Graham Accuses GOP Voters of Racism: ‘Visceral,’ ‘Irrational’ Hatred of Obama

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says GOP front-runner Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls because nearly half of Republican primary voters think President Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim.

“Well there’s about 40 percent of the Republican primary voter who believes that Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim,” Graham told Boston Herald Radio on Friday, according to BuzzFeed News.

“There’s just a dislike for President Obama that is visceral. It’s almost irrational,” Graham added. Graham said Trump will not get 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency if he doesn’t grow support with the Hispanic community.

Our Congress is full of sanctimonious gray haired old men like Lindsey who have long since outlived their credibility and become hopelessly mired in irrelevance, corruption and embarrassment which in Lindsey’s case is best evidenced by his 0 % poll rating.

The only thing left for Lindsey is to get caught in a bathroom stall in some airport somewhere like that “other guy” did. When that happens, MAYBE the people of South Carolina will awaken from their front porch snooze and not vote for him again.

It seems like he knows how to prevent Cantorization. He loads up the field with cash from whomever he works for, then wins narrowly. I don’t know. What do I know? I do know these guys, especially him, do not work for their constituents yet they get voted in every time.

Graham must bring a lot of pork home to South Carolina.

Otherwise, why does a fairly conservative Southern state continue to return Graham to DC?

Someone needs to tell Graham that nobody is listening to him and his opinions are influencing nobody.

His military service (yeah JAG) gets him elected. Guess those folks there are fixated on all things military. Least that’s what a shooting buddy from SC tells me about the reason he gets re-elected.

Graham is saying exactly what the GOPe want him to say.

Oh and BTW. I despise the ground Obama walks on and the air that he breathes. And if Graham doesn’t like it he can go straight to Hell.
