Graham Slams Democrats: Impeachment Inquiry a 'Sham,' Trump's Right, This Is a 'Lynching'

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Tuesday backed up President Donald Trump’s assessment that the Democratic impeachment inquiry is a “lynching,” adding it is a “sham.”

Asked what he thought of Trump’s characterization of the impeachment inquiry as a lynching, Graham responded, “I think that’s pretty well accurate.”

“This is a sham. This is a joke,” he added. “I’m going to let the whole world know that if we were doing this to a Democratic president, you would be all over me right now … This is a lynching in every sense. This is un-American.”

Graham, who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, promised that should the House vote to impeach Trump, he would do everything he could “to make sure it doesn’t live very long in the Senate,” The Hill reported.

LISTEN:

Trump tweeted earlier in the day that Democrats are denying him due process rights in their inquiry into his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

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!

“So someday, 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,” he wrote.

“All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching. But we will WIN!”

Graham identified some of those rights to reporters.

“I’ve never seen a situation in my life as a lawyer where somebody is accused of major misconduct who cannot confront the accuser, call witnesses on their behalf and have the discussion in the light of day so the public can judge,” he said.

Pressed again on Trump’s use of the word “lynching,” Graham did not back down.

“I think lynching is being seen as somebody taking the law in their own hands and out to get somebody for no good reason,” he said.

The Twitter outrage mob was fast to attack Trump calling him a racist for using the term.

Comparing impeachment to a #lynching is one of the most despicable and disgusting things to come out of this president’s mouth and that’s really saying something. Anyone who tries to defend this remark is just as reprehensible.https://t.co/ye8GFBFON8

The President of the United States comparing an impeachment inquiry to a #lynching is not a “distraction.” It is a reflection of the very real trajectory of our nation and the very repugnant evil of racism, which still permeates both legislation and language in the United States.

#Lynching is a hard truth and a reprehensible stain on this country’s history.

The deliberate use of that word in any other context serves only to minimize and erase the pain and trauma endured by the thousands of Black Americans who were lynched from the 1870s to the 1960s.

I am doing my best to make sure I’m not just shouting into the ether when this hellscape timeline gives us another reason to fight the air.

This #thread is an attempt to teach you the why. Why #Lynching is not a thing to play with. https://t.co/SaHSPeAb2E

Yet, the same outrage mob that attacks Trump gave Jerry Nadler a pass for 1998 during Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

The Blue Checkmark Brigade have come out in full force just like we knew that they would. After all, they can’t stand the idea of not having an iron grip on all your information. They don’t want Conservatives to have anything that prevents the big tech oligarchs from spying, censoring, and banning anything that isn’t “politically correct” or is “out of context” as Facebook loves to say as an excuse for suppression.

One of the many perks about the phone is that it’s hassle-free. No having to make a trip to go deal with your provider, you keep the same service you’ve always had. All you have to do is take the SIM card out of your old phone and pop it into SIM card slot in the Freedom Phone. It’s really is that easy to get your privacy back. And the dual SIM card slots are so that you can add additional storage for things like photos, videos, or anything you want! It’s a free country after all.

First, The Daily Beast wrote an article saying that the Freedom Phone is, “just a budget Chinese phone“. This couldn’t be further from the truth. While it is an incredible deal, a mere $449.99 with code “MAGA” (compared to a $700-$1000 iPhone12) it IS NOT manufactured in China. Although the Daily Beast might have a “one-China policy” The Freedom Phone is actually manufactured in Hong Kong. You’ll remember Hong Kong from the HUGE protests where they waved American flags and fought hard against the authoritarian Chinese government who was trying to take control of their country. Patriots recognize Patriots, and that’s why Freedom Phone is PROUD to have their product manufactured in a country that is actually fighting with boots on the ground against one of the biggest enemies of the USA.
