its decision that JoeBiden is not their top candidate, and is using CNN as its voice.
CNN why dont you list everyone who said it, instead of trying to do to joebiden what you did to Hillary in 2016 & when after 3 investigations, they find nothing you push under rug. you are a disgrace
And he was wrong then just like it is wrong to say it now
joe.. you are NOT helping yourself... quit now and let the people who know what they're doing take over...
Oops
WTH? CNN posting this The world is coming to an end
Apparently everyone says in Congress when shit doesn't go their way. Let's not ignore the fact Trump is getting what he deserves. Thanks for
Why did you post this? Will you also post the backlash he faced?
JoeBiden why is it ok for you to say it but nobody else?
Little egg on the face of these idiots. Lol
do nothing-dems r lynching us we the voters w/abuse of power. they r destroying our will, constitution, future presidencies, our country. impeach w/no crime? w/a.s.s.--allegations speculations smoke? w/secret hearings? w/o due process?
jooooe Wtf is wrong with you, you weren’t even that old back then
Aaaand Joe comes through again 😆👌
CNN. Account alert. Account alert Your handle has been hijacked.
IS DOING THE SAME THING THEY DID TO HILLARY CLINTON.
Is this Trump’s secret twitter account? The real CNN would never report this.
Old, white, rich men often say stupid things. Time for something different.
Fuck it, I'm with PeteButtigieg
CNN had to post it. Scooby Doo cartoon has higher ratings than the network. True. Came from source in milieu. Eat crow now.
No one said anything then but now Trump said it and the world is coming to an end !! All fake news all the time !! realDonaldTrump
Lemme guess, Jeffrey Tobin wrote this drivel?
