i think kamala harris said jussie smollett was the victim of a modern day lynching.ump rallies remind her of lynchings. cuomo, just said last week on a radio show, the "n" word. not to mention bill maher said the "n" word last year. i do believe it was barack obama who just endorsed someone in black face in canada. but the point is for democrats to get on their high horse today and lecture other people about racially charged rhetoric or historically insensitive language is so preposterous. they need to look themselves in the mirror and just ask themselves am i total hypocrite? because i don't care when my side uses this language or when i myself use this language. i only try to weaponize this language to hurt the opposing party. and that's all that's going on here. >> juan: all right, so, dagen, part of what jesse was saying, which was a powerful argument, lynching is not a constitutional process but, impeachment is a constitutional process by which, you know, the congress holds a powerful executive to account for any kind of wrongdoing. so, why the analogy? >> he us
