Lindsey Graham Crediting Trump for Ukraine Aid Passing Raises Eyebrows

Remarks made by Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, on Sunday crediting former President Donald Trump for Ukraine aid funding has raised eyebrows on social media.

During an interview appearance on Fox News Sunday, Graham stated his approval for the House of Representatives approving more than $60 billion in aid to Ukraine to bolster its fight against Russia's invasion that began in February 2022. The bill designates approximately $10 billion of the Ukraine funding as repayable loans.

"There's a loan component to it. This would not have passed without President Trump. I want to thank the House Speaker [Mike Johnson] and [Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries working together in a bipartisan fashion to give weapons to Ukraine to fight a fight that matters to us," Graham said. "And President Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road."

"We're looking at it right now, and they're talking about it, and we're thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift," Trump said during the media event with the House speaker. "We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we'll take a look at it."

2. Lindsey "Tell Me What to Say" Graham

He’s like Diarrhea Donny’s moldy sock puppet

[EddieOnTheMesa]

4. Little Britain USA

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

56. You meant [i]crusty[/i] sock puppet, of course n/t

[erronis]

3. One of these posts that I recommend because it's worth reading, but hate the subject.

Lying Lil Lindsey

[Raven123]

5. Leverage ? A prelude to another "perfect call."

[bluestarone]

6. Total BULLSHIT! (how do i know?)

Because TFG would be the FIRST to claim credit, not Graham.

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. No one, from either side, gives a shit what he says

When Lindsey dies, I hope the kompromat on him is finally revealed.

[appmanga]

28. I don't think there any "kompromat"...

...I think Lindsey somehow believes that people don't already know he's gay. And he'll be marrying a woman long before Tim Scott does.

[oasis]

30. Reveal before his demise. He

has got to do a great deal of squirming first.

[captain queeg]

8. I wonder if we'll ever learn the truth about what trump has on him?

Or Putin, thru trump. His flip flop was so drastic and sudden there must be some awful secret he’s trying to hide.

[Katcat]

37. Maybe

Putin set him up and then had pix taken.

[MacKasey]

9. Hakeem Jefferies got this bill passed!

For the American people and our allies

but the Dems are not going to let that happen...I don't think Johnson did the "right thing" because he gives a damn about Ukraine..I think after his ass-kissing visit to Mar-A-Lago and promoting a bullshit election integrity bill, somehow he got it Trump is going to lose in November...

[Irish_Dem]

10. There is something very wrong with LG.

I wonder if he has an alcohol or drug problem.

[NonPC]

15. His Eyes Are ALWAYS Glassy

Not sure of what type of drugs he is on, but I'll bet there is a perverted sexual twist to him too. Tape at 11.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes sometimes he seems intoxicated or high.

And he lacks consistency in his comments.
He is all over the map.

[GenThePerservering]

34. That glassy-eyed look is fear nt

[captain queeg]

38. Alcohol. Having sold his soul he needs to self medicate.

I saw some stuff from 2016 where he joked about getting more alcohol in the senate. And I saw him on Colbert or someone years ago when he still had a sense of humor and people said they thought he was lit up. But once he sold out to trump he has to try to cover his shame somehow.

[Irish_Dem]

48. Yes he appears intoxicated at times.

Alcohol problem would account for a lot.

[cstanleytech]

11. I wonder how the other brands of Republican toilet paper compare to the Lindsey Graham brand.

[coprolite]

42. The regular Rebulican brand

is made with rough fibers from the leaves of the devils club plant.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_club

The Linsey brand is soft and smells good. It has no fiber, like Linsey, and therefore it tears easily and gets ...uh, messy.

Well, that's what I imagine.

[cstanleytech]

43. I thought they had decided to switch to the gympie-gympie since it was cheaper ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocnide_moroides

[Chainfire]

12. Lindsey Graham is a damn fool.

[cstanleytech]

44. Slight revision needed there as it should be a damn ass tonguing fool.

[sheshe2]

13. Seriously Lindsey?

If that were true, then why did all the congressional maggots vote against their Lord and Saviors wishes?

You are a clown.

[Not Heidi]

14. "Clown" is only one of his honorary titles.

Unfortunately, I'm not very creative these days. Suffice to say that he's one of the grandest losers on the other side of the aisle.

[sheshe2]

17. Lol

I was holding back.

[Not Heidi]

22. Probably wise. :-) n/t

[Not Heidi]

25. . . . and then there are lyrics from Randy Rainbow

Donald, we're all in a jam
Please get the hell out -
And take Lindsey Graham . . .

Youtube: from "If Donald Got Fired," Randy Rainbow and Patti LuPone.
Don't wait. Go there now.
(It's from the 2020 presidential campaign)

[republianmushroom]

19. Graham is another Russian loving republican.

He lies as much as trump.

[LiberalFighter]

20. Wouldn't that be interference in the operation of the govt if TSF was involved?

[DemocraticPatriot]

21. What a shameless little lying hussie

Preposterous!

He has finally completely joined the batshit fucking fictionalists, totally

[CatWoman]

24. this man has absolutely no shame

[BeyondGeography]

26. But screw NATO and Russia can do whatever the hell it wants

Or has that changed too?

[kimbutgar]

27. He's really on his knees now trying to slurp up the orange menace with that comment !

[Wonder Why]

29. JFK wrote "Profiles in Courage". RFK, Jr will write "Profiles in Cowardice". Lindsey will be in it.

[Bluethroughu]

31. Get a life lindsey.

[keithbvadu2]

32. Lindsey, I'll gladly donate $20 to you if you tell us what dirt on you that Trump told you he has that made you complete

Lindsey, I'll gladly donate $20 to you if you tell us what dirt on you that Trump told you he has that made you completely reverse course on hating/now loving him.

[Aussie105]

33. Trump's reach is so great . . .

Tied up with legal things, yet he has influence on what the government does!

How much greater will his reach be in the future, from inside a prison cell, or from the grave?
Boggles the mind!

[GenThePerservering]

35. I wish these people would realise

that money to Ukraine is an INVESTMENT. An investment in the future. Putin represents the dead past.

[Botany]

36. And President Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road."

Please mother fucker.

Ah Lindsey, Trump is no longer part of the Government that creates programs. He had zero authority to
do anything let alone create a loan package component to be part of US foreign policy.

WTF did Trump show Lindsey on that Columbus Day golf outing?

[Traurigkeit]

39. When will someone take the pain away from Lindsey ?

[LudwigPastorius]

40. Riiiiight, Lindseed. Trump, the guy who tried to blackmail Ukraine by withholding military aid, is coming to...

its rescue now.

Fuck you, you bald-faced, lying beeotch.

Then there's this:


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/12/trump-russia-ukraine-book-comments

“Trump made it very clear that he thought, you know, that Ukraine, and certainly Crimea, must be part of Russia,” Hill, senior director for European and Russian affairs on the US national security council between 2017 and 2019, tells David Sanger, a New York Times reporter...

-snip-

“He really could not get his head around the idea that Ukraine was an independent state.”

This, Sanger writes, meant Trump’s view of Ukraine was “essentially identical” to that of Vladimir Putin..

[BootinUp]

41. Sure Sure, Mikey and Trump saved the day, but their arms are sore as hell. nt

[GoodRaisin]

45. What? This lie is a real whopper, even for Trump and Graham.

It is widely known that Trump didn’t want Ukraine to get military aid or for Biden to have any legislative wins. So Trump lost control of half his House sheep and then suddenly tells Lindsey to go on TV and give Trump credit for the House bill’s passage? That’s a lie that doesn’t make any sense at all. What kind of flip flop are they trying to pull with this new lie? Did Trump just roll all the the Republicans who voted nay under the bus?

[Earth Bound Misfit]

46. Lapdog Lindsey...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

49. Lindsey you human doormat

Trump doesn't love you. He sees you as a useful idiot.

[Vinca]

50. Who's a good dog? Sit Lindsey, sit. Now roll over. Can you beg? Good boy.

[mwb970]

51. What a deeply pathetic little man.

History will not be kind.

[Oopsie Daisy]

52. He's been given a script to follow, along with a "reminder photo" of what they will publicly release *

* to expose the salacious details of his life. He's not so innocent.

[twodogsbarking]

53. Trump was resposible for the moon landing too. Ask Lindsey.

[viva la]

54. And Trump just trashed him last week

Graham is the most craven sycophant.

[2naSalit]

55. Like a weather vane in a hurricane...

All he can do is spin around at high velocity, a prisoner of his own nature.
