Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, became the latest high-profile GOP elected official to defend Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming amid attacks from Donald Trump loyalists critical of her vote to impeach the former president last month.

"I believe @RepLizCheney is one of the strongest and most reliable conservative voices in the Republican Party. She is a fiscal and social conservative, and no one works harder to ensure that our military is well prepared," Graham wrote in a pair of consecutive tweets on Tuesday morning, adding her experience and leadership are "invaluable to the Republican Party."

Graham's comments come one day after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement to CNN that Cheney, who as conference chairwoman is the No. 3 House Republican, had "the courage" to act on her convictions in the aftermath of her vote to impeach Trump last month on a charge he incited the deadly insurrection that ransacked Capitol Hill on January 6.

"Liz Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them," McConnell said. "She is an important leader in our party and in our nation. I am grateful for her service and look forward to continuing to work with her on the crucial issues facing our nation."

1. Tomorrow Graham will do just the opposite

[NCjack]

2. Apparently, Lindsey doesn't know that when you take both sides of an issue,

you piss off the people on both sides.

[TruckFump]

3. IMO, I would rather piss off a bunch of people other than Daddy Cheney. EOM

[groundloop]

12. It's certainly better to be pissed off than pissed on.

4. And I'm scared of Darth Dick

11. Is there any politician any more slippery, sleazy?

I might nominate McConnell, but I think Lindsey takes the cake.

And how the hell did he get away with that incriminating phone call to the governor of Georgia?

Perhaps hopes to succeed Mitch?

not worthy of our pity, only our scorn...

15. The ferry pilot

Remember the ferry pilot from The Outlaw Josie Wales? He'd sing Dixie until halfway across the river then The Battle Hymn Of The Republic. That weaselly little ferry pilot always comes to mind when I see Graham.
