You misspelled “ass”. Graham is probably the #1 brown noser in the GQP…

I think Lindsey knows full well that neither talking about trump’s past or his future is a good campaign plan.

From the Article:

[“Earlier in the interview, Graham also stood by his previous remarks of arguing that the GOP ‘can’t grow without Trump’.”]

Trump will not change about the Big Lie and all that goes with it.

OT:

3:32 p.m. The White House was burning up the phone lines to Canadian government officials who, the Americans said, assured the Biden administration that swift action is being taken, the Star’s Tonda MacCharles reports.

“Canadian authorities intend to reopen the Ambassador Bridge today after completing necessary safety checks. We stand ready to support our Canadian partners wherever useful in order to ensure the restoration of the normal free flow of commerce can resume,” said Biden’s homeland security advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall.

In a statement, she said she spoke with Trudeau’s national security and intelligence advisor Jody Thomas late Saturday and expressed “appreciation for the decisive law enforcement efforts that are underway,” and discussed “the imperative of taking swift, strong action and deterring future blockades.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg spoke with their Canadian counterparts on Sunday and were told that “most protesters have been cleared from the Ambassador Bridge, barriers are being removed, and the corridor is being secured.”

The White House statement said Canadian authorities are taking “proactive steps” to prevent further disruptions.

From the article:

Soon after, Graham pivoted to bothsides-ing the situation by alluding to Kamala Harris’ tweet in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020 that included a link to a bail fund for protesters in Minnesota. Graham has rolled out that same flimsy argumentbefore over the past year.

“When Kamala Harris and her associates and the people that work for her, her staffers, raised money to bail out the rioters who hit cops in the head and burned down stores — I didn’t like that either,” Graham told CBS.

Excerpt:

Harris did not personally bail out rioters or have any other interaction with the fund, according to its Greg Lewin, its interim executive director.

At the American Bail Coalition, Executive Director Jeff Clayton noted that most of those involved in the rioting after Floyd’s death were bailed out before donations began piling up at the fund.

“For the president to win in 2024, he’s got to talk about the future.”

He did. He told us he was going to pardon a bunch of unrepentant goons and thugs. Maybe he should go back to lying bigly about the past, Lindsay?
