Lindsey Graham Slams Democrats: If Filibuster Is ‘Tool of Racism, Why Did They Use It So Much?’

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defended the filibuster on Thursday, which his Democrat colleagues have routinely characterized as racist, questioning why the left has used the supposed “tool of racism so much” when they were in the minority.

“The President of the United States … has called every Republican, every person who supports Georgia voting reform, Jim Crow 2.0,” Graham said at a Thursday press conference alongside Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Ted Cruz (R-TX).

“The terms being used to try to bully us into agreeing to this agenda won’t work,” he said, noting he wants to work with Democrats on police reform.

2018 Democrats: "We love the filibuster! It's the cooling saucer of our government! It encourages bipartisanship and compromise."
2021 Democrats: "The filibuster is racist, it's Jim Crow, a tool of segregationists!"
2025 Democrats (if the GOP wins the House, Senate and White House): "We love the filibuster!"

Not the GOP aren't hypocrites on it too, shifting positions every few years depending on the current political makeup of Congress and the presidency, but at least they don't use this "it's disgusting racism" line while many of the same exact individuals saying that now happily used the filibuster just a couple of short years ago.

Kind of self-explanatory if one studies history a wee bit there, Captain obvious GrahamIdiot.

Democrats are and have been the party of racism.

Linda is a heavyweight. Does he care what others think? I think not. He dishes it out. We don’t have enough of them.

“Does he care what others think?”

Of course not...otherwise, he wouldn’t flip-flop so much. But then, I guess he has to keep his tan even.
