In a post to Twitter this Friday, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) lamented that President Trump is being "persecuted" by the Democrats' impeachment efforts against him.
"What’s the difference between prosecution and persecution?" Graham wrote. "When [Speaker Pelosi] drives a highly partisan process devoid of due process denying the president his day in court and trampling on the constitutional separation of powers."
In a followup tweet, Graham offered another answer to his rhetorical question:
"When the Senate Minority Leader insists on denying [President Trump] the ability to go to court and exercise Executive Privilege regarding Senate Democrats’ witness lists."
Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of people who disagreed with his sentiment:
