I'm being LYNCHED

[Independent Voter]

Have been watching the BLOW UP on the news about Trump calling the impeachment probe a lynching . All the usual suspects are saying he is making a “ discusting “ reference to the hanging of negros / african-american / black people in the South and that he should in some way be condemned for using that language.

Obviously, the only people that were “ lynched “ were members of the afore mentioned group.

While there were hangings of black people , there were also “ LYNCHINGS “ of many white people . A casual look at the instant justice meted out in the west for rustlers/horse thieves and many others should give a pause to the current screaming of the insipid racism in his statement.

He may have in fact been thinking of the fate of rustlers just prior to making his statement.

I am sick and damned tired of a minority trying to morph every action or comment to a racial insult.

I saw an article yesterday that quoted the large number of Democrat leaders who complained at the time that Bill Clinton was being “lynched,” but then I remembered that Bill was “the first black president.”

All I can remember about him playing with his joly waggle got some kind of news.
