We all know AOC and this crowd are a bunch of communists, they hate Israel, they hate our own country…

Unfucking believable… This is a Senator… today’s GOP totally over the edge… they HAVE to go

“Is this their agenda?”

Yes, and rather than ask, you should just treat it as such and attack it as such incessantly. They want permanent white Christian hegemony and for the growing brown population to be re-subjugated. Period. SAY THAT.

NO MERCY, NO QUARTER.

Shorter version: “It’s totally okay to think these things. Just don’t say it out loud.”

I really did used to think there were aspects of Senator Graham which were faintly respectable, even if the whole package was not worth much more than a sack of warm sand. I no longer think that.

We know who they fear

It would be more expedient to say who and what what they don’t fear. It’s plenty clear on its face that Senator Graham fears even himself (the icky public secret part).

Jeezsus, they just throw shit out there that the base can glom onto irrespective of meaning or those pesky facts.

“We all know AOC and this crowd are a bunch of communists, they hate Israel, they hate our own country. They’re calling guards along our border, border patrol agents concentration camp guards,” Graham continued. “They accuse people who support Israel of doing it for the ‘benjamins.’ They’re anti-semitic. They’re anti-America. Don’t get down — aim higher. We don’t need to know anything about them personally. Talk about their policies.”

So **Joseph McCarthy is back?
Is it just me or does Gramn look funny in that interview, like it totally forced or something?

In the heavily post-fact universe the modern GOP inhabits, no words have any meaning beyond “this is good” or “this is bad”. Assign the appropriate adjectives so that we might conduct the Two Minutes’ Hate.

“Communists” as the lead-in insult is a dead giveaway Graham’s software is about 60 years old.

But comity is the most important thing, you know.

“We all know…communists…Israel…hate our own country…concentration camp…the ‘benjamins’…anti-semitic…anti-America.”

Does this trigger-word soup come with a half-sammich?

“Republicans have been quiet or have offered watered-down rebukes of President Trump for the tweets, widely considered racist and derogatory.”

Not “widely considered”, just racist and derogatory. No need to engage in the sort of some people say type games that Republicans use to duck responsibility for their words. Call a spade a spade and a racist a racist

Lindsey, you reprehensible POS. I don’t know WHAT Donnie has on you but it really must be something for you to be SUCH a 'humper…honest to God. You attack the ladies and double down on racism with screams of communism, hating Israel and whatever else nonsense you can toss. You are no American…you are a filthy piece of White Nationalist Trash.

Lindsey Graham must be channeling his inner Strom Thurmond. He’s just a act short of his infamous 1948 Dixiecrat speech and sexual assault of his family housekeeper and out of wedlock child.

They can’t come up with anything except “Communist?” And besides, don’t we all just love Dear Leader III now? That’s about the only place where “Communism” is a thing now. But I’m expecting these people to make some kind of sense. Silly me.
