Lindsey Graham’s moment, it seemed, came on the evening of Jan. 6. With crews still cleaning up the blood and broken glass left by the mob that just hours before had stormed the Capitol, he took the Senate floor to declare, “Count me out” and “Enough is enough.”
Half a year later, a relaxed Mr. Graham, sitting in his Senate office behind a desk strewn with balled napkins and empty Coke Zero bottles, says he did not mean what almost everybody else thought he meant.
“That was taken as, ‘I’m out, count me out,’ that somehow, you know, that I’m done with the president,” he said. “No! What I was trying to say to my colleagues and to the country was, ‘This process has come to a conclusion.’ The president had access to the courts. He was able to make his case to state legislators through hearings. He was disappointed he fell short. It didn’t work out. It was over for me.”
What was not over for the senator from South Carolina was his unlikely — to many people, confounding — relationship with that president, Donald J. Trump.

If he’s gotta explain it
He’s lying.

No need to read any further, it’s an anti-Trump screed
All POS article
Originally from the NYT...
Like a Democrat if he, Lindsey Graham is speaking then he is lying.
That ship sailed a long time ago.
He is a Democrat... So....
It ain’t easy being grey.
When the world is shaping into right/wrong, up/down, black/white, there is no middle room for those who want to blend their moderate attitudes and decisions.
Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. No one has the crime or energy to humor you anymore. Stay in the middle and you are going to get turned into a speed bump. And I’m ok with that, too.
