Showing Original Post only (View all)Lindsey Graham: If You Try to Drive Trump Out of the GOP, 'Half the People Will Leave' [View all]
MediaiteSenator Lindsey Graham (R- SC) has made it clear over the past week he wants the GOP to embrace Donald Trump as its leader and thinks the party cant move forward without him.
Fox News Martha MacCallum spoke with Graham Tuesday and asked him about Senator Joni Ernst (R- IA) deeming the House GOP vote to oust Liz Cheney as cancel culture.
Graham took issue with that and said, Youre not entitled to be a leader. You have to earn that right. And if people dont think youre leading them well, they can fire you.
He said Cheney lost the confidence of House Republicans because shes trying to make the argument that the Republican party is better off without Donald Trump, that hes disqualified from being a member of the Republican party, that he should never be allowed to pursue office again."
