President Trump went on the offensive against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Thursday morning.
The president blasted Graham, his former rival for the 2016 Republican nomination, over comments Graham had made criticizing Trump's response to the violence last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Publicity seeking Lindsey Graham falsely stated that I said there is moral equivalency between the KKK, neo-Nazis & white supremacists......

***SNIP***
Graham said Wednesday that Trump was "dividing Americans" with his post-Charlottesville comments.
"Mr. President, I encourage you to try to bring us together as a nation after this horrific event in Charlottesville. Your words are dividing Americans, not healing them," Graham said in a statement to CNN.
"Through his statements yesterday, President Trump took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency between the white supremacist neo-Nazis and KKK members who attended the Charlottesville rally and people like [Heather] Heyer," Graham said. "I, along with many others, do not endorse this moral equivalency."
Heyer, 32, was killed when a vehicle plowed into a crowd of people Saturday in Charlottesville.
Trump followed his attack on Graham by taking aim at the "Fake News" on Thursday morning.
These losers are, well losers, Graham, Kasick, McLame etc.
A couple of other Tweets from the President at Circa in the article. I’m glad he’s not taking this crap laying down!
I’m sure the memes will flow of antifa’s flags with Lindsey in the foreground.
Sock it to the Swamp, Mr. President!
I think the President, and the majority of the country is getting tired of the BS going on. All of it condoned by the Congress!
Graham said Wednesday that Trump was “dividing Americans” with his post-Charlottesville comments.
Fascinating.
This whole “bring us together” thing is another foolish meme. America cannot be brought together. One side has to lose. This is war.
They just can’t shut their LOOKITMEEEEEE mouths
Still childishly jealous that Trump kicked their asses
Damn right for Trump to say this.
Graham just wanted a little CNN media attention.
Harlan Hill, a former Dem and FNC contributor, is rumored to be a 2020 challenger against Linda.
“Through his statements yesterday, President Trump took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency between the white supremacist neo-Nazis and KKK members who attended the Charlottesville rally and people like [Heather] Heyer,”
People like to argue that BLM has well meaning, but ignorant members that don’t really understand some of the stuff said by the leaders of the movement, but that all members of KKK, white supremists, etc. are evil.
Well, I go news for them. There are well meaning, but ignorant members of both sides. Those that fit into that group are fearful of the racially divisive message against their own race and are lashing out in the way that they came up with.
I have little doubt that if you were to interview some of the “neo-nazis” you would find that they just didn’t think too deeply about some of the “less savory” messages of the organization they have aligned themselves with. Same with some of the “useful idiot” members of the BLM, Black panthers, antifa, etc.
Bottom line is that they are ALL just human beings trying to do what they think is right to solve a problem they see. Sure, they are twisted, but that is true for both sides.
And both sides have well meaning useful idiots. The only way either side is “all evil” is in the sense that the bible says that all mankind is evil. The only one that isn’t was hung on a cross.
Bottom line: Trump rose above the fray and name calling with his “both sides are bad” comment. He was presidential.
Gee, Lindsey. too bad you didn’t say this in the Well of the Senate. Because now you can be sued for Slander.
Well, the DoJ certainly hasn’t rushed to bring charges against either Antifa or BLM.
Graham said Wednesday that Trump was “dividing Americans” with his post-Charlottesville comments.
And Graham is one he has exposed.
Of course ... because nothing brings Americans together like a bunch of mutant misfits brawling on the streets with each other.
I find it disgusting that the Left writes the narrative and the lackeys of the Republican Party go’ “ Yes sir boss doing it , doing it.”
Too bad I have lived long enough to see the demise of the Country I love.
Of course Graham uttered disgusting lies. He’s a disgusting liar. It’s what you do.
The President is correct in his statements. We all want to see Mr. Trump not only vanquish the opponents of Middle America but to rub their faces in it. Yet there is the agenda, the legislative pieces needed to make America great again. That seems to be as elusive as ever.
Trump should know by now that collusion doesn’t work. No more collusion with GOPe, no more collusion with the alt-left media. Mr President, please stay a fighter and never backtrack on doing and saying the right thing.
