1. This is the hardest I've laughed..

since March 9, 2020. If only there were video..

Thanks for making my year and a half.

[berniesandersmittens]

3. +1

2. How did we get that transcript?

[thesquanderer]

22. I assume it's an "artictic interpretation"...

...a take on the kind of thing that might have happened based on the article at https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/533838-brown-says-graham-yelled-at-officer-for-not-protecting-senators

But it seems that all you have to do is put it in a Courier font and people thing it's a real transcript!

[lagomorph777]

29. Yeah - the font got me!

[underpants]

5. TEN MORE SENATORS

[Merlot]

6. "The current plan is to evacuate all of you..."

I hate to say it but Lindsey was right on this - the senators needed to certify the count in the Capitol. Flight would have given the insurrectionists a bigger win.

If the National Guard and back up police would have been allowed into the area sooner, this wouldn't have been an issue. The real issue is the delay in resources.

7. I'm not sure we can count on that. No link to an official

source was provided.

[chia]

26. He's not naming his sources. See followup tweet:

[spooky3]

30. Understood, but unless one of those named affirms it, it's hard to believe it. nt

[chia]

31. Yeah, I understand in return. I have information exhaustion, trying to figure out what's real and

what's not...

[Bev54]

8. I am pretty sure he was into the booze that night

he was so over the top when he was on the senate floor and no doubt as well before this interview. He is a wreck like so many others, in Trump's orbit. ETTD.

[bahboo]

14. agree...he was absolutely lit.....

[sarcasmo]

9. STFU Lindsey. I was laughing so hard my eyes were watering.

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. (Sounds of LINDSEY being pummeled vigorously about the head and shoulders.) nt

12. Oh, that is priceless!

Especially the unnamed GOP senator, "The cameras are off Lindsey. You don't have to put on a show."

[Xoan]

13. Always been a punk in

need of a protector (eg. McCain, Trump) to make him sound tough.

[Paladin]

15. Absolutely love it. (nt)

[wryter2000]

16. LOL

I guess they told him to go Cheney himself.

[Tadpole Raisin]

17. I love the inadvertent creation of new words - catamalystic is a great word.

And Lindsey Graham is the best definition of it. Please include his picture in the Oxford dictionary as well as another guy who shall remain nameless.

Ah hell, just reference all republicans!

[catbyte]

18. In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny,

[Tadpole Raisin]

20. LOL, I was well into adulthood before I got that!

Didn’t realize that those cartoons were filled with references only adults would get. Perfectly apt here!

[captain queeg]

19. He sure looks like shit

Good to see. We need a few rethugs to kick the bucket.

[Iggo]

21. So Sen. Graham's first instinct was to gun them all down.

Good to know.

[Bayard]

23. Oh...that's good!

But I'd like to see it verified.

[ancianita]

40. Billy Ray --

who's Billy Ray, anyway -- attests that it's verified in a later tweet:

To those asking me to cite my source.
I will not. I don't burn sources.
But there are THREE of them - all in the room.

Right now I'd call it a likely story.
I'm with you. Tweets need corroboration if they're going to be considered news sources.

[bringthePaine]

24. what a disgraceful little shit

[FBaggins]

25. Any reason to believe that Billy Ray knows what he's talking about?

What Senate transcript is formatted like a screenplay?

And what Senate "safe room" has a transcription/recording?

[KS Toronado]

27. Lindsey Graham stutters more than I've ever seen Biden

He has trouble pronouncing words like TFG.

[MrModerate]

28. I bet that tested the traditional comity of the Senate. n/t

[czarjak]

32. Verklempt, Lindy. Look it up!

[Blue Owl]

34. K&R

Bwah!

[UTUSN]

35. K&R

[MurrayDelph]

36. Was he trying to use (or in a Freudian slip, avoid)

using the word "catamite"?

[FreepFryer]

37. This is a script, not a transcript. But I bet it's a real account for a re-enactment. (Nt)

[NurseJackie]

38. They all know that Lindsey-G is a complete phony! Total fraud. His genteel Southern Gentleman act...

... isn't fooling anyone! He's a sniveling treacherous coward. I don't know how ANYONE can take him seriously.

Shut up, Lindsey! Let him speak! SHUT THE FUCK UP, LINDSEY! The cameras are off, Lindsey. You don't have to put on a show.

[Oneironaut]

39. It's been pretty much confirmed he behaved like a sniveling coward.

I bet Trump would have behaved the same way too.
