During a time when the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, should be working to bring the party together and prepare for the primary battle against Hillary Clinton, he continues to deepen the divide between Republicans and Americans alike.
Trump’s recent attack on U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel because of his Mexican-American background prompted Sen. Lindsey Graham to round up the Republicans who have previously endorsed Donald Trump, and persuade them to take it all back.
Graham claimed that Trump’s racist remarks were “the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy.”
“If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” Graham told The New York Times.”
Senator Graham elaborated on this during an interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson.
“There are a lot of people who want to be loyal to the Republican Party, including me,” he said. “But there’ll come a point in time where we’re gonna have to understand that it’s not just about the 2016 race, it’s about the future of the party and I would like to support our nominee. I just can’t.”
Donald Trump claimed that Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over the Trump University case, has been biased toward him because of his Latino heritage.
“I couldn’t disagree more with a statement like that,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday.
“Those kinds of comments are very serious to me,” Rep. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said to News radio WGAN. “They are completely unacceptable, and what they indicate — which is why I think this is so serious — is a lack of respect for our judicial system and for the separation of powers doctrine that is enshrined in the Constitution.”
Although many Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, have condemned Trump’s accusations, they continue to support him.
Trump just keeps racking up endorsements!
I don’t know how many seats are up for grabs in the Senate but I think Trump will causeba few upsets to more than offset Lindsey’s defecrion.
Well, bye.
So is she removing herself from the GOP senatorial ballot?
Bye-Bye Lindsay!
Actually, that would only be making it OFFICIAL, on paper. That slimeball Lindsey has been living, talking and voting like a ‘Rat for decades. Having him actually switch parties on paper would be a relief.....not unlike having a laxative go to work.....if you get my drift.
Do it, you jackwipe.
LINDSEY might as well join the nude demonstrators at the convention. He has lost all dignity.
Please go Lindsey, you pusillanimous puke!
GFY, Linda Graham.
Please, please go, Linda! Go be with your indeterminate people!
Linda just means that she is going to COME OUT OF THE CLOSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, please go, Linda! Go be with your indeterminate people!
I thought Linda was already a Dem NO LOSS AT ALL!!! Bye Bye Linda do us ALL a YUGE FAVOR and be GONE!!!!
When you go Democrat, say Hi to Arlen Specter for us.
It worked out for him soooo well for him
Bye bye.
If true, that says it all. Yet another great thing about Trump is the outing of Rinos. What a big closet they've been packed/packing in.
yes, show her the door....hope her skirt doesn’t get caught in the door jam....
What a loser!
The homo means “register”; he’s already a democrap.
