Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pleaded with fellow Republicans to back Donald Trump’s choice as attorney general, Matt Gaetz, after initially sounding skeptical about the bombshell pick. Appearing on Fox News’ Hannity on Wednesday, Graham said: “To every Republican, give Matt a chance.”

His remark came amid a growing rebellion from GOP ranks over the surprise decision. Several Republican senators openly showed their disdain, saying it wasn’t a “serious” appointment.

Graham told Sean Hannity: “I’m telling my Democratic friends, elections have consequences whether you like it or not. You are accusing Matt of doing the very thing that you did. Matt Gaetz didn’t lie under oath, Matt Gaetz did not sign FISA warrants that were based on Russian disinformation, so we’re going to give the president a chance to put his people forward.”

Earlier Wednesday, Graham was less certain about the choice. He was asked by CNN’s Manu Raju what he thought about Gaetz being nominated as Trump pieced together his Cabinet following his 2024 presidential election victory. Graham replied: “I don’t know yet, I’ll have to think about that one.” “Do you have any concerns about him?” he was asked. “We’ll see,” Graham replied.

1. Yeah, come on fellas. He just raped a few young girls. What's the big deal?

I guess Lindsey was reminded of the compromat

[Irish_Dem]

31. He needs to stop drinking too.

[Walleye]

35. I get the feeling these Republican assholes drink a lot, it's a macho thing.And maybe they don't like what they're doing

[Ocelot II]

2. He got a phone call from a 561 area code.

[Irish_Dem]

32. 495 or 499

3. Lindsey is trying to do everything he can do to keep the videos of him banging a 14 year old boy on Epstein's Island

from being made public.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. I remember

when Lindsey was extremely out spoken about Trump. So Trump invited him up to a round of golf at his club.
He returned to Carolina, and on Monday he began being Trumps best supporter actually defending Trump being impeached.......
My thoughts were that Putin had sent an 8x10 Color glossy of Lindsey to use in blackmailing him.
I wondered what could the photo have been???. Everyone knows he is a homosexual.......The only thing I could think of was exactly what you said, him photographed on Epstein's plane or one of his retreats, doing a male child. Not only would that have gotten him thrown out as a Senator, but probably would have led to criminal prosecution. Obviously, whatever it was frightened him.....

Putin had been grooming all kinds of up and coming people for decades, and had collected all kinds of kompromat on all of them for future use. I would love to see the 8x10 color glossies that he has on Trump......probably stuff involving Epstein's activities....

[LiberalArkie]

33. That was my thinking also since with another guy would not even raise a blip on a Bible Belt republican.

It has not been generally talked about the kink island about boys but some of the girls mentioned boys being on the island for those inclined that direction. And generally the younger the more money to be made for either sex.

[DENVERPOPS]

34. makes me wonder

if Epstein wasn't a Russian Agent......think of the kompromat on politicians and uber wealthy that he could provide Putin with.....

[LiberalArkie]

38. I have thought so for a long time since his clientele was with very wealthy and powerful. And he was very

protected for many years. Even after his death and even now..

If all his stuff was released it would loose its effectiveness. It would be stale information. But like it is, it is very powerful.

[lanlady]

41. Epstein worked for Mossad

--that's the rumor anyway, and it makes more sense than Epstein working for the Russians.

Don't underestimate Mossad. They're aggressive, shameless, and ruthless.

[okaawhatever]

45. Mossad could have sold/traded the info to the Russians. nt

[Walleye]

36. With the circles and arrows, and a paragraph on the back of each one describing what each one is

[Prairie Gates]

4. Artemy Kuznetsov made the dead drop

He has his instructions from the FSB. He knows what happens if he strays.

[Sneederbunk]

5. The Gaetz appointment was genius.

It got Gaetz to resign, thus avoiding damaging ethics report and Trump will now drop him. Gaetz will never be AG and he is gone. Repugs do not like him.

[maxsolomon]

23. Please don't give that Motherfucker credit for "genius".

Trolling is not "genius".

[Sneederbunk]

43. Do you actually think the appointment was TSF's idea?

[maxsolomon]

44. I don't want to think about it.

Who knows.

I just know he's not a genius.

[badgolfer]

6. Graham

Why does the MSM always run to Senator Graham to get his opinion?

This guy is as hypocritical as they come!!

[travelingthrulife]

7. Seriously, that man has zero integrity.

But I guess that is why the media likes him.

[hadEnuf]

15. How can anybody take Graham seriously?

He is such a blatant suckass.

[spooky3]

9. And a complete liar about Dems. Nt

[Walleye]

37. Really I couldn't believe the way he slandered Joe Biden, who he knew to be a good man

[dchill]

12. It's part of the joke they're playing on us.

As a lib, I feel owned every single time.

[ificandream]

40. Because he's a senior Republican senator.

Yes, he's hypocritical, but people should see that hypocrisy as often as he lets it out.

[BlueKota]

8. Lindsay should change his first name

to Waffles. The Waffler in Chief! I wonder if he has a split personality and debates himself in the mirror? Little weasel, with all due apologies to weasels.

[zorbasd]

10. There must be a response

to his FISA warrant BS lies.

[LittleGirl]

11. FFS, come on. JFC, nt

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. Lapdog Lindsey tells it like it... no...

Lapdog Lindsey is a hollowed-out pleasure tool for the crazy king.

[ColoradoHoosier]

14. Has there ever been a more definitive manifestation of blackmail...

...than the case of Lindsay Graham? I can't even think of a fictional example that surpasses it. It's just so obvious. And those who have often suggested it is because he's afraid of being outed as gay? Well of course he's gay! That's not what the blackmail is about, as several of you have already alluded to in this post. It's something so serious, he is literally terrified of it coming out. And yes, he gets frequent reminders. You can see it on his face when he does.

[hueymahl]

16. Lindsey is a twat

One of my favorite expressions from across the pond - fits him perfectly.

[Freethinker65]

17. Lindsey's days are coming to an end. He will soon no longer be of use to Trump.

[Emile]

18. All Republicans are ASS KISSERS.

[Joe_Gadway]

19. Graham sold his soul...

...to Trump a long time ago.

And the idea that presidents should get whoever they want is false and unconstitutional.
The Constitution gives the president power to appoint and the Senate power to accept or reject.

Senators are supposed to use their own judgment to make sure America gets good and competent officials.

There is no hint in the Constitution that presidents are supposed to get whoever they want.

[Butterflylady]

21. Dump definitely

Has the goods on Graham.

He flips around like a caught fish.

[Trueblue1968]

24. Graham is an asshole and i hate his guts. I want him gone ... Anyway, anyhow. Just make him go away.

[maxrandb]

25. MAGA goons could come on the floor of the Senate and drag Thune, Collins, Romney and Murkowski out at gunpoint

and Lindsey would plead that we "give them the benefit of the doubt".

He's a vapid coward.

[BrianTheEVGuy]

26. Wait until the House Ethics report comes out

I’m itching to see Amy Klobuchar grill Gaetz about it in Senate testimony.

[Deminpenn]

27. Actually kind of surprised Trump

didn't nominate Graham for AG, it may be nominating Gaetz was the best way to get him out of Mike Johnson's hair in the House

[PortTack]

28. Yeah....he always does that...nothing new

[JustAnotherGen]

29. Yep

Told all y'all!

[The Roux Comes First]

30. What a Worm He Has Turned Out to Be! Well, When At His Best

Sorry, worms. You deserve better. At least you enrich the soil.

[cstanleytech]

39. You can always count on a good ass tonguing from Lindsey.

[Oopsie Daisy]

42. I've read online that the photos that Trump and Putin are using to blackmail LG must be quite the scandal *

* or something that could put LG in prison for the rest of his life.
