Graham Leans Into Laughable Call For Healing In Assuring He Still Stands By Trump | Talking Points Memo

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday took great pains to hammer into the GOP’s new line of ludicrously calling for unity, following the House’s vote last week to impeach President Trump for a second time for “incitement of insurrection,” as he expressed his vehement opposition to the upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

He has zero credibility and the corporate media needs to stop allowing him to distribute Trump propaganda.

I’m more interested in knowing what info Rump has on Lindsey. Ever since that momentous golf game after McCain passed, Graham’s tongue has been firmly planted between two fat cheeks.

He is insufferable. Healing can only take place when Trump and all around him admit that they lied to America. His entire presidency was fire hose of lies but the big lie was claiming the election was stolen by Joe Biden. 81 million Americans voted for Joe Biden. Lindsey and his cohorts were ready to disenfranchise a majority of the electorate for a lying, corrupt, criminal. Be gone Senator!

Lindsey, nobody cares that your gay. It’s 2021 for God’s sake; unless you’ve killed someone or molested a child let the pictures come out and free yourself.

On Sunday, Graham formalized his unconditional loyalty to Trump in a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that argued “the Senate’s attempt to disqualify a President from future office who is no longer in office, would be an unconstitutional act of political vengeance.”

How can something that’s literally in the Constitution be unconstitutional? Not to mention it would take 17 Republicans agreeing to make that happen.

This is probably Graham carrying Trump’s water, yet again. It looks as if Trump is deathly afraid of being the first President in history impeached and convicted. And, even worse, losing the fig leaf of another Presidential run to grift the griftables.

“Unity” is a word found in Republican English that means forget all the treasonous shit I said, all the insurrectionist actions I took, and all the bad faith that defines my politics.

I’ll ‘heal’ when you motherfkers are held accountable for what you’ve done. Once that is taken care of we can move on to ‘unity’.

Is it possible that you just provided an explanation of his disingenuous behavior?

I have zero interest in “healing”. You enabled and abetted the destruction of so many of our institutions and standing in the world. It is going to take decades to repair the damage. Until you acknowledge the fact that you allowed that to happen and will not let it happen again, clean house, and even then I will never trust any of you assholes again. Fuck your healing. I’m pissed off.

No healing until you apologize and the entire GOP admits that you all lied about the election.

No reconciliation without truth, no peace without justice. This is entirely on the GOP. You have to act. We don’t have to do shit as far as healing the country goes.

Graham in 1999:

“I think that’s what they meant by ‘high crimes.’ Doesn’t even have to be a crime. It’s just when you start using your office and you’re acting in a way that hurts people, you have committed a high crime.”

History will judge us harshly, as it should, if we do not rise to the occasion of the historic moment in our history.

How is it Lindsey Graham is getting more press coverage than Joe Biden? Did Graham get elected president in November or why exactly is he considered relevant in any way, shape or form? Could we maybe mix up the coverage with some other venal scumbags? Surely Devin Nunes has been up to something stupid lately. How about Sarah Palin?

Oh my yes, let’s come together and heal as a nation, and not bicker and argue over who killed who.

Now of course there’s humor in this situation, but it’s a rich tapestry part of which is my God how contemptible can that little weasel be? How many times can you turn your coat, cry wolf, stab yet another person or group in the back, betray your oath, say what you audience want to hear, be laughably obvious, I could go on but you get the idea? How many times, Lindsey? Aren’t you ashamed enough yet to just stop doing this to yourself?

It’s just here - my news feed is full of Biden.

Although the Dallas News opinion page is full today of nothing but outrage at Ted Cruz and calls for him to resign.
