On Tuesday, the Twitterverse came unglued after President Donald Trump’s tweet describing what we all know to be a political “lynching.”

As if on cue or command, leftists heard what they believed to be a racist dog whistle. A mob of socialites flooded the POTUS’ Twitter account to shame him for his choice of words.

To them, the weight of the term “lynching” is too heavy for anyone to bear, and its connotation to unjust black murders throughout history allows the Left to decide who can use the word.

This could be correct, if only Democrats could tell the whole truth about lynchings in American history.

Raging liberals are fuming about a practice that they understand very little about. For example, they seem to only point out how blacks were victims of lynchings, but never about whites and other minorities who were also lynched for crimes they did not commit.

On March 14, 1891, in New Orleans, 11 Italian Americans were suspected of murdering a police chief. This resulted in a negative reaction by the Italian government and the termination of diplomatic relations with the U.S. While it’s true that blacks were the victims of the majority of lynchings, whites were also lynched, if we are to be historically honest.

Knowing this, wouldn’t it be racist to automatically associate lynching with black people? If this happened to Americans regardless of race, how is it that black people have a monopoly on being unjustly murdered in light of an accusation? And why would the minds of white leftists go there? Do they wrongly believe that a “lynching” is reserved only for blacks? That would be a dismal state of mind, indeed.

Furthermore, if we are to address lynchings of blacks, then why is it the Democrat Party calling foul? Is this not the party that allowed the lynching of thousands of black slaves as well as white Republicans who helped blacks to freedom? Yet here we are today, enraged at President Trump. His choice of words in reference to impeachment proves true — at least to those of us who are politically and fundamentally literate, anyway.

However, if we are to keep things honest, then we can’t forget how those on the Left and in the mainstream media also engage in wordplay. In 2015, CNN columnist Sophia Nelson described the Benghazi hearing as a “lynching of Hillary Clinton.” And should former Vice President Joe Biden have apologized for his statement referring to President Bill Clinton’s impeachment as a “partisan lynching”?

What’s sad about this is that the Left doesn’t want its viewership to know that this incendiary buzzword is oft thrown around by political pundits, talking heads, and presidential candidates. I’m not sure which is sadder — the fact that a media mob is actively “lynching” our POTUS or that networks like CNN believe their audience is ignorant enough to not see through this sheer veil of false victimhood.

But why is it that the “Woke” society is so worried about words, but not by the state of our black and urban communities?

How can the Woke society allow the redefinition of gender, sexuality, and whether an embryo is a human baby, yet turn a blind eye to how definitions and usage for other terms — such as “lynch” — have also changed?

If there truly is a lynching, it’s an all-out assault on the minds of Americans who blindly eat the words fed to them by mainstream media. The Left is feeding its followers a full course of falsehoods while depriving them of the food for thought that is the truth.
