Sen. Lindsey Graham Is The White House's Favorite Republican For Funding Amnesty

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest twice cited Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) support for funding President Obama's executive amnesty program during Monday's White House press briefing.

"I am willing and ready to pass a DHS funding bill and let this play out in court," Graham told ABC News Sunday, referring to U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen's decision last week to issue an injunction blocking Obama's Deferred Action for Parental Accountability program.

House Republicans already passed a bill to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, but Senate Democrats are filibustering that bill since it would defund the Department of Homeland Security's ability to give work permits to illegal immigrants. DHS funding will expire unless a new bill is passed by Friday.

Graham wants his fellow Republicans to join Senate Democrats and pass a "clean" DHS funding bill that wold allow Obama to give illegal immigrants work permits, Social Security numbers, and drivers licenses.

During the daily White House press briefing Monday, Earnest twice urged Republicans to join with Graham and Democrats to fund Obama's amnesty program.

"Again, Senator Graham, if you listen to his comments -- I think he is somebody who does have a good sense of the way that these politics affect his party -- said that he was confident that his party was going to get blamed," Earnest said referring to the possibility that Obama would choose to prioritize his amnesty program above paying Department of Homeland Security employees. "And that does seem to be where we’re headed, and that’s disappointing."

Senator Linda Graham, compliments of the good folk in
South Caroline. Remember, they were the ones who solidified the candidacy of his playmate, John McCain. in 2008.

Along with his best buddy, John McCain, all I see is a group of “COWARDS”, trying to pass the “BUCK” to someone else to decide what they should be doing all along.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest twice cited Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) support for funding President Obama's executive amnesty program during Monday's White House press briefing.

Here's two reasons why Earnest had no problem saying that:

The national GOPe, Dem crossovers, and the MSM elected Sweet Linda.

8 million in campaign lying and avoiding all confrontational exposure with any of his fellow candidates.

Even his facebook page was scrubbed of negative comments almost daily.

Limpsey hid, and let the money get him elected.

Just like Rubio will, Linda will run a campaign for the purpose of gaining the support of some subset of people (in this case- pro amnesty types) and at a late date he will get out of the race and throw his support to Jeb. This is all becoming so obvious.

Senator Graham, enemy of USA, domestic. This man should be so far removed from governing anything to do with me and mine.
