I feel like not enough has been made of Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs having dinner at the Trump hotel with Lindsey Graham before Biggs helped organize an assault on the U.S. Capitol?

1. Wow.

Traitors.

2. You stole my word. Wow. n/t

6. Me too. Just WOW! n/t

[olegramps]

85. I didn't know about this. That is why I treasure this board.

[flibbitygiblets]

107. Same 👆

[pwb]

3. Sedition at the highest levels.

There it is.

[C_U_L8R]

4. That's resignation worthy.

[thenelm1]

22. In a sane world, one would think.

It'll be fun seeing Graham's explanation of this.

The same Lindsey who whined to the Capitol police that they were not protecting him enough from the Proud Boys?

37. If The Proud Boys Are A Modern SA......

Does that make Linseed a modern day Ernst Roehm? And we all know how that ended!

[Alacritous Crier]

76. I see what you did there.😂

[llashram]

90. this

[BobTheSubgenius]

98. A nice analogy.

My feeling is that Ernst Roehm was more of a moderating influence on his peeps, though. A big part of the reason LG would never rise to that level is that he's about the worst orator imaginable.

[IcyPeas]

7. holy shit

what does he have to say about this?

[Deuxcents]

8. OMG

This shit is more invasive n goes farther than we can imagine. I’m wondering just how bad this can get and what we can do to stop this madness to destroy our democracy

[colorado_ufo]

105. We will show them what it actually means

to "drain the swamp."

[SledDriver]

10. Seems like this should be a bigger deal

[tblue37]

14. To be completely fair, it could be that Biggs just stopped by Linsey's table and asked for a picture

with him rather than being at dinner with him. Maybe LG doesn't even know who Biggs is.

But I suspect he does, whether he was eating with him or not.

[not fooled]

33. It looks like they are sitting in a booth

so less likely the a-holes just took a photo together.

[exboyfil]

56. Check their phone data

[SergeStorms]

53. I'm with you tblue37

It looks like the PB asshole is squatting down by the table, Lindsey is leaning in. Dressed like the PB asshole is I'm surprised they even let him in the place. If I thought there was a dinner meeting between them I'd be the first person to jump on this, but I believe it's just the PB asshole taking a selfie at Lindsey's table. It happens everywhere in DC.

[DemoTex]

11. I'm in SC .. tomorrow I will try to confirm this. Then ..

Then I’ll spread it far and wide. If true, this should bring the fluffy little weasel down for good.

[essme]

13. I am in NC; need help?

[moonscape]

28. Too bad it wasn't befor his reelection :(. n/t

[Whiskeytide]

36. Likely would have helped him. n/t

[msfiddlestix]

67. right on. thanks. I'd love to hear a report back.

12. That's the smile of the unpopular nerd in HS getting to hang out

with the captain of the FB team in a small town in SC.

I have seen those suckups my entire life. I grew up about a hundred miles from Lindsey.

That nasty little fucker.

[Tommymac]

52. Grew up in the same area. Agreed.

Those racist loser suckups, i.e. 'Southern Gentlemen' types are why I left the Deep South 40 years ago and have no desire to ever live there again.

[smirkymonkey]

78. +1000

Spot on. That dirty little traitor needs to go.

[monmouth4]

15. Stupid hat on inside a restaurant. Geez. n/t

20. So "heaven" is killing innocent creatures. Figures.

[UTUSN]

21. PETA needed to be on duty on Insurrection Day for the dudes wearing fur pelts.

[Generic Brad]

24. That's quite a fantasy

There is no way Ted Cruz will ever get a real taste of heaven.

[UTUSN]

31. Donors are the only ones who hang with him, for the billions he gets for them.

And he thinks they're his buds.

[bringthePaine]

30. guess the chickens do better than the quail😁

[flying_wahini]

73. Isn't this David Duke?

[Wawannabe]

17. Kickin for exposure!

LG is COMPLICIT!

[dalton99a]

18. This needs more exposure

[malaise]

83. Much more

Why isn't this being shown on network TV and Cable TV

[MineralMan]

19. How long before?

It matters.

[groundloop]

32. I found that photo from an article dated October 2, 2020

https://news.yahoo.com/sen-lindsey-graham-photographed-leader-195832167.html

[MineralMan]

91. Then it is irrelevant to the current situation.

[58Sunliner]

99. Disagree. Elected officials should not be pictured smiling with violent white supremacists.

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. maybe Lindsey was a bit mislead by the name Proud Boys...

[NurseJackie]

79. Land! Oh dear!

[agalisgv]

25. Does the FBI know?

(sarcasm)

Oh, Miss Linseed....bless your little heart......

40. Holy crap

Why is this not ALL over the news?

[Cha]

41. Fucking grinning Shit Eating POShites!

[marble falls]

42. Well, Lindsey was screaming at guards during the sedition about a lack of concern for ...

... his own safety. I think maybe neither Graham nor Pence were in on the plan.

[IsItJustMe]

43. Just the good ol' boys having some fun times.

Question to a tech savvey DU'er.

If you notice in the OP, it says LINK TO TWEET

Once I get on Twitter, how do I copy a particular post to place here on DU?

Thanks in advance.

[tblue37]

51. The "link to tweet" turns into the actual tweet after a few seconds.

To post a tweet, click on it, then copy the URL.If the URL has the word "mobile" in it, then delete "mobile and the period after it, so the URL starts with the word "twitter" instead.

[ToxMarz]

44. There is no excuse for the Republican enablers but this isn't from immediately before the

insurrection. Even if it's a fair assessment, it's undermined if we turn it into fake news

[BGBD]

54. I was going to post this as well

I remember seeing these pictures before and you can tell from no masks on the waiters that it was from before the pandemic.


Also we are focusing way too much on Proud Boys. They were there and I'm sure plenty of them got right in there in the mayhem, but if it were only them and their allies they wouldn't have gotten past the fences. The person who organized this and made it possible was Donald Trump. He talked about the date for weeks, he set up the rally, he used him loyalists to make sure the Capitol was weakly guarded. He's the one that brought the thousands of people in there and whipped them into a frenzy.

[Turin_C3PO]

82. I don't think it's from before the pandemic.

I believe it’s dated October 2020.

[Joinfortmill]

45. WTF?

[calimary]

46. This was BEFORE last week's insurrection???

Hey Lindsay, fraternizing with the enemy you are.

[Ilsa]

48. Last October, per Yahoo news. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

47. Fascism is skin deep.

NAZI is all the way through.

[Ilsa]

49. This was in October 2020, per the twitter thread.

The pic came from Yahoo news.

[questionseverything]

65. Still with the leader of a hate group

N/t

[Ilsa]

92. my point was that it was before the insurrection,

so we cannot rule out continued contact or conspiracy between them.
What was the terrorist doing in DC? Planning? Meeting up?
I know politicians have to be careful who they take quick photos with, but the gravity of the events means this should be explained.

[DeminPennswoods]

70. Doubt Graham knew who this was, tbh

Just another person who wanted a selfie/photo with him. That's what it looks like to me.

[Jarqui]

55. Lindsey really disturbs me. He should not be in the US Senate anymore. ...nt

[BlueIdaho]

57. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury

For Exhibit A we have...

[JohnnyRingo]

58. If I'm honest, it looks like he crashed the table for a selfie.

I don't think he's actually in the booth with Graham. Probably kneeled down for a pic with a hero. At least that's how it looks to me.

Politicians need every vote. Rock stars tell people to bugger off, and If it's George Clooney, he just breaks the camera.

[SergeStorms]

72. Yeah, you're correct.

Look how far back Graham is in the booth. The PD scumbag is probably 1 1/2 feet away from the booth, squatting or kneeling to take a selfie with his...... hero? I'd bet anything they were not having dinner together. Republicans are guilty of enough things without having to fabricate them.

[JohnnyRingo]

74. I'm guessing Graham is his rock star.

At least until Lindsey comes out.

[LAS14]

59. What???????? nt

[amywalk]

60. Looks like Lindsey has a bit of a crush.

[Susan Calvin]

63. Oh God what a hideous mental picture.

To think of. I will not put the m word before his name. Lindsey lying down figuratively with white supremacists. Absolutely disgusting. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

[Blue Owl]

101. Lindsey's never felt so alive...

He's as giddy as a schoolgirl!!!

[amywalk]

106. 😂😂😂

[PatrickforO]

61. Graham should not have met with this traitor. If you lie down with a dog,

you get up with fleas, so they say, and Lindsey is now flea-bitten with the treason that rubbed off on him from this insurrectionist neo-Nazi.

[Hekate]

62. Holy shit

[SunSeeker]

64. K & R for exposure.

[calimary]

94. And for more exposure.

[msfiddlestix]

66. Ha! I just posted a reference to this in another thread.

Your post includes the source though... thank you.

[Vivienne235729]

69. This really needs to go viral

[Pachamama]

71. I have a feeling there will be a lot more of these kind of pictures with Members of Congress exist

My Lindsay looks really delighted....

[Leith]

75. Can you imagine the rethug outrage if...

a Democratic senator took a similar picture with someone associated with the Antifa movement?

We know that it has not happened because there has been no screeching loud enough to crack the sky.

[malaise]

77. This should be spread everywhere

I want to see it on Network and cable TV

[Karma13612]

80. WHEN the F was this??????

[twodogsbarking]

81. Please don't show pictures

from later in the evening. I can only handle so much.

[octoberlib]

84. I saw this picture floating around on Twitter months ago

so it's not recent like this guy is trying to imply. Still, Graham should not have been palling around with Biggs.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

86. Birds of a feather flock together.

Graham is a racist fascist pig.

[niyad]

87. This reinforces a thought I had about LG screaming at the CP. A distraction from whatever role

that he might have had in aiding and abetting this attempted coup.

[The Jungle 1]

88. Has pig boy biggs been arrested yet?

[malaise]

93. He was arrested the week before

[llashram]

89. it figures

not surprised in the least. The attack on the 6th by Trump insurrectionist was planned way before the rampage and no doubt in my mind graham was one of its tacit leaders in our government and security forces.

[CaptYossarian]

95. I'm glad I don't watch The Bachelor.

But who are the other contestants this season?

[Fla Dem]

96. Was Lindsay in the Capitol on January 6th?

If not I would certainly question what he knew and when did he know it. Also what intel did he provide the PB leader.

[BigBearJohn]

97. We should all send this to Rachel Maddow

[Under The Radar]

100. "Exhibit A"

[Kielhurn9]

102. GrahamCracker

It's my, very keen-eyed and educated, opinion - that Lindsay Graham likely took a large(er) "donation" from Trump during that fatal weekend where he flew up to NJ to 'play a round of golf' - then came back to DC singing praises of the man who he has JUST denounced as a terrorist bigot wanting to destroy Democracies around the world
Graham took such a fast head spinning turn, that there's only ONE thing on earth that would've caused this.......money. Lots of money.

So - where is that extra $25,000,000 that trump pocketed from Russian Oligarchs during his inauguration? He won't say - we don't know.....but I think Graham knows all too well.

Along with every other pig goper who's screaming for this filthy man. they all took the cash and sold their souls while crying about the love of Jesus Christ.

Every one of them needs to be investigated for funds for the next 20 years. We all know that cash is stashed in Russia - waiting for the likes of Graham, Nunes, Gaetz and all others foam at the mouth for their payday.

It never had anything to do with loyalty. and def not for the love of country - THEY ARE ALL TRAITORS

If he had known who Biggs was and what he was about, he would have NEVER done something to ill-advised.
