Senate Judiciary Committee chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defended his investigation into 2020 candidate Joe Biden on Monday after Biden, with whom Graham has a decades-long friendship, slammed the senator for the probe.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again; it isn’t that anyone has any sort of hold over Graham, or is blackmailing him or anything like that. This is simply who Graham is–a craven political opportunist who prizes his own hold on power above any ideology, ethical standard, or personal relationship he may have. He is a sniveling worm crawling on his belly through Washington’s dirtiest and darkest corners, wriggling his spineless body into the narrowest rhetorical crevasses.
It’s not a senator’s job to do dirty work for a president. Congress is a co-equal branch. The president is his peer, not his boss. Those tapes they have on Miz Lindsey must be something.
Though saying this might be suggesting that Graham favors (political) sex acts, it’s rather interesting that he doesn’t remember that he wasn’t so submissive to Trump in 2016.
