Per eyewitnesses I've interviewed:

On January 6, after fleeing the Senate Chamber for a safe-room, only ONE Senator lost his cool. Just ONE Senator got so rattled that other Senators had to tell him to sit down & shut up, (some from his own party.)

You're looking at him 👇👇👇

"I own an AR-15. If there's a natural disaster in South Carolina where the cops can't protect my neighborhood, my house will be the last one that the gang will come to, because I can defend myself." -- Lindsey Graham

1. OMG, Get THe Guys With THe Nets

[SharonAnn]

14. His speech (drunken rambling?) in the Senate that night was somethimg.

He was clearly rattled (drunk) and couldn’t get hold of himself.

[msfiddlestix]

52. i missed that. Sounds entertaining.

[dawg]

2. Yeah. Seneca has quite the street gang problem.

Once they got big enough to have their own Applebee's, they turned into an urban hellscape.

[Nevilledog]

55. I thought that was Jefferson Beauregard Sessions

[NotHardly]

37. LOL... thank you for this.

[msfiddlestix]

53. bwhaaaaaaaaa

[Thomas Hurt]

3. amoral and stupid isn't any way to go through life Lindsey...

I imagine the fantasy of that happening arouses many christofascists.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

4. Paranoid much?

Wanting a mad max distopia, asshole??

Where you get to kill people you don't like?

And not be held responsible for the murders you commit..

Fuck you Lindsay

5. "How about suppporting disaster preparedness, a strong and robust infrastructure that can withstand

natural disasters, a network of quick and efficient first responders, a financial safety net, a stockpile of long-lasting food and medical supplies, and an employer of last resort to deal with natural disasters?"

"Well, that all sounds cool and everything but that ALSO sounds like SOCIALISM! I'll just carry a gun in case of a natural disaster instead."

"But literally anything of what I proposed would actually deal wi--"

"Gun. It's the only way."

"But-"

"ONLY. WAY."

[sarcasmo]

6. Why was Lindsey absent from Ted Cruz's cosplay weekend?

[SheilaAnn]

15. Oh, he was there, loud and proud..n/t

[Paladin]

7. Nobody's taken a public fall like Lindsey Graham has.

Makes me happy.

[brewens]

8. Someone needs to drag him to the range, hand him an AR-15 and make him show us he knows

how to load it and fire a few shots. Kind of like these guys did to Brian Wilson.

[KentuckyWoman]

22. I have never seen that before

Belushi was genius.

[brewens]

31. I think it was part of a made for TV movie promoting their new album and tour.

I watched it and saw them about that time. They were making a big deal out of Brian making a comeback, but he was really just on stage for show. Videos from those shows make it pretty clearly. I didn't know the difference. It was the second concert I saw.

[yonder]

36. +1. just because.

[gldstwmn]

51. That is so funny and awesome

and tragic all rolled into one. The amount of talent in that video is astounding.

[dalton99a]

9. "The gang" means black people

[The Magistrate]

12. Exactly, Sir

Roving bands lof Negroes, they spring up from the ground to prey on white folks in the wake of any and all natural disasters --- we've all seen it happen time and time again....

[csziggy]

30. More likely, black joggers running down the street. nt

[empedocles]

10. If lindsey was in the Capitol building Jan. 6 with his weapon terrorist time, can't help but wonder

what he would have done with it?

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

38. Since they were *white* protestors,

Like Ron Johnson he'd have felt better, and maybe givem it to them...

[central scrutinizer]

11. That'll be the first place they go now that they know

Where they can steal an AR-15.

[BlueJac]

13. Resign please, and quit being a tool for Republicans

[Hugh_Lebowski]

17. This wussy probably cries for helicopters to come pick him up when the water in the gutter

reaches halfway up the curb during a rainstorm.

This image of him defending his house w/his AR-15 from roving gangs after a disaster causes total lawlessness is friggin laughable.

[struggle4progress]

18. DC might be safer, Lindsey, if Congress kicked out its insurrectionists

[Are_grits_groceries]

19. Only gang I have seen in SC

are Walmart shoppers trying to get holiday sales items. May not be armed, but they serious danger!

[Baked Potato]

20. When he says "gang" he means his IIIs & OKs.

Commonly known as Three Percenters and Oath Keepers (Constituents).

[COL Mustard]

44. Oaf Keepers

Gotta spell it right.

[KentuckyWoman]

21. That is one big ass AR 15

If he thinks he can shoot gangs in SC from his safe room in DC.

[ck4829]

23. Ha! You know the second he hears "RIOT!" "Those dark people look angry!" or "Found your slush fund!"

He will be in his own private one-man panic room faster than you can blink.

[VickiSmith]

24. No way

he does not know one end of an AR-15 from the other. I am betting my old 65 yr old butt can take him down anyday anytime.

[maxsolomon]

28. You're the same age as Graham, so maybe.

Are you in a gang?

[VickiSmith]

42. No........

no gang, just this whole thread makes me laugh.

[burrowowl]

39. If he fires standing up, the recoil will probably

land him on his ass.

[True Dough]

25. David Frum calls out Graham's BS

27. Graham in a gun battle ..... I'd pay to see that!

Against the O.G.’s that lived their whole lives with guns and street fights. I hope they do a three part mini-series of that misadventure.

Part 1: Lyndsay loading the gun in anticipation of violence.

Part 2: Lyndsay zeroing his weapon in preparation for use.

Part 3: Lyndsay engaging the O.G.’s in house/urban setting gunfight.

Part 4: RIP

[Sancho]

26. Damn Clemson students might gang up on old Lindsey!

[maxsolomon]

29. "You can't prove I won't ever need it".

Justifying allowing paranoid schizophrenics access to MSSAs with astronomically improbable racist prepper fantasies.

[jmowreader]

32. Yeah, you've got to watch out for those roving gangs...

...who are armed with cordless drills ready to steal the plywood right off your windows to patch the holes in their roofs.

The funny thing is, SC gets those kinds of disasters on a fairly regular basis. They’re called hurricanes. Unless Lindsay is admitting he lives in the milk cooler at a Walmart, he’s not in danger of gangs.

[patphil]

33. Just a wee bit of irrational fear going on there, huh Lindsey?

[lame54]

34. I forget the name of the gang we no longer hear about

[PCIntern]

35. Can you visualize that scene?

DU rules absolutely forbid me to post my scenario.

[Aviation Pro]

49. I can

I picture a scene where he's jack rabbiting his M-4 variant in front of me and I firmly disarm him.

[AverageOldGuy]

40. Not very likely

If Lindsey Graham really does own an AR-15, and if he slams in a magazine and chambers a round, he is more dangerous to himself than to anyone else.

Graham is an Air Force RESERVE LAWYER. He has never had a shot fired in his direction. I doubt that he has qualified on a weapon in 20 years.

He is full of . . . well, you know.

[Aviation Pro]

48. He's full of fobbit

Is what he is.

[Generic Brad]

41. Roving gangs are terrorizing genteel SC neighborhoods, are they?

Old Lindsey loves smearing the B.S. thick on his shit sandwich.

[William Gustafson]

43. Let me guess... His AR-15 is pink and has little fillies hanging off it....

[Thtwudbeme]

45. Jesus Christ- I grew up 2 hours from that fool

I always thought he was ridiculous, but he is getting more so every day. Wonder if he is getting senile?

There are NOT "gangs" running around Seneca, SC unless it's a fucking game day, and Clemson is playing.

[SWBTATTReg]

46. And what do you have LG, to protect yourself from your stupid mouth? I suspect not much.

[Aviation Pro]

47. Gangs of what?

Buffalos, turkeys, weasels, elk? How about a glaring of cats?

Such a frightened, little thing you are, now go clutch your pearls.

[liberaltrucker]

54. Dumbass probably doesn't know

which end of the tube the round exits.
