No, @LindseyGrahamSC the impeachment inquiry against Mr. Trump is not like a lynching "in every sense." You are an ofcr of the court and the Chair of Senate Judiciary Committee. Show some responsibility and leadership in the words you use - especially about abuses of law.
@LindseyGrahamSC Senator Graham, you are also a South Carolinian. If you wish to know what a "lynching in every sense" is like, your state's history is replete with examples. For example, the lynching of Willie Earle just a few years before your birth. Perhaps you heard stories about it.
@LindseyGrahamSC You can read about it here. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti… This is what a lynching was like.
@LindseyGrahamSC This article includes a photo of the lynchers of Willie Earle celebrating after being acquitted at their "trial." I encourage you to view this and read this article. newyorker.com/magazine/1947/…
