Democrats Compared Clintons Impeachment To Lynching Now Say Trumps Racist For Doing The Same

(The Daily Caller) Democrats compared President Bill Clintons impeachment trial to a lynching as they debated whether to impeach him in 1998. President Donald Trump similarly compared the impeachment inquiry hes facing to a lynching and Democrats quickly condemned his comment as racist. It makes you no better than those who burn crosses. It makes you no better than those who wear hoods and white robes" Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green said Tuesday. In December 1998 congressional representatives debated whether or not to impeach a president for the first time since the House voted to impeach President Andrew Johnson on Feb. 24 1868 according to The New York Times. Multiple representatives compared Clintons impeachment to a lynching and several others condemned it as a Republican attempt to remove Clinton from office.
