Lindsey Graham Tries to Rebuke Democrats: “You Think I’m in Trump’s Pocket”


Senator Lindsey Graham inadvertently gave his critics a soundbite on Thursday while trying to shame Democrats. The South Carolina Republican was defending himself from Democratic criticism.

Former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Robert Mueller’s investigation. Graham chairs the committee and he was pursuing the GOP position that the probe was improper.

Democrats blasted their Republican colleagues as “political errand boys” who are “bolstering conspiracy theories” about a plot against the 2016 Trump campaign.

“I know you don’t agree with what I’m doing. You think I’m in Trump’s pocket. I get all that. It’s not lost on me of what you think and I’m sad because I like you all.”

“But if you expect me to punt, forget it. We’re not going to punt. We’re not going to have a rule of law for Republicans and a rule of law for Democrats.”


Critics have accused Graham of pursuing unfounded allegations of a plot or coup against the Trump campaign.

You went to the White House for lunch, and insisted in Chick-fil-A instead of hamberders. Totally your own man.

I think you are so far up Trump's ass that you have lost touch with reality.

I think you have supported Trump to the detriment of this country.

I think you are unpatriotic.

I think you are a threat to the very foundation of this country.

I know you are a liar because I have heard you tell lies.

Fuck off you EVIL piece of shit !!!!!!

He also looks like he's been to the botox booth unless he's all puffy from to many tanning bed sessions.
