Lindsey Graham's warning about Trump re-surfaces after report on president slurring fallen troops

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A five-year-old tweet from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is getting renewed attention amid reports that President Donald Trump once disparaged dead American soldiers as "losers" and "suckers."

The tweet in question came shortly after Trump attacked the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for getting captured and tortured by enemy forces during the Vietnam War, and it slammed the future president for showing no appreciation for the sacrifices made by service members.

"At the heart of [Trump's] statement is a lack of respect for those who have served," he wrote. "A disqualifying characteristic to be president."

In the years since the tweet, however, Graham has evolved to become one of Trump's most loyal defenders, despite the fact that the president has continued attacking McCain even after his passing in 2018.

Graham: Russians hacked my campaign email account

Wed December 14, 2016

Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Wednesday his campaign email account was hacked by Russians -- adding that the US needs to work together to stop this from happening.

"I do believe the Russians hacked into the (Democratic National Committee). I do believe they hacked into (John) Podesta's email account. They hacked into my campaign account," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room." "I do believe that all the information released publicly hurt Clinton and didn't hurt Trump. I don't think the outcome of the election is in doubt. What we should do is not turn on each other but work as one people to push back on Russia."
He added he doesn't believe that the hacking affected the elections.

6. I don't think it has to be Russia.

Lindsey reeks of hypocrisy. He has the look of those preachers who have closets full of compromising behavior. Anyone in the Trump orbit could have the goods on Lindsey.

7. It doesn't matter.

Who cares what happened to Lindsey Graham? It doesn't matter. We know that he is a hypocrite and he does not deserve to be re-elected. Jaime Harrison deserves this Senate seat. I think Jaime Harrison has a very good chance at unseating Lindsey Graham. Also hoping for an Amy McGrath win over Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. Donate if you can.
