It's a duck! It's a witch! It's hyperbole! Lawmakers' colorful impeachment comparisons

US lawmakers have deployed hyperbole to compare the impeachment process against President Trump to the Salem Witch Trials, the crucifixion of Jesus, the trial of Socrates, the bombing of Pearl Harbor Stalin, a lynching and more.

Murphy's fellow Democratic senator from Connecticut, Richard Blumenthal, said he'd received the packages as well.

"I don't like many Jesus comparisons," Conway said, adding,"I think it probably, on a day like today, is one of the least important comments made.""When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers," Loudermilk said from the House floor."During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than Democrats have afforded this president in this process.

"We do not hate President Trump," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said."But we do know that President Trump will continue to threaten the nation's security, democracy and constitutional system if he is allowed to remain in office." Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., drew a direct comparison between Wednesday’s impeachment vote and the bombing of Pearl Harbor — saying that they are both dates that"will live in infamy."
