Lindsey Graham says it’s probably best that Trump won’t attend Biden’s inauguration
The State ^ | Jan 15, 2021 | Joseph Bustos

After last week’s Capitol riot that left five people dead, Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said President Donald Trump’s decision not to attend Joe Biden’s inauguration is probably for the best.

Outgoing presidents traditionally attend their successors swearing-in to illustrate the peaceful transfer of power. But the Jan. 6 riot at the capitol preceded by Trump’s comments have led to security concerns in Washington, D.C., and around the country.

“The statement he gave a couple of days ago was a major step in the right direction renouncing violence, saying that violence is not part of his movement,” Graham said speaking to reporters on Friday. “I reject tarnishing every Trump supporter by the actions of the rioters. Not going to the inauguration, maybe that’s best now, given the situation we’re in.”

Graham said he continues to encourage Trump and his administration to help with the transition.

But as the transition takes place to the Biden administration, the House of Representatives has impeached Trump for a second time, and the Senate is preparing for a possible trial and vote to bar the president from holding office again.

I wish the TURDle would put something in Lynda’s mouth to shut him up. Getting ran over my a big rig would be preferable though.

I agree. Trump would be a distraction. Be gracious in some other way.

Worthless. The president has never suggested violence. Ever. The left has repeatedly just in the last 9 months.

Wow Lindsay, that’s a lot of words to simply say that, in your opinion, president Trump has lost face and should never show it again in public. I sure hope N.C. has a better memory than they’ve shown toward you thus far.

Wasn't so long ago this idiot was BEGGING for Trump's support in his last election - whoring himself on TV too asking for donations for his campaign.

I'm with Trump: I won't be watching either. I do not wish to hear a word this degenerate fraud has to say. Ever. I plan to boycott everything he says and does. Illegitimate President.

I want to know when the Media-Dem Party has EVER counted people who die of medical reasons during a rally, demonstrations, or riots as casualties of the event. The ONLY real casualty of the incident was Ashli Babbitt who was murdered by a Capitol cop. The cop who died a few days later turns out that his family says that he wasn’t hit with anything and they want the politicization of his death to stop. Two other people died of heart attacks. There is a report that one woman died of injuries received when she fell down and someone else fell on her, a tragic accident.

I want to know how many people dropped dead or died accidentally during last years Black Lies Matter riots.

Why would Trump give even one ounce of cred to a coup?

What’s the problem. Apparently, President Trump feels the same way.
