In a rare display of spine, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has come out in defense of former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), urging other RINOs to abandon the “lynch mob mentality” over unverified allegations as Gaetz seeks confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General.
Graham, who has long been criticized for vacillating between conservative principles and appeasing moderates, appears to be drawing a line in the sand ahead of his 2026 reelection bid.

I think they got dirt on him too.
Memories are foggy but somewhere I want to recall a story about the staffers and Senate offices that were being spied on by DOJ somewhere, can’t remember. This might be a case of opportunity for some Republicans who hated the deep state just as much.
Yep. I wouldn’t buy a used car from him.
I think there will be a few Dems support Gaetz in the end. Bernie Sanders seems like he is open to supporting him. Democrats in red states beware.
What does Gaetz have on Lindsey?
Nice. At least Lindsay can be encouraged to fly right.
Closing ranks seems to me to be a good idea.
Smart of Trump to put all these names out there early. By the time it’s time for the actual confirmation votes all this will be Old News and everyone will have had a chance to make their senators aware of what is expected. The media has cried russiarussiarussia too often to have any credibility left when they get outraged over stuff.
I think he may finally see that America VOTED for CHANGE !!!!
Graham is somebody few people on FR like
but
he does come out with good positions on things from time to time,
he deserves credit, applause when he does. the criticisms can wait until he pulls another boner. ok?
Linseed to the rescue. 😉
I’m more worried about lame duck Never-Trumpers like Mitch McConnell (2 years left). He may be the deciding vote on the Gaetz nomination.
He was on Hannity last night before I could change the channel and he was talking on the Ukraine thing.
I was shocked that he has changed his tune on this topic.
Of course like all Rhinos he says one thing and does another...
That’s Lindsey sticking his finger in the air again and determining that the wind is blowing in a different direction.
Maybe he also has nightmares of being booed at a Trump Rally.
I saw this story, was shocked to see that Grahamnesty was going to back Gaetz, and then I saw the comment that says “his 2026 reelection bid.”
Lindsay always moves to the Right when he is inside a two-year approach of another reelection.
South Carolinians: do us all a favor and please don’t take the bait again. Throw this two-faced fraud out in 2026.
Lindsey seems to understand what is necessary to save his job. Other RINOs should follow his example.
He’s made the inside deal to block Gaetz.
Now he can come out in front and pound the table.
What a prissy beyotch.
Linda is up for reelection VERY SOON, I don’t think he will survive the primary this time out he NEEDS TO GO!!!
They showed Linda what they have on him/her.
