South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) said Friday that Black people and immigrants can achieve success in his state, they “just need to be conservative, not liberal.”
How could he possibly be so tone deaf and stupid? It boggles the mind.
“No plausible public health or scientific rationale justifies proceeding with Senate Judiciary Committee hearings next week,” the Democratic members of the Judiciary Committe wrote in a letter to Graham on Friday. “We need not proceed in such a reckless and blind fashion.”
Easy! You can do it when you’re conservative.

I’m pretty sure Lindsay would never deign to whitesplain in such an egregious way if he were in his right mind. Probably just the Covid talking.

liberaluppity.”
FIFY!
Graham highlighted Sen. Tim Scott (R) – another South Carolina senator, who is also the only Black Republican senator – as well as former Gov. Nikki Haley, as people of color who rose to success at least in part due to sharing that state’s “values.”
That is insane.
“I’m not going to live my life differently than you have to live yours,” Graham said, in an apparent reference to Americans who work alongside colleagues who have not been tested for the virus according to the Associated Press.
So why are colleges trying to test students? Come up with a plan to make sure that those that test positive are isolated from the of the student population?
Graham:
I have a caveat that Lindsey should have used:
“They can be successful if they’ll just quit throwing themselves under the boots of police officers.”
“For those of you who work for a living, you can’t do what Mr. Harrison has demanded tonight,” he added.
Are we supposed to believe that Sen Graham “works for a living”? But we were promised free and easy testing for everybody months ago.
I’m also doubtful that
the Senate physician had told him further testing was not needed.
Maybe Lindsay, like Trump, got a good dose of dex to treat his COVID infection. Either that or he is a fucking stupid racist.

Racist translator: Diversity is okay as long as you’re trying to be like me.
“Why, quit it, y’all! I’m not racist! I only hate the Negroes because they’re Democrats!”
So, “further testing is not needed”, which means that anyone who has not shown up to be positive at this point in time cannot get it. Right??
Wasn’t there something Trump said in the last day or so about being “clean”? I think that we’ve moved into “If you get COVID it’s God’s judgement on you, as in you’re dirty and not worthy of God’s protection.”
The premise of Isabel Wilkerson’s new book “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent” seems to be in play here.
Strom Thurmond from the grave wants his Dixiecrat cred back. Lindsey wants only the “good ones”. Talk a look at South Carolinas rankings in various metrics be they poverty, education, health and mortality rates or economic mobility. Its mostly in the 40’s. Or just Google the corridor of shame.
It could be both, but it’s definitely the latter.
I sure do hope that reporters local and national start asking about this statement. Because Lindsey seems to be saying that he’s done with a two party system. That if you don’t think like me, and my party’s political philosophy then you’re less than nothing.
I don’t think his handlers can claim that he was joking.
