Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina warned President Trump on Wednesday that his “words are dividing Americans, not healing them” in the wake of the bloody clashes in Virginia that has sparked a national conversation about white supremacists and race.
Mr. Graham also vowed that Republicans will “fight back against the idea that the party of Lincoln has a welcome mat out for the David Dukes of the world.”
“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 Ms. [Heather] Heyer,” Mr. Graham said, alluding to the 32-year-old who died after a man drove a car into a crowd of counterprotesters. “I, along with many others, do not endorse this moral equivalency.”

Linda can never miss a dig... Trump has always reject racism, KKK, neo-Nazis, and White supremacists. He has also, and specifically, rejected David Duke over and over again. Linda is playing the part of a NeverTrumper fool to criticize him or, more specifically, to suggest Trump has ever done differently. Pathetic.
No, if Lindsay has his way, it will become the party of Robert Byrd.
Him and McCain, it is all about being invited to appear on NBC or CNN.
For NBC and CNN it is all about being able to use the term bi-partisan criticism.
You can have several thousand Republicans say one thing, and as long as they can get McCain or Graham to support the leftist point of view they can call it bi-partisan.
The only real solution is to continue to work for a larger Republican Senate majority, so these hyper-rinos can be kicked out (hopefully primaried out) of office.
This lying pig KNOWS that Trump denounced David Duke. Trump defended the First Amendment and non violence. I spit on any scumbag politician that defends communist thugs. Begone republican party! You make me sick. Mitch McConnell pos too.
Lindsey prefers the Svoboda party.
Spot on!
Moron. No one is backing Duke, except the looks...on the other side! Certainly not the President, you deep state, swamp thing.
Sen. Lindsey Graham is a @@##$$%%@@@!
‘He ran in 1864 on the National Union Party ticket because a large faction of the GOP wouldn’t support him in his re-election bid.’
his name was mud in 1864, which goes to show what an arrogant, pompous ass McClellan was that he got 12 whole EV’s on election night...

Cool pic of Gramisty if someone can open it..lol
Graham is a dishonest politican (a tautology), and his unwillingness to state facts honestly is the hallmark of a coward. Tragically, there are so many of them in today’s Congress.
This is just the MSM aided by useful idiots like Linda Graham attempting to continue the legacy of the most racially and class-wise divisive president to ever serve- Barack Hussein Obama.
We already have the party of David Duke, it’s the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is the leading cause of slavery and has ties to oppression up to the 1960’s. The party should be disbanded and forced tho repay any public funds it has received. To hell with those statues. Tear that party down!
holeecrap how did this moron end up in the GOP
“Would somebody PLEASE break this moron’s jaw?”
What’s wrong with tar & feathering besides all the screaming?
I would say there are less than 100 White Supremacists in the Country. Whenever a Republican says this, the implication is that that is who we are. I am getting more and more close to leaving this Party all together.
Wait a minute..
The party of Lincoln was also the party of Martin Luther King and his father....
The Democrat Party was the party of the KKK, and the slave owners of the south..
Roger Taney...a Jacksonian Democrat, was made Chief Justice by Jackson(the founder of the Democrat Party). Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, holding that office from 1836 until his death in 1864. He delivered the majority opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), that ruled, among other things, that African-Americans, having been considered inferior at the time the United States Constitution was drafted, were not part of the original community of citizens and, whether free or slave, could not be considered citizens of the United States, which created an uproar among abolitionists and the free states of the northern U.S. Note: The Dred Scott decision was during the term of Democrat President James Buchanan.
Jefferson Davis..... politician who served as the President of the Confederate States from 1861 to 1865. He was a member of the Democratic Party who represented Mississippi in the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives prior to becoming president of the Confederacy. He was the 23rd United States Secretary of War, serving under U.S. President Franklin Pierce from 1853 to 1857.
Robert E Lee... Lee served as a senior military adviser to President Jefferson Davis. After the war, Lee supported Democrat President Andrew Johnson’s program of Reconstruction while opposing the Radical Republican proposals to give freed slaves the vote and take the vote away from ex-Confederates.
Stop talking. Do yourself a favor and stop talking. Take your strawman and go home.
Lindsey Graham
Isn’t that the village idiot that slipped out of his town?
