Why is Lindsey Graham defending Margorie Taylor Green?

https://www.rawstory.com/lindsey-graham-2650258208/

GRAHAM on MTG: I rode down with her going to GA. Had a very pleasant experience...I want to hear from her. Before I want to judge what to do about her I want to know what the facts are. If these are not accurate postings they've been manipulated, I'd like to know that..

Hmm. What did she do for you Lindsey? Inquiring minds want to know.

Whatever it is that 'they' have on Graham is worse than just being gay, which I personally could care less about. I also feel confident in saying that almost everyone knows/feels that he's gay without HIM ever saying so.

I think that whatever he's done is CRAVEN AND UNLAWFUL, worse than we can imagine on top of taking monies from russia possibly. Hell it's not that 'russia' thing because almost all thuglicant's are in lock-step with the ruskies. No, it's the thing that's very CRAVEN AND UNLAWFUL that he's trying to hide, which is probably the other thing that he's probably done that has him staying messing in his pants, and showing up and appearing to be drunk & red-faced in public and also has him changing positions and twisting himself into a pretzel because he stays 'officially' kissing tRump's giant, smelly, nasty ass

...about his sexuality either. I'm just not sure you and I represent the average voter in S.C. and that is who Graham really cares about.

and that is who Graham really cares about."

Thing is though, per Jamie Harrison's run against Graham and per James Clyburn speaking about SC's many problems, Graham's done NOTHING for the people of SC. In fact, he's totally been ignoring his constituents and not even going there to visit and take up time with them, except for the very rich ones who weren't giving him that big money this election cycle, which sent him out there to beg for monies all over the place and breaking the law as to where he was begging for monies from. He went on Faux Noose television to BEG and almost cry for monies because he said "Harrison's raising tons of monies against me. HELP me!" I stand by my feeling, and that's all it is, is that Graham is controlled like a puppet on a string and hiding something so awful that if fully exposed ....

Finally, and as to the folks there in SC, I have friends/relatives who've lived in SC (Florence, Bishopville and in other places there in SC) for many years. Friend's husbands are buried at Fort Jackson, friends husbands who are active members of a VFW there, and most on the right side of the spectrum and they know that Graham's gay. It's an alleged open secret there in SC. The only thing I can think of is that you still have many folks there in SC who want to stay living way back in slavery days who want a white man, even a gay one who they probably don't like, stay in a position of power as Senator over a black man whose most definitely qualified and who truly understands the plight of the folks there in SC, and who wants to make their lives better no matter their race. Jamie ran a great campaign, yet Graham was making a complete secessionist idiot of himself and a fool too on a whole host of issues. Same thing goes for MoscowMitch who continues to win by HUGE margins there in KY, yet he's done nothing but get richer while that state and many who live there grow poorer and poorer. Yes, I'm sure gerrymandering has a place at the table which helps Moscow continue to win by huge numbers which still makes no sense. I suspect something crazy going on there with the numbers, because he stays Kentucky's stealth Senior Senator, who like I said, does NOTHING for the people there in KY.

The voters in South Carolina appear to have considered all else and said that it doesn’t matter enough not to re-elect him.

Lindsey is as heartless, as racist, and as vicious as Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Loui Gohmert, and the fresh crop of fascist flying monkeys now serving their QAnon constituents. Any notion that Lindsey is a thoughtful, measured, venerable, or level headed politician died with John McCain.
