మానవ హక్కుల ఉల్లంఘనకు పాల్పడుతున్నారంటా జింబాబ్వేపై అమెరికా ఆంక్షలు విధించింది. ఈ నిర్ణయం వల్ల దేశ ఆర్థిక వ్యవస్థ దెబ్బతింటుందంటూ జింబాబ్వే ఆరోపించింది. ఈ నేపథ్యంలో ఆంక్షలను నిరసిస్తూ అక్టోబర్ 25న జాతీయ సెలవు దినంగా ప్రకటించింది ఆ దేశ ప్రభుత్వం. అక్టోబర్ 25ను 'ఆంక్షల వ్యతిరేక దినోత్సవం' గా జరుపుకుంటామని వెల్లడించింది. అగ్రరాజ్యం నిర్ణయాన్ని వ్యతిరేకిస్తూ దేశ ప్రజలందరూ నిరసన తెలపాలని ప్రభుత్వం కోరింది.

జింబాబ్యే అధ్యక్షుడు ఎమెర్సన్ మనన్గగ్వాతో సహా ప్రభుత్వాధికారులు మానవ హక్కుల ఉల్లంఘనకు పాల్పడ్డారన్న ఆరోపణలతో అమెరికా ఆంక్షలు విధించింది. తమ ఆర్థిక వ్యవస్థ పతనమవటానికి అగ్రరాజ్యం విధించిన ఆంక్షలే కారణమని ఆ దేశ అధ్యక్షుడు ఆరోపించారు.

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Hogan Gidley, White House Deputy Press Secretary:
"The president was clearly articulating the way he feels about the way you guys have been treating him from day one. If you want to talk about what the president has actually done for the African-American community, I'd love to have that conversation because there are because there are many, there are many things, there are many things he has done. There are many things there are many things.  Impeachment, impeachment in this particular instance, he is receiving no due process, as many of you know. Every single one of your reports start with behind closed doors, comma. He is not receiving due process. We all are aware of the situation and in which Democrats are taking him behind closed doors. Releasing selective things, not in context, trying to attack and destroy this president. The fact is, he has been relentlessly ... the fact is he has been relentlessly attacked by the mainstream media since before he took office. That's what the president's talking about here.
(Reporter: Do you understand why every African American in this country is furious right now?)
What the president has done for the African-American community is something no other president has been able to accomplish, in my lifetime.
(Reporter: You can't understand why they are upset?)
People are upset about President Trump's words all of the time."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Hogan Gidley, White House spokesman:
"(Reporter:  Why doesn't the president tweet about the economy, about his accomplishments? Why does he keep going back to racial animus?)
I don't understand. In what way?
(Reporter:Lynching. Why is he including that in his tweet? He does it intentionally. He does it repeatedly. He goes back to these dark times in our history. Why?)
He's not comparing himself to those dark. He's not comparing himself to those dark times. Let's be very clear about what he's doing. He is receiving zero due process from Democrats on the Hill. That's what he's talking about. It's very clear and you guys ... It is. It is.
(Reporter: It is a Constitutionally enshrined process.)
It is very clear, you understand as well as I do, that whether it was Nixon or whether was Clinton, everyone was given due process in this situation, but they refused to give it to Donald Trump."

7.SOUNDBITE (English) Hogan Gidley, White House spokesman:
"(Reporter: Do you disagree with Senator Scott?)
What did, read Senator Scott.  What did Senator Scott say?
(Reporter: He said  he would not have used that word?)
Well, but look, Senator Graham said it was a perfect word. The fact is, many people disagree.
(Reporter: Senator Scott is the only African-American Republican.)
Right, and he is one of my friends. I've known him now for over a decade.
(Reporter: But he said it is not a good choice of words? Do you agree it is not a good choice of words?)
But, people disagree with what President Trump says all the time. I would urge people to focus on what he's accomplished for the American people. Everything, he every everything he says gets scrutinized and picked apart by both sides. But the fact is, the accomplishments he's had for the American people, whether it's African-American unemployment, Asian American unemployment, Hispanic American unemployment, whether you're white, black, brown, red, it doesn't matter. His policies have lifted all the boats in this country. And that is the story. Thank you everybody."

STORYLINE:
White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley is defending President Donald Trump's comparison of the impeachment inquiry to a lynching, assigning the horrors of a deadly and racist chapter in U.S. history to a process laid out in the Constitution.
"The president was clearly articulating the way he feels about the way you guys have been treating him from day one, " Gidley told reporters in the White House driveway.
"People are upset about President Trump's words all of the time," Gidley added.
Trump's tweet enraged Congressional Democrats.
The highest-ranking African American in Congress, Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, said "that is one word no president ought to apply to himself."
Republicans legislators largely tried to put the focus on what they said was the unfair way in which Democrats are conducting the impeachment inquiry
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Trump's description was "pretty well accurate." He called the impeachment effort a "sham" and a "joke" because the president does not know the identity of his accuser, and the process is playing out in private.
Lynchings, or hangings, were used mostly by whites against black men in the South, beginning in the late 19th century amid rising racial tensions.
By comparing his possible impeachment to a lynching, Trump also likened Democrats to a lynch mob.
Under pressure over impeachment, blowback over his Syria policy and other issues, the Republican president tweeted Tuesday: "So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights.
"All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here — a lynching. But we will WIN!"
