Joe Biden apologizes when footage of him blasting 1998 Clinton impeachment as a ‘partisan lynching’ is unearthed – after he attacked Donald Trump for calling this year’s saga a ‘lynching’

  • Joe Biden has apologized for using the word ‘lynching’ during a 1998 interview about Bill Clinton’s impeachment
  • Biden lambasted Trump who used the same word calling him ‘abhorrent and despicable’ as the president compared his impeachment inquiry to a ‘lynching’
  • Biden tweeted: ‘Impeachment is not ‘lynching’, it is part of our Constitution’
  • The 2020 presidential hopeful was called out for his comments after a 1998 CNN interview he did resurfaced showing him making the same comparison
  • Speaking on Bill Clinton’s impeachment probe Biden had said: ‘History is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching’

Joe Biden has apologized for using the word ‘lynching’ when describing the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998.

His apology comes after the former Vice President lambasted President Donald Trump for also using the exact same word as he described his current impeachment process.

‘This wasn’t the right word to use and I’m sorry about that,’ Biden wrote in a tweet late on Tuesday night.

Biden used the word during a 1998 CNN interview as he defended then President Clinton on-air.

But the former VP went on to imply that unlike him, the current President used the word to ‘deliberately’ evoke racist connotations.

‘Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lynching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily,’ Biden implored.

Biden is now coming under fire for his double standard after he earlier described Donald Trump as ‘despicable’ for comparing the impeachment inquiry to ‘a lynching’.
