You know, while I do agree that watching them defend Trump is kinda entertaining, especially when they twist themselves in knots, it's not something we should be concentrating our energy on.
And yeah, lynchings have had racial overtones for many years in this country, but they were also used as vigilante justice in the Old West.
Not only that, but in common modern slang, lynching is a term used by people who feel they were treated unfairly by a group.
Now, while I wouldn't use a term like that, because I believe it's a bit extreme to throw around carelessly, I can understand why a narcissist like Trump would use it.
