President Trump on Tuesday characterized the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry as a “lynching.”

“So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights,” the president wrote on Twitter. “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching. But we will WIN!”

In another tweet, he commended the Republicans who voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, although Democrats blocked the resolution in a 218-185 party-line vote Monday evening.

“Thank you Republicans. 185 out of 185 present voted for ‘US’ last night. Really good!,” Trump posted.

Rep. Andy Briggs (R-Ariz.) introduced the resolution last week over Schiff’s handling of the impeachment inquiry.

Republicans said the California Democrat “manufactured a false retelling” of Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a House hearing last month.

The July 25 conversation, revealed by a whistleblower’s complaint, sparked the impeachment inquiry.

During a cabinet meeting at the White House on Monday, Trump implored Republicans to more forcefully defend him in the inquiry.

“The Republicans have to get tougher and fight,” he said. “We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight, because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party before the election.”
