Quote:Democrats are expressing outrage over President Trump’s comparison of the ongoing impeachment inquiry to “lynching,” but a top House Democrat — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) — made that same comparison himself in 1998 during Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

According to an October 4, 1998, Associated Press article that touted Nadler’s role as a top Clinton defender, the then-51 year-old congressman said:

I am the president’s defender in the sense that I haven’t seen anything yet that would rise, in my opinion, to the level of impeachable offense. …

I wish we could get this over with quickly. … In pushing the process, in pushing the arguments of fairness and due process the Republicans so far have been running a lynch mob.

Despite this, House Democrats have rushed to condemn Trump’s comparison of impeachment to lynching and demanded an apology.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Tuesday, “The president should not compare a constitutionally mandated impeachment inquiry to such a dangerous and dark chapter of American history. It’s irresponsible for him to do so and I hope that he will apologize.”

The New York Times’ Twitter account tweeted that Trump was using a term that “invokes the decades-long racist history of white mob murders of black people.”

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said Trump comparing the impeachment inquiry to lynching was “beneath the dignity of the office of the President of the United States”:

CNN commentator Keith Boykin tweeted:

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has also taken some heat for defending Trump’s comparison:

Nadler also said in 1998 that impeachment “could be the most divisive thing in American politics since the Vietnam War.”

“You get a large segment of the American population saying ‘You’ve staged a coup d’etat, you overthrew the election unfairly.’ The other part of the American people say, ‘No, we didn’t,’” said Nadler.

He also warned Republicans against running a “partisan witchhunt.”

“So far it’s been done very wrong and very unfairly,” he said then.

Is he aware that lynchings weren't strictly reserved for blacks?

Wow, look at the size of that pig, er, man. Were they using a translator to translate from Pig to English?

Oink, oink-oink, oink.

That means they hired Mel Blancs.

So you agree then that trump and Graham are in the wrong now, just as Nadler and Biden were in the past.

2 wrongs dont make a right. Both deserve to get **** for saying it.

Did the press go after Nadler and Biden when they said it?

Yea, someone could probably drop the Salem Witch Trials on these doofuses, but then that might require them to History for a bit.

On a side note, did anyone else realize Tub-O-Goo had that semi-famous part in Monty Pythons Meaning of life?

I didn't.

No clue. I did see that Biden did own up and issue a twitter apology.

Good for her.

One Republican in particular took a bullet behind the left ear for exactly that reason.

Who woulda guessed referencing "lynching" is now somehow a cultural appropriation?

Totally off the reservation, these dims. Oh, wait. Am I no longer able to say that either?

They didn't. Whether or not a word creates a media firestorm depends on who utters it.

Quite the contrary. This is all manufactured outrage. The lynching thing doesn’t bother me in the least. Lynching was not a racial thing even though many seems to want to tie the two closely together.

If you are going to cast those stones you better take stock in what you have said perviously. That’s all.

A lot of progressives seems to want to erase history as if it never happened.
