Trump was quickly rebuked by Democrats and at least one Republican for his shameless self-pity and ignorance of the legacy of lynching. Democratic New York congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke tweeted: “Using this term draws up some of America’s darkest history—Trump is yet again a disgrace and massively offensive.”
