Lindsey Graham responds to 'clueless' Biden: 'It's not personal'
The Hill ^ | 12/22/20 01:43 PM EST | BY JOSEPH CHOI

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said "it's not personal" on Tuesday when asked about President-elect Joe Biden's remarks that Graham was a “personal disappointment” to him.

Graham made the statement while appearing on “Fox & Friends” to speak about the recently passed $2.3 trillion spending bill and the federal investigation on the business dealings of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, in Ukraine.

On Friday, Biden said Graham's criticism of him and his son Hunter Biden was was a "personal disappointment” due to their previous friendship.

During the Tuesday interview, host Katie Pavlich raised the issue, noting that outgoing Attorney General William Barr has said he does not think a special counsel is needed for a probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings, a stance Graham disagreed with.

"I like Joe Biden and I like Jill. This is not easy. Hunter Biden's had all kinds of problems." said Graham. "What happened here is that Hunter Biden took advantages of his position of being the vice president's son. I'm disappointed that Joe Biden let this happen. He obviously is pretty much clueless."

He added, "It's not personal and it breaks my heart that this happened, but I'm hell-bent on making sure we live in a country where everybody gets looked at when there's a reason."

Graham had considered Biden a close friend in the Capitol in the past, once saying Biden was "the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics."

Lyndsey is such a dumb ass. Remember him waxing on about what a wonderful person Biden is?.,,, one of the best people God ever put on this earth? The first chance he gets, Biden slides the knife in his ribs. Too bad Lindsey is probably not teachable.

If he means it, good, appoint a special prosecutor.

Graham has gone and done it now. He’s made Slow Joe mad at him.

Will Biden make Graham kowtow in public, or in private?
Just curious.

Joe Biden was not clueless on what is son was doing. He was colluding and and personally profited from the crime. Graham is the clueless apologist if he really thinks that Biden was unaware of Hunter’s illegal cash producing activities. In fact Graham is little better than the MSM that colluded with Biden by not investigating or reporting on the hard drive. Joe Biden is a corrupt, vile man who used his diseased, addicted son as his bagman.

This is fake!

Lindsey had 1460 days to subpoena Hunter of James, or Burisma associates.

1460 days - to do as he promised!

He Protected Joe the whole way!

He even went to Barr and said that it would tear apart the country to indict Hunter Biden.

Come on. 1460 days!

No, this is all just part of the kabuki theater to blow smoke on Joe’s direct connection to the money train. At some point Hunter get a hand slap, but that eill be the extent. Lindsey is throwing chafe for slow Joe.

He obviously is pretty much clueless.

You don't demand a 50% royalty on family members peddling your name if you are clueless. That's like saying the NFL is clueless on the payment for every team jersey being sold by Nike.

This is Boehner ripping Obama - and then secretly meeting with him in the White House to get his agenda through.

Simple.
