Graham says liberals are trying to ‘destroy’ Walker to keep people of color away from GOP
NY Post ^ | 11/11/2022 | Victor Nava

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) got emotional on Thursday while discussing what he called attempts to “destroy” Georgia senate candidate Herschel Walker.

“They’re trying to destroy Herschel to deter young men and women of color from being Republicans,” Graham argued during an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity.

Graham added that the Republican Heisman Trophy-winning former college football star is a “nightmare for liberals” and that the attacks Walker has faced on the campaign trail will dissuade minorities from joining the GOP because they will fear having their lives “ruined.”

Exactly right. Graham and the full GOP leadership cost the election.

DUMP THEM ALL.

“People of color” need to realize that it’s the RAT party that has always oppressed minorities. Even when that fat LBJ was deliberately buying their votes, the objective was always to perpetuate slavery. It’s worked so far.

Graham isn’t wrong but maybe he should keep his mouth shut. The Dems and outside groups spent over 800 million on abortion in the midterms. His moronic comments in September had the ads all ready to go for the last 6 weeks.

I was going to post the same thing, but not quite as friendly as you put it.

haven’t seen the whole context but I like what linda said. This is the kind of stuff the MSM and dems throw out there all the time. Let’s turn the table on the real racists.

It was as though his comments were intended to drive home what those democrat commercials were saying.

I’ve found this whole Lindsay thing with Herchel to be patronizing.

“Look we’ve got a black!”

It wasn’t just his abortion comment. But 10000% he should just STFU.

I am a minority here, but I think his actual proposal was very moderate. I would want something more restrictive (but not a total ban).

It was just that people at large might have been OK with what Lindsay said, but didn’t want Republicans to be in charge of coming up with the federal abortion law and he raised this possibility.

It’s hard to believe Lindsay is that evil, but yeah I’m suspicious of him.

The abortion bill thing was outright sabotage.

I know people who served in Afghan when he was there. They are unimpeachable and said he brought his “boyfriends” with him.

I think the establishment has tons on him and not sure who would care, but he doesn’t want it coming out.

You are absolutely correct, his proposal would have ended up codifying a form of Roe.

But Republicans had zero interest in a national abortion law, and I can’t believe he’s that dumb right before this election.

I think he did it on purpose to help what he views as “moderates” and to hurt MAGA candidates.

I am 65 years. I have been voting since 1980. Every federal election had abortion on the “ballot.” Are some voters (liberals and women) so narrow minded that they will destroy the founding U.S. principles?

Just shut up Lindsey. Yes Trump has said some curious things the past few days, but Miss Lindsey has done a LOT more damage to MAGA.

The D’s & Media throughout the race and continuing towards the runoff by bashing Hershel Walker and the way he speaks.

Please remind me, did Hillary, Barack and Michelle not go to predominately black audiences in the South and magically turn on their Black Southern Drawl accents and dropping the g’s with ing words and other exaggerations of the way they normally talk?

Yet now the Media and D’s say Walker isn’t qualified and can’t speak properly like a “real” Senator should.

Who are the real racists and bigots?

Could Georgia have found a candidate with fewer former girlfriends and children by different women and someone more polished? Probably but Walker it is and again the D’s and Left Leaning Media letting their masks slip yet again with how they really feel about blacks and especially blacks with an R next to their name.

Lindsey says this publicly while undermining Walker (and Trump and us) behind the scenes. LG is the biggest snake that ever slithered into Congress.
