President Donald Trump threw yet another tantrum over his impeachment on Sunday evening, going so far as to claim that the 9/11 terrorists received more due process than him.
The House passed two articles of impeachment last month after weeks of hearings examining the evidence and listening to witness testimony, all of it damning.
Trump abused his power by seeking to extort Ukraine into opening a sham investigation to hurt his political rival ahead of the 2020 Election. He would then obstruct Congress by refusing to turn over documents and blocking witnesses from testifying.
House Republicans had their own chances to question witnesses. And Trump was even invited by House Democrats to testify.
Yet, Trump continues to claim he has been denied due process, and whined once again on Saturday evening, only this time he compared himself to the 9/11 terrorists.
“In the House, the President got less due process than the 9-11 terrorists got. This is a corrupt process?” Mark Levin @marklevinshow “Very much so!” @RepDougCollins @FoxNews

Again, Trump could have testified during the hearings and he could have allowed his officials to testify instead of blocking them. He can’t seriously accuse House Democrats of not giving him a chance to defend himself when he’s the one who blocked witnesses and refused to hand over documents that he says prove he is innocent.
It’s also galling that he compared himself to the 9/11 terrorists, all of whom were killed on September 11, 2001, when the airplanes they hijacked crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field. In fact, they escaped due process because they died and will never be held accountable for their heinous crimes.
Twitter users mocked Trump for the comparison and slammed him for being a crybaby.

let’s unFox this tweet:
* you were invited to testify but you chose instead to whine on twitter
* you were asked to submit documents but you chose instead to whine on twitter
* your flunkies were asked to testify but you forbid them to and chose instead to whine on twitter— Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) January 20, 2020
In the House, Donald Trump got a lot more due process than the Central Park 5 whom he falsely accused of rape and paid the New York Times to publicly call for their brutal executions. Still, to this day, Trump has not apologized for his heinous actions.

The 9/11 terrorists all died along with the 3,000+ people they murdered, you idiot.
If you’re comparing yourself to the 9/11 terrorists, you’re losing.
Bigly.

Due Process: “A person is entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard at a hearing when they have life, liberty. or property at stake.”
On Nov 17, 2019 Pres. Trump was given notice he can testify in congress. He refused.

Trump’s tweet is absolutely insulting to the 9/11 victims and their families and he should ashamed of himself for daring to invoke the terrorists in his desperate scheme to get away with his crimes.
