Lindsey Graham booed for asking Republicans to consider Covid vaccine

A Republican senator was booed and catcalled when he told a party audience in South Carolina to think about getting a vaccine against Covid-19.

Lindsey Graham was speaking at the Summerville Country Club in Dorchester county. Video of his remarks was first published by the Daily Beast.

“If you haven’t had the vaccine,” the 66-year-old said, “you ought to think about getting it because if you’re my age …

“No!” yelled audience members.

“I didn’t tell you to get it,” Graham said. “You ought to think about it.”

“No!” people in the crowd yelled again.

2. Now, just suggesting that people *think* about getting vaccinated is apostasy among the MAGAts.

Imagine telling South Carolina Republicans that they ought to think about something. Mercy! You deserved all the booing you got, Senator. South Carolina Republicans don't think, don't like to think, and don't want to be told to think. You of all people should know that.

Makes one fear for the United States' future, as the maintenance of the political wellbeing of the USA requires sufficient shared interests on the parts of its citizens.

Your base is killing itself to feed the ego of the Orange anus that you pray at the alter of.

If there was only some safe and effective way to Pripyat and save them…..oh well.

And don't go to the hospital, either. Worm medicine, worm medicine, worm medicine. It's called thinning the herd. In this case the stupidest herd in the history of the planet.
