Lindsey Graham has no idea why Trump saying he's being lynched is offensive

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham wholeheartedly agrees with Donald Trump's assessment that the House impeachment inquiry is the same as a lynching.

"Yeah, this is a lynching in every sense," Graham told reporters on Tuesday. "This is un-American."

When asked if he could understand why African Americans might be offended by the reference, Graham doubled-down on defending Trump's words.

"No, I think lynching is being seen as somebody taking the law in their own hands and out to get somebody for no good reason," Graham said.

Graham was reacting to Trump's words earlier in Tuesday where he described the House impeachment inquiry as a lynching.
