Lindsey Graham: ‘I Don’t Know What America First Means’
Breitbart ^ | 1/22/2017

Posted on 01/22/2017 1:19:40 PM PST by Altura Ct.

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” while discussing President Donald Trump’s inaugural address calling for his policy to be informed by putting “America first,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-SC) said, “I don’t know what America first means.”

Graham said, “To the president, if America first is a throwback to the 20’sand 30’s isolationism when it was first used as a phrase, the world would deteriorate even quicker, if it is a new way of Ronald Reagan’s peace through strength I would like to work with him. I don’t know what America first means.”

I hope whoever might plan on running against him, records that soundbite.

Unfortunately, there are a ton of born and raised SC natives who think he’s a great Conservative/Republican/Senator/etc. They will love voting for him again in 2020. We are stuck with him for as long as he wants to be a “Senator from SC”.

Graham - "I don't know what 'America First' means".

I know what you WANT it to mean, Linda.

"America First" was the slogan of the non-interventionist, anti-war groups against the entry of America into World War Two.

These groups became very unpopular and were tabbed "unpatriotic".

Linda wants to connect anything fringy, leftist, pacifist or unpatriotic to President Trump.

Which makes some sense because Linda and his Insignificant Other, McCain, are considered Hawks, not Doves.

Too bad they can't grasp the fact that the President is an Eagle!

Donald Trump Derangement Syndrome does this to 97-pound weaklings like McCain and Graham....

.....however, President Charles Atlas Trump is kicking sand in their faces and these two have already buckled with their sudden backing down and change of position today.

I will be suggesting they terminate. Those elements that are unique and VALUABLE shifted to CIA. The waste of our money here is staggering.

This is disingenuous. There’s a third option — that it just means putting America’s interests first.

I googled it. I found a reference from history that has no application or relevance to contemporary issues. Any other pedantic recommendations?

The only reason linda gets reelected here in SC is that we have open primaries and the RATS can cross over and vote for her.

I understand there’s some movement in the legislature to fix this.

That DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. Not only in South Carolina (where it may be easier with Nikki Haley off the scene) but ALSO IN ARIZONA where it is used to get and keep RINOs in office.
