In all fairness to Lindsey Graham...

...he can hardly be blamed for contacting Brad Raffensperger the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia to ask him to commit election fraud. The incalculable odds of actually running into an honest Republican in the State of Georgia have to be astronomically small if not all but impossible.

Graham was just playing the odds and somehow found an actual honest Republican in a state where the two current Republican Senators Perdue and Loeffler have called for Raffensperger to resign for basically not disenfranchising enough Democrats for Trump to win the state, while Loeffler and her husband were accused of insider trading related to her early briefings on the COVID-19 pandemic.

So in all fairness to Graham, what are the odds of accidentally running into an honest Republican in Georgia. Maybe someone here from Georgia knows one other than Raffensperger?

This is the way Republicans operate today. Assume all Republicans are as corrupt as you are. An assumption not unfounded....

Just fucking great, i just committed attempted election fraud by trying to have the election overturned and I had to find the only honest Republican in the state to try to do this.

Lindsey had no idea he was going to be talking to an honest Republican who takes his job seriously and plans to *gasp* do his job properly. It's probably been so long since he encountered the like, he just assumed otherwise. Whoops! And we are all (except Lindsey and trump) so pleasantly surprised!

What are the odds of finding an honest principled republican? Lindsey played the odds and lost.

Lindsey certainly wasn't Trump's ass kisser in the beginning. So, what gives?
