Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is recovering from a recent coronavirus infection, said he urged former President Trump to be more vocal about the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I’ve urged him to be aggressive and say, ‘Take the vaccine,’” Graham said in an interview with The Associated Press, which reported he urged Trump to "speak up."

Graham told the AP he spoke to Trump on Thursday, adding the former president has checked in with him every day since Graham's infection was discovered earlier this week.

The man is calling on him to check on his health and the first thing Graham does is stab him in the back. What a worthless POS.

Shouldn’t he be on a ventilator or something?

Oh that’s right - he drank the magic potion so it only made him lose his sense of taste and smell for a few days… like most people who didn’t drink the magic water.

There ain’t but a handful of Republicans that are worth the air they breathe, and Graham ISN’T one of them.

If Trump said “Take the vaccine”, Dems would try to ban it.

Biden and company should be pounded on every single day for throwing the border doors wide open just as we were turning the corner with Covid

The irony is lost on them.

Trump should “Speak Up”.

Where? You want him to “Tweet”? Maybe use “Social Media”.

What a bunch of a44holes.

President Trump DID take the vaccine, and the Democrats DID threaten to ban it back in October last year before the election. The Democrats claimed it was rushed, that President Trump had interfered with the FDA’s process, that it was dangerous, etc. Newsom and Cuomo both claimed they wouldn’t allow it in their states without doing their own independent clinical trials (which they never did).

Suddenly after the election, the Democrats changed their tune. But President Trump never changed his. He urged Americans to get vaccinated in December when he announced the first EUA for Pfizer. He continued to do so while in office. He’s continued to do so at rallies and at CPAC where he said directly: “Everybody go get your shot”.

Nothing ambiguous about it. Graham is an idiot. President Trump has done everything he can to promote vaccination. If some people don’t want to do it, that’s their decision to make.

Lindsey on health? No. His immune system (such as it is) has seen a thing or two.

Sorry, first part should read: “President Trump DID tell people to take the vaccine”.

I should do a better job proofreading. :-)
