President Donald Trump Compares Impeachment Inquiry To Lynching | Deadline | MSNBC
When Trump’s in trouble he always dog whistles to his base!
@M18 Hellcat in that case I know you don’t listen to trump!
Democrats must have been doing the same https://youtu.be/yQI433Y-p3Y
Jordan Xander no they just don’t care b/c they are not really offended. They have heard the word used by countless democrats and know exactly what trump meant but they just can’t help themselves. Sad
oh goodie!!! Another ridiculous issue to keep the left busy for a week.
@felix u while trump’s being impeached for being the lair that he is
Good for Michael Steele
Thank you Jason, people need to be reminded words matter.
50 cent
Democrats Called Bill Clinton’s Impeachment A Lynching
https://youtu.be/R6rK8txfXiU?t=12
Some body has dirt on Lindsey. No way he would do a 180 after McCain died.
Just sickening! Impeach! Period! Impeach!
IMPEACH!!!!!!! REMOVE!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!
TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
nadler biden said lynching when talking about bill clinton impeachment call them out also RIGHT!!!
All roads lead to putin
All REPUGNICAN roads lead to their comrade dictator putin.
Tell’em Jason!!! LMAO
Next metaphor will be – Trump is being un-constitutionally grabbed by the pu$$y.
cant use that word either because it would offend all bernie voters.
Quoting someone doesn’t offend anyone, moron. Those were Trumpo the Clown’s exact words. Get over it.
And by the way, Bernie has more humanity in his little finger than Trumpo the Clown has in his entire hamberder stuffed body.
WTF! Just when I thought Trump couldn’t sink *any* lower he does. What a piece of utter 💩!
@ DREAM SHOP
You are a pathetic Russian Troll.
@Ro G Our war? Who’s back yard were we in? So leftists like war now? You should enlist!
@Stevie C Dude, that is soooo 2018!
🤔 Well you can’t get mad when the fuses are lit and the 💣 goes 💥off .
Lovely E. I’m ashamed of the people running this country
“Attempting to change the narrative.” Excellent clear response, Sir.
Keep it up and maybe your society can finally get out of being manipulated daily by Trump.
“When you’re accustomed to privilege – equality will feel like oppression”….
perfectly said
What does this have to do with this news story? The sky is blue, until night.
@buttercup I cannot and will not claim it as my own quote, hence the quotations – but I also cannot name who said it.
@Clay T R/wooosh
Jason, dude, you are always a badass. Thank you for being here. Elise, right on, thank you! Frank, you got right to the point, awesome.
The Tangerine Turd and his despicable base would absolutely love to get back to the days of actual lynchings. SMFH!!
He’d have to become a Democrat. Democrats lynched 5k black people from 1865 to 1965.
@The One And when Lyndon passed Civil rights Bill these KKK Dixiecrats (fake democrats) all joined and polluted the Grand Old Party of Abraham Lincoln! Professor Emerita Ewell.
@The One …They were Democrats, until they discovered they really were Republicans & switched parties.
Very said Mr.Johnson! Thank you!
I’m sure Al Capone compared his arrest to a lynching too.
And so did Gotti.
Jeez, i can barely keep up with this low life and Lindsey is right with him.
Rock bottom. Until tomorrow afternoon when Donny gets out of bed again, and we go deeper.
We were promised a winner and received the biggest “victim” we’ve ever seen.
