Lindsey Graham urged police officers to use their guns during the January 6th riot at the Capitol, pressing them to “take back the Senate!”
The quotes, since confirmed to Fox News by the senator’s office, surfaced in a new Washington Post investigative report detailing the events of that day.
Graham, according to the report, was livid that senators had been forced to flee their chambers due to protesters that had entered the Capitol.
“What are you doing? Take back the Senate! You’ve got guns. Use them,” he told police personnel.

Tucker Carlson’s series on this should be interesting
Talk about a backstabber.
Same story pulled as fake earlier today....
Do the dirty work for me! I am too important to not run and hide!
Forgive me if I ever said anything good about Linda.

When Wild Bill Hickok was a sheriff, he got a lot more done just by pistol whipping offenders. He shot plenty of course; but he was tall and strong and intimidating and he could knock people out with an iron smack upside the head.
Of course I think of the westerns, fire a couple of warning shots to get the crowd’s attention. Maybe against policy, but in the movies it usually works ;-)
What? There were no social workers around?
so lindsay wanted the capitol police to fire on FBI agents in the protest? how negatively violent of you sir lindsay
Bullets fired into the air eventually fall to earth. When you are in a city that's a bad thing if a person happens to be standing where the bullet comes down.
A coward. A big mouth but cowers under any threat. The term POS was invented for Linda.
Yes, I meant shoot into the cross beams and rafters in the ceiling, not wildly into the outside air above. I am pretty sure “warning shots” are a bad idea and against policy in any case.
That was my thought too. They would never shoot on a crowd led by FBI agents, informants and provocateurs.
We’ve always known Graham hated Trump, and his supporters. You couldn’t have had your head stuck up John McCain’s ass for that many years, and not have absorbed the hate that man was infected with.
What did he say when BLM and Antifa were attacking the White House when all those secret service men were hurt?
I think that Woman was shot in the front not back!
This dude needs a recall vote.
This is beyond the pale.
I think it was LS that postulated pre Twitter ban: the reason they were and are so mad is because of the pictures of them cowering in fear at the mere thought of the great unwashed.
I agree. It wreaks of seething anger born from being embarrassed and demeaned.
He was scared. Poor baby.
Ashli Babbitt probably would think a warning shot was a good idea.
Linda needs to resign; too bad that SC doesn't have a recall statute. He has displayed an utter contempt for the right of people to protest, a right that he swore to "preserve, protect and defend" as a member of the military and as a Senator.
