President Donald Trump defended his use of the term "lynching" to describe the ongoing impeachment inquiry of his actions toward Ukraine, despite criticism that the term is not appropriate outside the context of racially charged hate crimes.

"It's a word that many Democrats have used, it's a word that many people have used over the years, but that is a word that's been used many times. Let me tell you something, the level of unfairness for a perfect conversation with the president of Ukraine, this was a perfect conversation," he told reporters at the White House on Friday.
Clarence Thomas, during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of his Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 1991, accused the committee of racism, referring to it as a "high-tech lynching."
Former Vice President and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden recently apologized for an October 1998 politically-charged comment where he said that the impeachment of President Bill Clinton could be seen as "partisan 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. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!" Trump tweeted on Tuesday.
