Mike Huckabee is Outraged and Calls Impeachment a ‘Lynching of Donald Trump’

By

We are a little sick of the victim-complex running through MAGA land as a reaction to the riots and insurrection. One would think that they’d be doing all they can to acknowledge the horrific events and scrambling to get themselves on the right side of history. There is no “both sides” to riots and attempts to topple the U.S. government.

We heard reports that many representatives voted no on impeachment because they actually feared for their lives. That does make some sense and yet one might also think that it would lead them to some serious introspection about whether they’re in the right party at all. But even if they’re afraid to vote or come out against Trump, they don’t have to push his agenda forward and promote him.

But Mike Huckabee cannot help it and in doing so, he has to insult people of color everywhere while also holding Trump up as a martyr who has done nothing but give of himself to this country. The video is below and we’ll analyze it on the other side:

Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy got more due process?

Not pre-trial, no. In fact, they got the same amount of due process even though they were going to be executed, the worst fate Trump faced was losing the presidency. But impeachment is like an indictment, meaning that the defendant will be held over for trial. People are indicted on evidence right in front of people’s faces. Just as video of a crime committed can lead to an arrest and indictment, video of the insurrection, Trump’s tweets, and Trump’s speeches constitute plenty of evidence for a trial.

“Lynching?” Lynching leads to someone’s death, often of someone innocent. Lynching is the result of an angry mob and no vote is taken. Lynchings also trace back to some of the most horrific times in this nation’s past. Rich white men that can simply move out of the White House and go to Mar-a-Lago are not the victims of lynching.

Peace, y’all
