'Almost crying' Lindsey Graham ridiculed for Trump indictment meltdown

Source: raw story





Tom Boggioni March 31, 2023






........ In a clip shown on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Graham lamented, "They're trying to destroy Donald Trump because they fear him at the ballot box. To the conservatives out there, make sure you vote if you got friends, make sure they vote. If you don't have any friends, go make some friends but you need to help this man, Donald J. Trump. They're trying to drain him dry; he's spent more money on lawyers than most spend on campaigns. They're trying to bleed him dry. Donaldjtrump.com -- go tonight, give the president some money to fight this bulls--t."

Host Joe Scarborough immediately jumped in to ridicule Graham.

"I was going to say, Lindsey Graham was dispatched to do that, but they don't even have to get the order anymore -- they know the job. It's to run out on tv and raise money, we go back to this again," he said while laughing.


.........."I've got to say, that Lindsey Graham moment? He's tearing up," he laughed. "Lindsey knows what a bad man Donald Trump is. Lindsey is the one who said, 'if we make him our nominee, he'll destroy the Republican party and we deserve it.'"

Lindsey said Enough Enough!! about Trump on the Senate floor---then he started licking Trumps boots again. The man is sick!

Hypocritical windbag.

Saw him on Daily Show last week with Al Franken. His eyes looked very red then. I think he has some eye condition. But his lying rethuglican condition--no mercy! Wonder if Fami Willis will have the chance to indict him?

he knows what he has done.

I don't understand why no one has wondered why, for months, Lindsey was telling the truth about criminal trump, and the next day, after a golf outing, Lindsey made a 180 degree turn to sing the praises, that don't exist, about trump, and now he is crying, not to save trump because he really doesn't care about the buffoon, but because he knows trump will make deals and ALL OF THOSE REPUBLICANS, including Lindsey, will go down.

It was like night and day. Hates Trump and all he stands for, then goes and plays one golf game with Trump and does a jaw dropping one hundred and eighty degree.

I would love to see the 8 x 10 Color glossy(s) of Graham that Putin sent Trump to help Trump get Lindsay Graham in line.....
It worked...............

Couldn't have been a pic of Lindsay doing some lewd act with a woman, or even a man. The Republican voters just look the other way over those indiscretions......What could it have shown Lindsay doing, and with whom, that instantaneously got him 110% behind Trump.
I would love to speculate as to what the one thing he could have done, that would have alienated Republican Voters........

Same for all the extortion of other Republican Senators by Putin/Trump that forced them to having complete allegiance to Trump. What did Putin/Trump have on them??????????

He was emotional because he is afraid of being exposed to the world. We've all figured out that Trump and/or Putin probably have some kompromat on Lindsey and now he is afraid that he will lose his protection in the near future. He knows that Trump is incapable of loyalty. Whatever the dirt is, it must be a doozy for Graham to go to such bizarre extremes.

He knows this is the beginning. -45 has commanded him to serve up the plea for cash and he's doing it like a whipped dog. Whimpering.

Those are tears of anxiety mixed with a good dose of alcohol welling up in his eyes. It's like the kid who went on a rampage and lied about it for a long time and now he's been caught and he knows he's in for it.

Edwin Edwards wasn't just being funny when he made that remark about not losing unless he was found in bed with a dead girl or live boy. He knew those were the two unforgivable sins that would end a politician's career.
