Rep. Bobby Rush, a black Democrat from Chicago, blasted Trump 10 minutes after his tweet first was posted, asking the president, 'What the hell is wrong with you,' and telling Trump to 'delete this tweet.'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called the House of Representatives's ongoing impeachment probe into his conduct "a lynching."
Rep. Bobby Rush, a black Democrat from Chicago, blasted Trump 10 minutes after his tweet first was posted, asking the president, "What the hell is wrong with you," and telling Trump to "delete this tweet." Trump's tweet instantly sparked criticism for his use of a term, lynching, which historically refers to the extrajudicial, racially motivated killings of thousands of black Americans after the Civil War and into the 1960s.
He was echoed by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that lynching is "obviously a word with significant historical freight," according to a reporter from Politico.
