'What The Hell?' Lindsey Graham Melts Down Defending 'Fascist' Trump during MTP

Crooks and Liars - 'What The Hell?' Lindsey Graham Melts Down Defending 'Fascist' Trump

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) threw an angry on-air fit Sunday after retired Gen. Mark Milley called former President Donald Trump "fascist to the core."

By David Edwards — October 20, 2024

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) threw an angry on-air fit Sunday after retired Gen. Mark Milley called former President Donald Trump "fascist to the core."

During an interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker quoted the retired four-star general from a recent Bob Woodward book.

"He told Bob Woodward in a new book, quote, no one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump. Now I realize he's a total fascist, a fascist to the core," Welker explained. "Why shouldn't voters trust Donald Trump's top general on this, Senator?"

"You know what I fear?" Graham exclaimed. "I fear four more years of Biden-Harris policy."

THAT is his fear. And 4 more of Harris with unlimited power and a House and Senate can bring it all out into the light, and bring all the suits in for a little Justice. “Get up off the fucking fainting couch you pig”.

Everyone knows about Lindsey's persuasions already. The pix must be damning.

* and his doughy ass wouldn't last very long in prison (if what I've seen on HBO's "Oz" is any indication.) Apparently it goes beyond embarrassing and crosses over into Gaetz territory, I've heard somewhere on line. So, that's what people are saying, it's unclear how much of it is true. It may be false, but his behavior indicates that the has something to hide.

The question was “"Why shouldn't(sic) voters trust Donald Trump…?”

And Graham pulled one of politics oldest tricks - he changed the subject. This is the fallacy of “the red herring.

Didn’t see it, but let me guess - Welker didn’t jump down his throat for doing that

flip-flopping whenever he feels his OWN protection (or protector) is threatened. He makes me puke.
