“We don’t have a Dr. Fauci problem,” Graham said. “We need to be focusing on doing things that get us to where we need to go. So I have all the respect in the world for Dr. Fauci. I think any effort to undermine him is not going to be productive, quite frankly.”

No one with functioning mind should have problems with Fauci

Words words and more words Miss Lindsey. They mean nothing. You have demonstrated your fealty. Your words reek of desperate fear of losing your Senate seat.

Can’t argue with the lack of a Fauci problem… But will Lindsey admit that we have a GOP problem, the rot planted by Regan has gone so far now that the only thing that can help is total immolation.

Has Graham RSVPed for Jacksonville yet?

I’m betting that the only reason Graham is sane talking here is that his poll numbers against Harrison are tanking.

Lindsey is desperately trying to look reasonable now, because polling shows his seat is not safe. He’s been kissing Trumpty Dumpty’s ass for so long that he’s tainted, and this is his way of trying to remove some of the stain.

Trump said, “I don’t always agree with him.”

What fluke of the universe in any way qualifies Trump to agree or disagree with ANY scientist?!

He should try bleach, and maybe ultraviolet light - I hear they can work wonders…

I’ll trust Graham when he is out of office.

And under arrest.

Pearls to the left of him, fainting couches to the right of him, straws to clutch at just barely in reach… what’s a failing and flailing incumbent to do?

His uncle was a prof at MIT so Trump thinks he’s smart by association. Of course that is not a smart thought to think but then again actually being smart by association is not a thing.

…it may, however, be a relative thing.

I’ve always said it’s like it’s like he’s halfway rational on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a wingnut weasel MWF, and today it’s literally true. He’s been this way for years, and even as a Trump toady the pattern holds. Maybe he thinks he’s mending fences with the reality-based community or maybe he’s just a mass of inner conflicts if you know what I mean AND I THINK YOU DO. :wink:

I think he’s tried bleach on his hair. As for the UV light source, I don’t want to know how intimate he gets with inanimate objects.
