Lindsey Graham makes a joke about the murder of Ted Cruz
Blasting News ^ | February 25, 2016 | Mark R. Whittington

While the Republican presidential candidates who are left standing battled it out in Houston, Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose quest for the Oval Office never quite caught fire, addressed the Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner and said some pretty alarming things. He demonstrated how much he detested his fellow senator Ted Cruz by joking about him being murdered. "If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you.” One wonders if that is a breach of Senate etiquette. Cruz has said some pretty raw things about his fellow senators, even calling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar on the floor of the Senate. But he has not, so far as can be determined, ever imagined any of them being killed.

Graham and McCain actively arm al Qaeda against Americans
and the former calls for the murder of a US Senator.

Where is the Secret Service?
Will they wait for an attack again?

I’m not fond of Cruz at all but this is beyond the pale.

They are really baring their asses, aren’t they? All these DC insiders.

When will we ever rid ourselves of Juan and Linda?

We have a chance to finally rid ourselves of McCain this November, with this fine lady:

We are stuck with Linda Graham until the 2020 election.

It is unbelievable that she can get away with saying something like that. Of course since she is a queer and a protected class nothing will happen to her.

There is a saying pigs feast, hogs go to slaughter. These hogs have fattened themselves up at the public trough well past marketable weight.

The curtain has been peeled back and it is uglier than even I imagined. Absolutely disgusting.

Lindsay Graham’s entire existence is a joke, and a weak one.

And still, none of these guys even TRIES to make the case that man is a liar, only that it is in bad taste to point it out on the Senate floor, something akin to making a remark about Queen Elizabeth farting or something.

A picture tells a thousand words and Ted comes across as someone who does not bend to the left or the establishment,.

I find all this talk about murdering people in the street or on the Senate floor very, very disturbing!

IF you or I would say any such thing...they’d be hauling us off to investigation and jail!!!

Something is very wrong here folks. And it ain’t just Trump! But, in some ways he has opened this particular can of worms several times now and it seems to be infectious.

Things are so dangerous right now. Talk of murdering citizens and senators or Presidential Candidates (Cruz is still a candidate).

I just cannot believe the things being thrown about so casually!

Everyone at this should have gotten up and left. This is supposed to be one of our representatives? He proves just how rotten and corrupt Washington DC really is.
