Making ‘lynching’ great again? Resistance hero Rob Reiner declares that ‘Democracy is being lynched by a Racist Liar’
A lot of people — on both sides of the aisle — are calling out Donald Trump for comparing the prospect of impeachment to “a lynching.” As they should.
So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!

It’s an ignorant and offensive comparison. And Resistance hero Rob Reiner just followed suit:
Way to teach that nasty Trump a lesson, Rob! A lesson in how to make Trump’s offensiveness seem tame by comparison.
Let's just be careful not to water down a word that has immense, negative, historical meaning.

Love you Rob, but can we not use that word? As a black woman who was raised in Virginia, that word is sooo offensively hurtful.

's other TweetsPlease don't normalize the use of this word. It's history is an assault of the highest magnitude to all our Black/Colored Americans and the struggle only they can feel so viscerally.

Eh, Rob doesn’t have to worry too much about offending people. After all, his status as an outspoken liberal confers upon him a sort of immunity. He’s still got plenty of support:
