GOP Rep. Compares Trump to Rapist, Murderer; Says He Deserves Due Process

Rep. Thornberry

Republican Representative Mac Thornberry compared President Trump to a rapist and a murderer today in an odd defense of the President.

“There's a reason we let murderers and robbers and rapists go free when their due process rights have been violated,” Thornberry explained, referring to the President on ABC’s This Week.

Mr. Thornberry was defending the GOP’s complaints about the impeachment process, claiming the House has been unfair to Mr. Trump, comparing it to a “kangaroo court.”

The House of Representatives votes on Articles of Impeachment while the trial to remove a President actually takes place in the Senate.
