Lindsey Graham says he'd welcome Caitlyn Jenner as a political ally. He'd work with Democrats on entitlement reforms. And he'd lower climate-harming emissions to address global warming.
As long as you agree there's "too much debt, too many terrorists," the South Carolina senator and 2016 presidential contender says there's room in his Republican Party for you.
"Here's what I would say to the talk show hosts: In the eyes of radical Islam, they hate you as much as they hate Caitlyn Jenner," Graham said. "They hate us all because we won't agree to their view of religion. So America, we are all in this together." ....
On domestic issues, Graham said he's not compromising on his own principles: He opposes abortion and supports traditional marriage -- but "without animosity."
"But if we can't agree on abortion, let's talk about taxes. We're literally all in this together," Graham said.
Asked about Jenner, the former Olympian who is now a transgender woman, who also said she is a Republican, Graham said he is "into addition."
"I haven't walked in her shoes. I don't have all the answers to the mysteries of life," he said. "I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope he's -- I hope she has found peace."
"I'm a pro-life, traditional marriage kind of guy, but I'm running to be president of the United States. If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a Republican, she is welcome in my party," Graham said.
He also said he believes the climate is changing as a result of emissions caused by man, and that he'd support "business-friendly" restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions.
He said other Republican presidential contenders should be asked, "What is the environmental policy of the Republican Party?" (snip)

I wonder how this will affect and wrongful death/murder charges that should be filed against him/her.
Because the next great civil rights battle is for openly transgendered soldiers?

Not criticizing your post just generally sick of Bruce Jenner, weak rino candidates saying they are running for President and our news culture in general.
If South Carolina could re-elect this lunatic, there is NO hope whatsoever for the United States.
My tent is not big enough for Graham.
When it comes to Graham, tents and Bruce Jender, the only tent Graham is excited about is the pup tent Bruce Jender is giving him in his britches.
If ever there was a staged issue this is it. Now all the Republican candidates, real and fake (Linsey is in the fake category) will be asked about Jender. What? Jender can vote for whomever it chooses. Jender will not force rational people into redefining reality.
Next ridiculous question.
Fine with me if Bruce wants to vote Republican.
Doesn’t bother me a bit. He probably understands the pro-Islam Democrat party will wink at the terrorists who would behead him. Republicans do not want Islamofascists to rule the world.
I think Graham helps Ted Cruz in SC- he divides the Rino vote, and creates a foil for Cruz.
Or a girlfriend. :-)
No......Linda Graham needs a man part to love
I think Caitlyn is keeping that. :-)
Lindsey is pitchin’ tent for Caitlyn Jenner?
Doesn't matter anyhow, Annie Leibovitz photoshoops her work (or more accurately has staff do it) these days.
I can’t believe there are people who still think moderates can win after Dole, McCain and Romney. Insane.
Oh I figured ‘it’ was going the full mutilation route.
I think he really just wants to wear high heels and makeup. :-)
The current pix have he/she/it look pretty trim.
