Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday accused President Joe Biden of playing the “race card” by slamming Republican efforts to suppress voting across the country.

In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," the South Carolina Republican was asked to react to new measures being pushed by his party in states like Georgia to restrict access to voting, which Biden referred to as “sick” and “Jim Crow in the 21st century” during his first news conference Thursday.

"You know what's sick is that the president of the United States played the race card continuously in such a hypocritical way,” Graham said to Fox News’ Chris Wallace.

Graham went on to disparage Democrats and a package of election and government reforms, known as H.R. 1, that passed the House earlier this month and which seeks to counter Republican efforts to stymie voting, calling the sweeping legislation “the biggest power grab in the history of our country.” It awaits action in the Senate.

“Every time a Republican does anything, we’re a racist. If you’re a white conservative, you’re a racist. If you’re a Black Republican, you’re either a prop or Uncle Tom,” Graham said. Democrats “use the racism card to advance a liberal agenda, and we’re tired of it. H.R. 1 is sick, not what they’re doing in Georgia.”

1. "Every time a Republican does anything, we're a racist."

Umm, because more often than not that's the reality.

[malaise]

2. If it quacks like a duck...

That is all

[gratuitous]

3. Got it in one, Sen. Graham

Any initiative out of the GOP should be first screened for racism, and it almost always ticks that box. So yeah, Lindsey, racist. Which is a choice, unlike, say, a person's sexual orientation.

[Bettie]

12. It's like he thinks we don't see them

or notice what they are doing. Fuck off Leningrad Lindsay!

[-misanthroptimist]

4. Yes, Linsey. You got it.

Every time a Republican does anything, we’re a racist. If you’re a white conservative, you’re a racist. If you’re a Black Republican, you’re either a prop or Uncle Tom...

That's it precisely, Graham. If you don't like the implications, stop doing and saying racist shit.

It's very simple.

[The Magistrate]

5. A More Suitable Headline For This Coverage, Ma'am

"Graham Lets Off Wet Fart This Morning On Big Lie Network"

[PatSeg]

6. Oh, just shut up Lindsey

You become more ridiculous and irrelevant all the time.

[dlk]

7. Rule #1 of propaganda-assert the opposite of what's true

Rule #2, repeat the lie until people begin to believe it. Given their level lies and overt racism, Republicans must be absolutely terrified of democracy.

[Under The Radar]

8. We are only judging you on the content of your character....

What is sick is 11 hour lines with laws against bathroom breaks water or food consumption.
Lindsey, just admit what Trump has on several occasions, you can’t win if the majority of people vote.

[MagickMuffin]

9. And every time your owner made his dog whistling comments you came to heel

And your party has been quite open about it, so . . .

Why the fake poutrage!

[JohnSJ]

10. Thank you Graham for making clear to everyone that you are a racist scum

[SMC22307]

11. He's a slimy little fuck and always has been. (n/t)

[Cracklin Charlie]

13. Race card

That phrase means nothing. Does anyone EVER ask them what that phrase means?

Did Biden acknowledge that people of different races live in this country? Yes. Does Biden understand that these citizens work, and live, vote, and pay taxes? Yes.

Because they do.

Lindsey and his friends would gladly reject the notion. “Race card” is a straight up dog whistle.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

14. Go back to kissing Trump's ass, Lindsey!

It is the only thing you seem to do well.

[central scrutinizer]

15. Playing the victim card

So sick of privileged assholes framing everything as if they are the ones who are really suffering.

[bluestarone]

16. The Russian in him just flows out of his mouth

SO SICK!

[Midnight Writer]

17. Next time Lindsey calls Georgia telling them to change the vote count, he expects results!

What's truly sick is taking an oath to defend and protect our Constitution, then working to help Putin undermine our democracy.

[imanamerican63]

18. And the GOPers could not have said it better! NOT!

I wonder if Lindsey knows the meaning of that word, because he supported a “RACIST PIG” as he called Trump that in 2016 primary before he sucked up to Trump.

[Volaris]

19. Awwwwww, did the big meanie president steal your cheat card lindsey, you drama queen?

[Dawson Leery]

20. Leningrad Lindsay is the PC version of Strom Thurmond.

[FlyingPiggy]

21. Hey Graham, racist groups do racist things. Truth hurts.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. If the Foo shits wear it Lindsey.

[Goodheart]

23. A white man can "play the race card"?

That doesn't even make sense.
