Trump’s Hot-Potato Label For Impeachment Inquiry
As if we haven’t heard it all: No matter what President Trump says or does, the unhinged left will find something wrong with it (“Trump calls impeach probe ‘a lynching,’ ” Oct. 23).
He compared the never-ending hateful rhetoric against him to a “lynching.” No sooner did he speak then the left came back with harsh criticism.
It does resemble a verbal lynching — an unending assault meant to bring this president down, all because the left’s “perfect” candidate lost the election. How much longer will we have to listen to this phony charade? Sam King Manhattan
Trump is finding that he can’t run the government like a business.
The laws of the land, as well as the Constitution, are much like a foreign language to him. And if our laws don’t suit his own personal needs, he flagrantly gives them “the finger” and calls them phony.
But let’s be clear: The impeachment inquiry is no lynching. And Trump needs look no further than the mirror to see the person responsible for his own undoing.
Of course, with a Republican-led Senate, it will be an uphill battle to remove Trump from office. But the inquiry sends a clear message: Presidents who choose to bully and intimidate and sway laws in their favor will not be tolerated. Precedent must be set. JoAnn Lee Frank Clearwater, Fla.
Of course the impeachment inquiry is a “lynching.” Whether you call it a lynching, a witch hunt or kangaroo court, it’s all the same.
From Russian collusion to Ukraine to heaven knows what else, Democrats are conjuring up something out of nothing to overturn a legitimate 2016 election result that even now, three years later, they’re unable to accept. Donald Nawi Scarsdale
Lynching is dangling at the end of a rope until strangled, often because you’re black. It does not compare to Trump being strung up on his own lies.
Odd that our president would reference a genocidal hate crime when feeling beleaguered by the truth. Bitter racism is hard to squelch. Mary Alice Altorfer New Braunfels, Texas
Trump called the impeachment investigation a lynching, and the media and Democrats went into hysterics.
It seems they forgot, when President Bill Clinton was impeached, Democrats were calling it a lynching. So what is the difference? Barry Levy Hawthorne, Calif.
