Lindsey Graham says he won't back Mitch McConnell for Senate GOP leader if he doesn't have a 'working relationship' with Trump
[e-mail] (Cheryl Teh) - Yesterday 11:53 PM

. . .

Sen. Lindsey Graham has hit out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying he will not back McConnell to lead the GOP if the latter does not have a "working relationship" with former President Donald Trump.

Graham spoke to Fox host Sean Hannity on January 12, where he slammed the Senate minority leader for his broken-down relationship with the former president.

"Elections are about the future. If you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship with President Donald Trump," Graham said.

He added that he saw Trump as "the most consequential Republican since Ronald Reagan," though Trump does not currently hold any public office.

1. ...said putin

[elleng]

2. Sounds like lindsey has, simply, lost his mind.

[PatSeg]

26. Or more likely the kompromat

that Trump and Putin have on Lindsey must be a doozy. His fealty to Trump is absolutely bizarre, the same Trump that he called "a kook, crazy, and unfit for office". I wonder if we'll ever find out what the compromising information is.

[monkeyman1]

3. called " tru love " !!

[orleans]

4. bottom line: i don't believe anything those fucking assholes say. nt

[Frasier Balzov]

5. Trump has been consequential all right. I'll give Lindsey that much.

But the consequence is that of sleeping with dogs who have fleas.

[Martin Eden]

11. That was my first thought

Though the consequence has been to imperil our democracy and to destroy the last shred of integrity the Republican Party might have still been clinging to.

[nwliberalkiwi]

6. A Problem

Who has what on Sen. Lindsey Graham?

[Martin Eden]

13. Not necessary to "have: anything on him

Graham is merely showing himself to be a spineless creature without a shred of integrity.

He understands the GQP voting base has fully embraced Trumpism, and to defy that by speaking truth or standing on principle is political suicide in the next primary.

[area51]

30. +1 n/t

[vlyons]

7. maybe Senate Republicans will tear each other to shreds

and eat each other. God, it must be a terrible horrible dreadful place to work

[Ziggysmom]

8. Words cannot describe how pitiful Graham has become.

[LoisB]

9. Careful, Lindsey, I would not put my money on Trump in a Trump vs. McConnell

cage match. I'll bet you wish John McCain was still here.

[True Blue American]

22. I doubt that.

John McCain would be ripping little Lindsey to shreds.

His true character came out when he invited Ivanka and Jared to the funeral against both John and family wishes. I can still see him that day when the camera focused in on him. Eyes darting, body tense, I thought why is he so nervous? Then found out what he had done. It fell into place. That alone would have put him on John’s S*** list. I found it hard to believe what a scum bag Lindsey is.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Exactly. Lindsey is being very foolish to pick a fight with McConnell.

McConnell stops at nothing to maintain his power.

[LoisB]

33. Indeed.

[secondwind]

10. Trump has the goods ON ALL OF THEM. Period.

They are all compromised.

[crickets]

15. 👆

[LenaBaby61]

27. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[raccoon]

12. Believe me, many in SC wanted to get rid of him--but not enough

In this red-as-a-baboon’s-ass state.

[Ford_Prefect]

14. The smaller the dog the louder the bark. Graham is no threat to Mitch's power and he knows that.

Graham is just trying to hog the spotlight while he can. It's grist for the fund raising mill.

[Dorian Gray]

16. lol

okay Lindsay.

[UCmeNdc]

17. Lindsey Graham, "Yes sir, Mr. Trump!"

"Anything else I can do for you, Mr. Trump?"

[JohnSJ]

18. Lindsey Graham is a disgrace to his oath as a Senator and and to the county. By supporting

Someone who incited an insurrection against our country, he is as low as he can get

[mahina]

19. Damn, that has got to be some grade A kompromat on Lindsay.

Trump is really twisting his nuts. Reagan no less! Good lord.

[amb123]

20. "working relationship" equals "blind, unquestioning, obedience" to Trump

Simple as that.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

24. Yes, sir. Everyone knows thats what's meant, grovelling for power..truly this man lost

his mind…when another certain Senator from Arizona passed over…. taking Grahams mind with him.

How can there be so many idiots elected to the American Senate, by the dozens??

Dr. Fauci…yes, many idiots, all on one side of the aisle as is obvious to all but those who shutter common sense and their own observations.

[bullwinkle428]

23. I knew it would 24 HOURS MAXIMUM, following the "They've all abandoned Trump"

narrative that some were trying to push, after the Mike Rounds denunciation, that some of them would breathlessly pledge their loyalty back to Mango Mussolini.

[machoneman]

25. Major Republican infighting good for us!

[Paladin]

28. So looking forward to Lindsey paying for being such a trump whore. (nt)

[Baitball Blogger]

29. This is so embarrassing to watch

Surely, Mitch McConnell has some trash to throw back at Graham. Surely.

[RevBrotherThomas]

31. Lapdog.

[Javaman]

34. it appears lindsey has drank a beer stein worth of koolade.

either he's completely lost what was left of his mind or someone has something on him.

[Hekate]

35. Lindsay has lost his freaking mind

[The Wizard]

36. Note to Graham:

McConnell is the Snake of the Senate not the turtle.
