Wow Lindsey Graham!

[imanamerican63]

You really pissed of the Russians! They have an arrest warrant out for you and your comments concerning Ukraine!

What does feel like being on the wrong side of Putin? One has to wonder if his comments were made because Lindsey hasn’t been in the news lately?

Story from Associated Press.

8. Thank you.

37. TY... & here's what Graham said..

In an edited video of his meeting on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that was released by Zelenskyy’s office, Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, noted that “the Russians are dying” and described the U.S. military assistance to the country as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”

I thought LG was a rapid DT fan sho is a Rabid Putin puppet.. What fives!?

[C_U_L8R]

5. It was a pretty dumb remark

[marble falls]

6. This is Lindsey's only sane point. I think it's because he's ex-military and he has no love ...

... for the bear.

[2naSalit]

17. Makes me wonder...

If he's only been a willing slave up to the point where he actually got scared of being forced between pootin and his marriage to the military industrial complex. I think he doesn't handle pressure very well.

[marble falls]

22. That's an interesting take. Usually these mooks let 45 make up their minds for them.

[2naSalit]

35. True...

But lindsey has always been a slippery fish with all the charm of swamp slime.

[grantcart]

23. Or McCain's ghost appeared to him in a dream.

[marble falls]

24. I know this: being stationed on a boomer gave me antipathy towards Russians, I still hold.

[grantcart]

38. 120 years of bad decisions by Russian leaders have left the Russian peasant in poverty.

[marble falls]

39. 120 years and more.

[Hekate]

26. That's a helluva visual

[pwb]

7. Russian weapons have been killing Americans since the Korean War.

Payback is way overdue. I feel pretty good about it, having been on the receiving end of Russian weapons.

[HAB911]

9. If they come get him

can we look the other way?

[lastlib]

10. ...and we'll throw in Rand Paul, too....

But they'll have to ask nice for Ron Johnson. (Not that we would object, we just want them to ask politely.)

[2naSalit]

18. Heh...

RJ should be offered free of charge with a bonus check attached to his lapel. Same with the beastly boi from Kentuckia.

[Polly Hennessey]

21. And say, "Lindsey, who?"

[ProfessorGAC]

32. "Never Heard Of Him"

Ignoring his existence would be the ultimate insult to an attention hound like him.

[erronis]

11. Apparently they missed one of his monthly payments - or forgot and used rubles.

[robbob]

12. From the article, I have to say the Russians hit the nail in the head

with this comment:

“ it’s hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators.”

Yup, they got that right…

[2naSalit]

19. +1

[MarineCombatEngineer]

34. I have to say the Russian's are the biggest hypocrites,

given what some of their lawmakers have said and what Putin is doing to Ukraine right now.

[TurboDem]

13. This line in the article really stood out to me...

"Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented Sunday by saying that “it’s hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators.”

Is he saying that Mr. Graham is on their payroll and now Mr. Graham has brought great shame to Russia?

[PJMcK]

14. The head of RT has called for Graham's assassination

[Liberal In Texas]

15. For some reason whoever edited the remarks made them sound worse.

While Graham appeared to have made the remarks in different parts of the conversation, the short video by Ukraine’s presidential office put them next to each other, causing outrage in Russia.

[Tomconroy]

16. Lindsay has consistently supported Ukraine, for which I am grateful.

I don't understand how he reconciles that with his support of trump.

[roamer65]

20. I agree emphatically with Lindsey on Ukraine.

The more dead evil Russian invaders the better. Hopefully Putler falls to the same fate.

Its the best war money we have spent since WW2.

[peggysue2]

25. Several Russian pundits have called for Graham's assassination

The main woman on the channel said it would be easy to do bc they know where he lives.

The commentary on RT, even from Scott Ritter who's been wined and dined during his book tour in Russia, are absolutely appalling.

And downright evil.

[Hekate]

27. Lest we forget: Russia has never been our friend. Never.

[rollin74]

28. Lindsey Graham says he will wear the Russian arrest warrant as "a badge of honor"

29. So he makes a statement supportive of our stance in Ukraine and in support of the Ukrainians.

Yet still, you want to trash him? That makes sense. Not.

If we never find common ground, however scarce or unsteady, we'll never progress in bringing this country together.

I'm no fan of Lindsay, but bravo to him for making this statement, though it appears to have been a bit distorted in the quotes I'm reading.

[Mr. Ected]

30. Makes me wonder if Trump kept him in line by threatening to sic Russian assassins on him

And then it further makes me wonder if Trump made that a blanket threat against all GOP in Congress.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. In fact, it would surprise me more if he didn't.

[yardwork]

31. Just catching up on this.

[FakeNoose]

33. Since Putin is recognized as an international terrorist now, I'd say

... ol' Lindsey must have done something good to piss him off.

I don't know what he did, but thanks Lindsey!
