Clarence Thomas called it “a high tech lynching” when the Democrats accused Thomas of being a sex maniac during his confirmation hearings. The Democrats were trying to create a “lynching” atmosphere so that they could defeat his nomination. The facts be damned. A good man was smeared because the Democrats did not like the fact that he was a constitutionalist. The Dems knew that it would be difficult to persuade Thomas to abandon his legal principles and vote to transform the country into something other than a constitutional republic. Therefore his nomination had to be derailed. The Dems did not succeed because a good man stood up and called them out on what they were trying to do.
They tried the same thing with Justice Kavanaugh. Instead of Anita Hill, they substituted Christine Blasey Ford. Her story was as fake as it gets. The storyline was deliberately obtuse so that few details could be checked. Why? If real details were there, the whole narrative would have quickly collapsed like the house of cards that it was. It did eventually collapse anyway but not before the Dems had once again smeared a good man.
There is no question but that the Dems are trying this again. This time it is the President that they are trying to lynch. Nineteen minutes after PDJT took the oath of office, the Washington Post was front and center reporting that the impeachment case against PDJTwas underway.
The Dems are a bit more sophisticated than they were with Clarence Thomas but the process is the same. Try to smear a good man by any means necessary. Once his reputation is destroyed through false storylines, then they can lynch him via a fake impeachment process.
PDJT hit back through Twitter
So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching. But we will WIN!

The MSM and others on the left immediately began howling and shrieking. Tweets flew around the Internet howling of the inappropriateness of PDJT’s use of the word “lynching.” Apparently “lynching,” like “slavery” and “racism,” is a word reserved only for blacks and can be used only by them or on their terms. The MSM would like people in this country to believe that blacks are the only people who ever suffered under slavery. The case with “lynching” is similar. Lynching, it is claimed, was reserved only for blacks and was never suffered by whites.
This is downright idiotic.
This is another abortive attempt to paint the President as racist. PDJT could say “Good morning,” and some loony on the left would be claiming a dog whistle of racism in how he said it.
Taking a closer look at the use of this word by politicians we find numerous examples of Democrats using the word. Jerry Nadler, current chairman of the House judiciary Committee said in 1998 during the Clinton impeachment hearings,
Joe Biden in 1998 said,
“Even if the President should be impeached, history is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching or whether or not it was something that in fact met the standard, the very high bar, that was set by the founders as to what constituted an impeachable offense,”
In 1998,
The real reason the Left and their friends in the media are shrieking is very simple. PDJT’s tweet is true. They need to discredit use of the word so that the public does not realize the truthfulness of PDJT’s tweet. Thus we have the smokescreen. Pretend that this is somehow racist.
Ida B. Wells, a true journalist, documented lynchings in the South in her book, A Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynchings In the United States. Her findings have never been challenged. There were 4,743 lynchings in all. More than a quarter were whites.
Lynchings were also a more common practice on the Western frontier during the 1870’s-1890’s. And the vast majority of those were whites. So the idea that lynchings were a uniquely black experience is so far from the truth as to be laughable. It is also quite sad that there will be a number of people who will buy into this fake narrative once the media is finished with their fake news broadcasts about this.
It is also fair to note that the lynch mobs in the South were 100% Democratic. There were no Republican lynch mobs in the South.
What is the definition of a lynching? It is a mob that attempts to bypass the law by victimizing innocent individuals through extralegal means. This is clearly what Crazy Nancy and Shiftless Schiff are up to. PDJT has done nothing unconstitutional. Therefore, by definition, this is a lynching.
Pelosi and Schiif are trying to whip the crowd into a frenzy and then lead them where they want them to go. Fortunately more and more Americans are catching on to their games. Does what they are doing constitute the crime of sedition? Is the death penalty the appropriate penalty for such a crime? HRC seemed to think so during the 2016 campaign after her interview with Matt Lauer. HRC said, “If that fucking bastard wins, we all hang from nooses!” Just what specific crime she was referring to is unclear.
