Beto Slams Trump’s Lynching Remark As ‘One Of The Most Obscene Things’ In His Lifetime — But He Forgives Biden For The Same Comparison

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) argued on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s comparison of the ongoing impeachment inquiry against him to a lynching is an example of his unfitness for the presidency, but excused his Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden for previously making a similar remark.

“I think that if you had not been convinced of how unfit he is to lead this country, his invocation of lynching to describe what is happening to him in a fair, deliberate, democratic process, that should convince you beyond the shadow of a doubt,” O’Rourke told interviewer Robert Costa during a sit-down chat on The Washington Post Live.
