The single best comment on this “lynching” controversy comes from Joe Biden, who used the language in 1998 to describe Clinton’s impeachment: washingtonpost.com/history/2019/1…
“That wasn’t the right word to use and I’m sorry about that. Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lunching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily.”
So when Biden used the word, it was just a boo-boo. When Trump uses it, it’s obviously malicious. Or, alternatively, everyone is full of s***, and politicians generally use the word to refer to consequences without due process, without reference to race.
There’s a good case they shouldn’t -- lynching has a long, horrible, racist history in the US. But to single out Trump’s use as uniquely racist as opposed to other politicians is plainly dishonest.
