Lindsey Graham Calls Off His Friendship With Biden for Political Points

On Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) went on Fox News to tell President Joe Biden that their friendship could not continue, on account of “what he did in Afghanistan.”

“I will never forgive,” Graham said of Biden’s withdrawal—before continuing on with a gleeful hope of stopping the Democrat’s “socialist train” in the upcoming election.

Graham does this all the time. With his faux-gentlemanly air, he pays lip service to his relationship with Joe Biden before denouncing his friend’s actions on national television and demanding that he face severe punishment. The underlying message always seems to be: This time Biden has just gone too far! Of course you have to believe me! I’m Biden’s friend.

Graham took a similar tone when he called for a special prosecutor to investigate the business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter. He insisted that he still liked Biden personally. But, especially during Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, something had to be done.

does he even know who he's friends with on a daily basis? Jesus, what a mess! Why would the POTUS want to count that jackass as a friend?

“You want to know how to make America great again?” Graham asked in 2015. “Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.”

so now Lindsay is saying he is the one dumping the friendship? He obviously thinks we all have short memories.

He might pretend to have friends, but he is only interested in power.

The president has told him as much. Mere weeks after the election.

"Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he's going to regret his whole life," Biden told CNN's Don Lemon in an interview Friday in South Carolina.“

This was after Graham ran around with his hair on fire going after Hunter.

Biden is too nice to say how soon and what about, but HE knows and Graham does too. Joe will even show some empathy and be a bit remorseful when it happens. But Lindsey’s “You can’t fire me, I QUIT!” hissy fit is utterly impotent.

It’s gonna be SAD.

What makes you think you’re so important?

You’re nothing more than dog shit on my shoe, Little Lindsey.
