Tuesday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin addressed the controversy ginned up by Democrats in response to President Donald Trump's description of his impeachment as a "lynching."

After using the term in a tweet on Tuesday morning, Trump came under fire from Democrats who took issue with the president using a term that invoked such a dark chapter in America's racial history.

However, Levin pointed out on his program, "When Bill Clinton was facing impeachment, a number of Democrats went to the microphones on the floor of the House and said that Bill Clinton was facing a lynching."

Levin played audio from the House floor of three Democrats and read a news report of now-House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., using the term.

"This is a pseudo-event — a non-event — which the Democrats and the media and the media and the Democrats, once and the same, are using yet again to attack the president of the United States and try and drive down his popularity, to try and create a caricature of the man, that he's a racist," Levin said. "When in fact that word has been used and was used repeatedly during the Clinton impeachment period."

"This is how the media and Democrat mob mentality work," the host concluded.

After the segment, video surfaced of current Democratic presidential candidate and then-Senator Joe Biden using the same word to describe Clinton's impeachment.

Listen:

In a move that appears to lack even a scrap of self-awareness or short-term memory, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats used the panel’s first hearing after the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to complain about “partisanship” in the process.

It was a relatively quiet hearing in comparison to the “intergalactic freak show” that America watched with bated breath over the last few weeks, but there were some incredibly ironic disagreement on the panel.

That disagreement took the form of a debate over what is known as the “blue slip” or “blue slipping.” Senators from a judicial nominee’s state of residence are asked to write an opinion either approving or disapproving the confirmation of said nominee. And it’s been observed less and less during the past year, which has given Democrats very few options for obstructing President Trump’s judicial transformation efforts.

In this this specific instance, two Sixth Circuit judicial nominees (Eric Murphy and Chad Readler) did not get the blue slip approval of Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, for brazenly partisan reasons but were still being moved forward anyway.

Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Vt., all spoke up against the procedural snub. Booker lamented how it contributed to more “partisanship” in the confirmation process; Leahy said it increased the “politicization of the judicial branch,” and Whitehouse called the blue slip “a healthy check on executive power.”

However, as Mike Lee correctly explained to the rest of the committee, blue slips are not required by the Constitution. And having them before proceeding with a nomination is neither a Senate nor a Judiciary Committee rule. They are a custom and a courtesy that he said has seen “at best inconsistent application” over the years.

So, just to be clear about what’s happening here:

After weeks of the most brazenly partisan and cynical Supreme Court confirmation fight thus far in U.S. history, after Senate Democrats who pre-emptively vowed to oppose a nominee before he was named tried to destroy a nominee’s reputation and career without any corroborating evidence, after those same Democrats demand that the regular order of the confirmation process be upended so that their demands could be met, Senate Democrats on the very same committee at its very next meeting decided to lecture their Republican colleagues on partisanship and courtesy in the judicial confirmation process.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Equal opportunity doxxing? …

Facebook shuts down Russian fueled ”Resisters” … Yesterday CNN reported that Facebook took down a network of pages by Russian trolls with the goal of influencing the 2018 mid-term elections.  Most of the pages referenced by CNN appear to be left-leaning in nature. This includes a page called “Resisters” that goaded real life activists to organize anti-Trump rallies. This goes to prove once again that like 2016, Russians weren’t trying to influence one side over another in the election but to sow discord among Americans.

Based on the current state of American Politics, the Russians were extremely successful.

Flashback … You’ll remember that in February CNN sent reporter Drew Griffin to Florida to doxx an elderly woman for sharing something from Russian trolls on Facebook. The woman was a pro-Trump activist who attended an event that was set up by the trolls. This was especially rich because CNN promoted an anti-Trump event that we later learned was also promoted by Russian trolls in the weeks after the 2016 election. Here’s what I wrote in February:

Where’s the CNN reporter interviewing the CNN producer for falling for a Russian-organized anti-Trump rally?

The woman told CNN’s reporter, Drew Griffin, that the people who attended the rally “were at my meetings. They were all Trump supporters. Okay.” The Daily Caller reported that around a dozen people attended the rally, according to pictures on the Team Trump Broward Facebook group page.

Around a dozen people attended the rally CNN sent a reporter to Florida to uncover. An estimated 10,000 people attended the rally organized by Russians that CNN promoted.

Note the part about the woman saying the people were at her rallies, at her events. It seems that’s the same sort of thing that happened with the “Resisters” group Facebook just shut down.

Facebook said the "Resisters" page, which organized the "No Unite the Right 2" event, recruited real activists who "unwittingly helped build interest in" the event" and posted information about transportation, materials, and locations so people could get to the protests."

Facebook said it has contacted the real activists.

These events were widely attended according to CNN.

Next week's event was not the only event the pages created. The pages created about 30 events since May 2017 and "The largest had approximately 4,700 accounts interested in attending, and 1,400 users said that they would attend," Facebook said.

That seems like more than the dozen or so that showed up to the event promoted by the woman that CNN doxxed.

Equal opportunity? … Look, I’m not a fan of doxxing. But the left-wing media has often said that exposing people involved in stories is “just journalism.” That was the excuse for doxxing the elderly woman in Florida. So I have a question for the folks at CNN. Will you be sending a camera crew to the people identified by Facebook as having been duped by the Russians? Or were they promoting your agenda and are your allies, so they get a free pass?

I won’t be holding my breath for a response.
