Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday expressed his concerns with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) decision to begin reopening businesses in the Peach State at the end of the month.
Miss Lindsey backs the reopening of South Carolina, however, mostly due to the possible delay of the Spring Cotillion Season, an unmitigated tragedy if ever there was one. Once a deb, always a deb.
Miss Lindsey is a fascist boot-licker, but he is NOT stupid. Unlike Kemp - he knows the likely result of this is a raising infection level which cuts short any economic revival Kemp is hoping for, resulting in more economic damage and a lot of deaths of georgians. Miss Lindsey can also read polls showing that it is the old who are most freaked out by Covid-19, and old folks vote.
Miss Lindsey is on the ballot this fall. Miss Lindsay knows that whatever happens to Trump happens, but he also knows that if it gets too out of control in GA, and it spills over to South Carolina, well that might cost him reelection. And Miss Lindsey is only in it for Miss Lindsey.
And he’s hedging his bets. If it’s not a complete tragedy he can say “see I was right to open…” and if it goes badly he can pull out the “too soon, too fast…”
