    As a historical matter, he happens to be right, & the people arguing with him on this are wrong. As I noted earlier, you can recognize that the word "lynching" carries a particular racial history in the USA & *also* recognize that it is not an *exclusive* history.https://twitter.com/EricKleefeld/status/1186683095178711040 …

    Newt Gingrich says lynching isn't "an automatically, only black experience." All lynchings matter? https://www.mediamatters.org/view/view-foxs-newt-gingrich-says-lynching-isnt-automatically-only-black-experience …

        This map from @mcimaps pretty well illustrates both points: lynching in large parts of the country was not primarily racial, but lynching in the region where it was most common was predominantly a longstanding tool of terror against black Americans:pic.twitter.com/WRLBvgRnIN

        Dear god. I get it. History is what it is. It's still so freaking tone deaf and to defend his statements with a history lesson is equally tone deaf

        How about just grotesque? How about truly bad taste?

        Battled, beat, war, heroic, I read these words everyday in the sports section. No one takes it literally. Everyone knows the president didn’t mean he was literally being lynched.

        The Left lost their minds when Clarence Thomas (a black man for you Millennials) characterized his Supreme Court confirmation hearing as a "high-tech lynching". It's almost as if Democrats want to erase lynching from our history altogether.

        No. Black Americans like me don’t want the brutality, terror and monstrosity of our history appropriated for use by privileged criminal scum to describe lawful investigations of his crimes.

        To say the use of “lynching” in this country has any meaningful connotation other than violence against black people is like saying wearing a white sheet over your body and burning a cross has a non-black connotation

        This is a weird defense. The president thinks being investigated for his crimes is similar to racialized execution, because he's a child.
