After Slamming Trump, Biden Apologizes For Referring To 'Partisan Lynching' In 1998
Within a span of a few hours, former vice president and current 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden both condemned President Trump's use of the word "lynching" to describe the impeachment inquiry — and apologized for doing virtually the same thing more than 20 years ago.
Biden's apology came Tuesday night after a 1998 CNN video clip began making the rounds on social media. In the video, Biden called the Republican-led impeachment of then-President Bill Clinton a "partisan lynching."

Flashback: Top Dems, including Biden and Nadler, called Clinton impeachment 'lynching'
Even as top Democrats rushed to condemn President Trump's comparison of their impeachment inquiry to a "lynching," footage and news reports have emerged showing several top Democrats referring matter-of-factly to Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings as a "lynching" in 1998.
Among those Democrats are two African-American representatives still serving in the House, as well as House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., and presidential contender Joe Biden.
Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., called Clinton's impeachment a "persecution" and a "political lynching" on the House floor in 1998. And Danny Davis, D-Ill., condemned what he described as a "lynching in the People's House."
