Hey, remember when Roger Stone said he was being "lynched"?
After Roger Stone suggested his indictment in Robert Muellers probe is a present day lynching, NYU law professor Melissa Murray suggested that he and other Republicans who throw around that term should learn about the lynchings and violence African-Americans face in the south.
This is a lynching, Stone began today, during an appearance on Infowars with Alex Jones tdaoy. This is a legal lynching of me, because I appear on Infowars, because Im friends with Alex Jones, because I support Donald Trump and I supported him for president, and I still support him, because I helped take down the evil queen, the foul-mouthed, short-tempered, self-centered clepto-cat Hillary Clinton.
Murray responded to Stones hyperbolic claim by telling the following to MSNBCs Ari Melber:
So lynching, this is straight out of the GOP playbook. Anytime anyone runs into hot water, its a high-tech lynching, its a legal lynching. These people need to go down to Alabama and see Bryan Stevensons museum where we would learn about the lynching and violence that black people all across the south experienced. This is the justice process working, and probably working too slowly for most Americans.
