Black lawmakers condemn Trump's 'lynching' remarks
|
[The Hill] Black lawmakers on Capitol Hill slammed President Trump for an explosive tweet Tuesday that compared Democrats’ impeachment investigation to a "lynching," conjuring a dark chapter in the nation’s history targeting African Americans.
While Democrats widely condemned Trump’s language, it was personal and hurtful for members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
Who historically suffered at the hands of Democrats
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) called Trump a "racist" who is "unfit to serve," while Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), a civil rights activist who founded a chapter of the Black Panthers in the 1960s, called on Trump to delete the offensive tweet.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Rush tweeted. "Do you know how many people who look like me have been lynched, since the inception of this country, by people who look like you. Delete this tweet."
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), a former CBC chairman and the No. 3 Democrat in leadership, said he wants the full House to vote on a resolution condemning Trump’s lynching comments.
