Trump mocks Lindsey Graham, calling him a 'progressive senator from South Carolina'
Businessinsider.in ^ | 3/21/22 | Cheryl Teh

Former President Donald Trump mocked Sen. Lindsey Graham during a speech at Mar-a-Lago, calling him a "progressive."

"There are a couple of senators. And we have our progressive senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham," Trump said at the Lincoln Day fundraising dinner held by the Palm Beach County GOP at Mar-a-Lago.

"He's a progressive, but he's our progressive," Trump added.

Trump's mocking of Graham came a day after news broke that Graham may have threatened to seek to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office during the Capitol riot.

This was according to excerpts Axios published from "This Will Not Pass," a new book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns. Martin and Burns wrote that Graham made a furious call to White House counsel Pat Cipollone during the riot, where he made that threat.

It's nice that he realizes this, but he helped get Graham reelected in 2020.

Although there wasn't any real opposition.

And the last time there was real opposition in 2014 it was Nancy Mace, who ALSO needs to be replaced and will be losing her primary.

So water stuck with him.

Lindsay Gramnesty, just like the Turtle, sailed to reelection on Trump's coattails in 2020 and are now safely ensconced until 2026.

RINO traitors.

Grass root Republican voters must never forget how it was RINO-controlled state legislatures who handed the Steal to the Dems in 2020 and are doing nothing to prevent it from happening again.

Oust the RINO scum in the 22 primaries, especially in the state legislatures. Rinse and repeat every 2 years. That is the only way we will ever get our country back.

It is not BLUE vs RED.

It is BLUE vs RED with blue infiltrators.

Uniparty = Dems and RINOs

No more RINOs = No more stolen elections.

That’s one of the nicer things that can be said about Senator Graham.

I have relatives in SC. They still don’t know Linda is gay. When I informed them, they didn’t believe it.

Someone needs to finally out him. He’ll lose the next primary.

Gloves. Off.

> “It’s nice that he realizes this, but he helped get Graham reelected in 2020.”

Which was more important? Retaining the Senate or undermining Ms. Lindsey?

I hope you don’t mean General McMaster. Don’t know what happened to that deep turd General. Don’t even know if he’s from SC.

Graham is a weather vane. He turns whichever way the political winds are blowing.

That’s what family says in SC. He’s not well-respected in SC it seems.

And President Trump was being nice.

Trump has his reasons for continuing to talk to Lindsey Graham.

Nobody "knows" Lindsey is gay. He's never "come out" and he has not been "outed" AFAIK. However, to anyone with functioning gaydar, he certainly fits the profile considering that he is unmarried and effeminate in his speech and mannerisms.

One of Trump’s greatest moments was when he gave out Linda’s cell phone number on live TV. One of the best laughs I’ve had in years.

Yes, that was great! “He’s your representative. Give him a call!”

Epic!

And if you recall, that was right after Trump said something disparaging about his buddy McCain. And the people were having none of Graham’s protect and defend McCain crap.

Yet Trump takes meetings with Miss Lindsey, and plays golf with him. Who knows what’s going on?

There’s not much “Liberal” or “Progressive” about Linda. We really need to stop using badge-of-honor terms to describe POS.
