HEARTLESS. THOUGHTLESS. BONE-HEADED. FEEBLE-MINDED. UNAWARE. MORONIC. ILLOGICAL.
And refuses to recognize the Constitutional duty of the House of Representatives of the United States of America. Many members of the GOP are the same as Tweety, refusing to acknowledge the Constitution.
"Trump’s sick trivialization of lynching — and two senators’ outrageous justifications
By Jonathan Capehart Opinion writer October 22 at 1:22 PM
"“All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching,” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. “But we will WIN!”"
Uh, uh, Tweety, sorry, but the impeachment is a Constitutional duty executed properly and legally by the United States House of Representatives, a CO_EQUAL BRACH OG OUR GOVERNMENT.
Tweety, stop whining and playing the victim, and stop offending every Black American with your crap tweets!
" . . . I was driven into a rage over the responses from the two senators from South Carolina, a state that has had 164 documented lynchings between 1877 and 1950, according to the Equal Justice Initiative.
“So yeah, this is a lynching in every sense,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R) said at the Capitol. “This is un-American. I’ve never seen a situation in my lifetime as a lawyer where somebody’s accused of major misconduct who cannot confront the accuser, call witnesses on their behalf and have the discussion in the light of day so the public can judge.”
“There’s no question that the impeachment process is the closest thing of a political death row trial, so I get his absolute rejection of the process,” said Sen. Tim Scott (R), the only African American Republican in the Senate. “I wouldn’t use the word lynching.”
There’s a saying for this idiocy: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.” To invoke lynching in this manner is to trivialize an open and widely unacknowledged sore in our nation’s history. It is to minimize domestic terror against African Americans. It’s to negate the pain of the people who built this country with their free labor and made it great with their resilience in the face of persistent and ongoing discrimination.
Anyone who cannot see fit to give a full-throated condemnation of Trump and what he said is not fit for public office or the public trust."
"Newt Gingrich and Whoopi Goldberg Go at It Over Trump’s ‘Lynching’ Comments"
The former Republican House Speaker co-hosted “The View” on Tuesday. It did not go well for him.
Matt Wilstein Senior Writer Updated 10.22.19
Newt offers that whites were also lynched, BUT he misses the point entirely that black people were innocent victims of THOUSANDS (OVER 3,900) of lynchings, nit just a few random lynchings, Newt!
If the blacks die by means other than lynching, does that make use of the word "lynching" OK, Newt? How about if they are shot? Is that OK?
Gingrich and Lindsay Graham want us to use the literal dictionary definition of a "lynching," a mob that murders, for Trump's situation. What? How, in any sense, does the definition of a mob murdering Trump work? Did Lindsay go to law school? Has Lindsay read the Constitution? Does Lindsay understand impeachment is not a trial and does not follow rules of a trial? I think LIndsay knows he is talking BS. Lindsay knows impeachment is not a trial and so lynching definitely NOT apply to an impeachment.
DICTIONARY:
lynch
/lin(t)SH/
verb
gerund or present participle: lynching; noun: lynching
(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.
"her father had been lynched for a crime he didn't commit"
Why do black Americans not recognize Trumps true feelings about Trump's hate for ALL people of color, especially THEM! Sure, he lest them work for him, serve him, do work for him, deliver propaganda for him . . . Tweety is transactional in every case. Do his bidding and he will "take care" of you, like any mafia boss takes care of his "people."
" . . . Gingrich ultimately admitted that he did not actually think it was appropriate for Trump to use the word “lynching” but was instead reflexively defending his team. “No, look, I've been comfortable just calling it a witch hunt and a kangaroo court and things like that, I haven't gone up to that next level.”"
Deflecting direct questions can undermine your credibility, Newt.
Newt really went overboard on the View asking Whoopi to see Tweety's view, no pun intended.
"Defending Trump's “lynching” remark, Fox’s Newt Gingrich tells Whoopi Goldberg to put herself in Trump's shoes"
On The View, Gingrich says “most of the early American movies on lynching were about lynching white people”

"A Lynching Memorial Is Opening. The Country Has Never Seen Anything Like It."
The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, opening Thursday in Montgomery, Ala., is dedicated to victims of white supremacy
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/25/us/lynching-memorial-alabama.html
"The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which opens Thursday on a six-acre site overlooking the Alabama State Capitol, is dedicated to the victims of American white supremacy. And it demands a reckoning with one of the nation’s least recognized atrocities: the lynching of thousands of black people in a decades-long campaign of racist terror.
At the center is a grim cloister, a walkway with 800 weathered steel columns, all hanging from a roof. Etched on each column is the name of an American county and the people who were lynched there, most listed by name, many simply as “unknown.” The columns meet you first at eye level, like the headstones that lynching victims were rarely given. But as you walk, the floor steadily descends; by the end, the columns are all dangling above, leaving you in the position of the callous spectators in old photographs of public lynchings.
The magnitude of the killing is harrowing, all the more so when paired with the circumstances of individual lynchings, some described in brief summaries along the walk: Parks Banks, lynched in Mississippi in 1922 for carrying a photograph of a white woman; Caleb Gadly, hanged in Kentucky in 1894 for “walking behind the wife of his white employer”; Mary Turner, who after denouncing her husband’s lynching by a rampaging white mob, was hung upside down, burned and then sliced open so that her unborn child fell to the ground."
"A mob lynching of 4 black sharecroppers in 1946 is focus of court battle over grand jury secrecy"
The young black sharecroppers were being driven along a rural road when they were stopped by a white mob beside the Apalachee River, just over 50 miles east of Atlanta.
Oct. 22, 2019, 7:04 AM EDT By The Associated Press
"ATLANTA — A historian's quest for the truth about a gruesome mob lynching of two black couples is prompting a U.S. appeals court to consider whether federal judges can order grand jury records unsealed in decades-old cases with historical significance.
The young black sharecroppers were being driven along a rural road in the summer of 1946 when they were stopped by a white mob beside the Apalachee River, just over 50 miles east of Atlanta. The mob dragged them out, led them to the riverbank and shot them multiple times. For months the FBI investigated and more than 100 people reportedly testified before a grand jury, but no one was ever indicted in the deaths of Roger and Dorothy Malcom and George and Mae Murray Dorsey at Moore's Ford Bridge in Walton County."
