Holy $#!+ Graham: 'I accept the results of the election'

[liberal N proud]

The end of the world must be near


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he accepts the results of the 2020 election, and urged Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, to focus on the upcoming midterm where the party wants to win back control of Congress.

"I accept the results of the election. ... 2020 is over to me, I'm ready to march on and hopefully take back the House and the Senate in 2022," Graham told reporters in South Carolina.

1. What's his angle now? It ain't democracy.

[SheltieLover]

3. Translation: no need to investigate 1/6

[sheshe2]

13. Bazinga!

[SheltieLover]

15. Yup.

I'm fairly certain he has NO idea how transparent he is.

[sheshe2]

19. Nor does he care.

[SheltieLover]

21. Of course not

[spanone]

2. so, a senator admits reality. how noble.

fuck off linds

[Frustratedlady]

4. Translated, that means Liz Cheney must be pulling his chain, or he's afraid she will.

He's no match for Cheney. I've never been a Cheney fan, by far, but I love the way Liz has of making their tummies hurt.

[Tripper11]

5. Yeah right...

...until tomorrow

[FakeNoose]

6. When the feds knocked on Rudy's door

... it put the fear of God into all these guys.

Chump is not gonna pardon them, he's not even going to help them. It's every idiot for himself now. Lindsey is maybe a little smarter than most, or maybe he just knows more.

7. It is yeah yeah, Biden won and we can forget about Jan 6 because we all agree

Biden is president. It is all about changing the narrative and not wanting a 1/6 commission that could investigate republicans and the former guy's collaboration with the insurrection.

[regnaD kciN]

8. "Accept the results" does NOT mean "I acknowledge the election was fair"...

...just that "It's over, and there's nothing that can be done to overturn it, even if it was fraudulent."

[Carlitos Brigante]

12. That's my exact take! He's scummy weasel through and through. For all I

know, he just read some polls that that nonsense won't save them in '22.

[JohnSJ]

9. He will change tomorrow

[liberal N proud]

22. He is a flip-flopping idiot

[JohnSJ]

26. Yes

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. Lindsey may have just lost his "reserved" spot on Rump's Rump. nt

[NH Ethylene]

11. Did he and the former guy have a little tiff?

Let's see how long he can hold out with his pout.

[Beastly Boy]

14. He sounds like a wronged party in a bitter breakup:

"2020, it's over. You are nothing to me now. I am moving on, and as God is my witness, I will take back what's mine... Hopefully."

[UTUSN]

16. K&R

[tulipsandroses]

17. I think its a combination of all the above

I think he is afraid of any investigations to come out, January 6 and the call that he made to Georgia.
Given that there have been some Republicans changing their tune this week, I think that they may be reckoning with the truth that Trump may not be as popular as he has been selling himself to be or the way others have been selling him. They were reports recently that trump's unpopularity was being kept from members. Perhaps they have seen those reports and are waking up to the fact that 2022 even with gerrymandering and cheating will not be as easy as they thought and so they must try to pretend to be "sane Republicans"
As well as Lindsay changes his mind easily, so who knows what he may say tomorrow or the day after.

[Blue Owl]

18. I thought he only accepted the results of tRump's ass fruit

[myohmy2]

20. wrong, wrong, wrong...

...no need lindsey to rush into a hasty decision if it's going to upset the fuhrer...

...does the dear Party leader now sanction such thought?

...careful...

[Chainfire]

23. Accepting the results is hedging. He should say that Biden won in a fair and honest election.

Screw all of those whiny bastards.

[everyonematters]

24. My guess is he has seen some results on polling or focus groups.

[PortTack]

25. Agree! There's something driving this..it will surface..in due time

[RegularJam]

27. He said it months ago.

I think there might be a number of things that have him scared.

[lame54]

28. It's not your election to concede

[Mad_Machine76]

29. Hearing anything from Lindsey Graham gives me whiplash

I give up.
