Showing Original Post only (View all)Lindsey Graham to Republicans backing Harris: "What the hell are you doing?" [View all]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) lambasted fellow Republicans crossing party lines to support Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday, asking, "What the hell are you doing?"
Why it matters: Graham's rebuke comes as several prominent Republicans, some of whom worked in former President Trump's White House, have lined up behind the Democratic ticket or have vowed they will not support the GOP nominee in his third quest for the presidency.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who joined Harris on the campaign trail, and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, are two GOP stalwarts who ditched partisan affiliations to back the vice president, warning of dangers they believe Trump poses.
What he's saying: Graham, in a testy back-and-forth with NBC News' Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press," questioned why Republicans are supporting the candidate he considers "the most radical nominee in the history of American politics."
Graham asked: "What are you doing? You are trying to convince me that Donald Trump's rhetoric is the danger to this country?" He continued, "The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris ... I can't take four more years of this crap."
Zoom in: Graham was questioned about Retired U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley's characterization of Trump as "a fascist to the core" in journalist Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, "War."
Graham, who has previously praised Milley, said he thinks Trump's former top general is wrong. "General Milley, you have a right to your opinion, but I don't fear Donald Trump," he said. "I fear what's going on in the world today. If you want the world to stay on fire, vote for her."

OP
Graham has never been anything more than a snake in the grass. He's never had any patriotism.
