Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden claims his own past usage of the term "Lynching" to describe impeachment is different from President Donald Trump's use of the same word this week.
Trump on Tuesday used the word "Lynching" in an angry tweet about House Democrats and their impeachment inquiry.
Many Democrats immediately fired back to claim "Lynching" is a word with such terrible racial overtones that Trump was hitting new levels of insensitivity by using it.
"Impeachment is not 'lynching,' it is part of our Constitution. Our country has a dark, shameful history with lynching, and to even think about making this comparison is abhorrent. It's despicable," he tweeted Tuesday in response to Trump.
Impeachment is not "Lynching," it is part of our Constitution.
Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lynching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily.
The Washington Post delved into the use of the words "Lynching" or "Lynch mob" in the context of the Clinton impeachment, and found that five other Democratic lawmakers - Rep. Danny Davis of Illinois, former Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington, Rep. Gregory Meeks, former Rep. Charles Rangel and Rep. Jerrold Nadler - used such terms.
