Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defended former president Donald Trump calling Vice President Kamala Harris “mentally disabled” by arguing her policies are “batsh*t crazy.”
In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Jake Tapper played comments from Trump at a rally Saturday in which he attacked the vice president’s cognitive function.
“Kamala is mentally impaired….Joe Biden became mentally impaired, Kamala was born that way…If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country.”
“First of all, there are actual people out there with mental impairments, and that’s insulting to them,” Tapper said — coming out of the clip. “Second of all, Vice President Kamala Harris is not mentally impaired.”
“No,” Graham replied. “I just think she’s crazy liberal.”
“But what do you think about that rhetoric?” Tapper said, pressing.
“I just think the better course to take is to prosecute the case that her policies are destroying the country,” Graham said. “They’re crazy liberal.”
After listing various critiques of the vice president’s record and policy positions, Graham added, “I’m not saying she’s crazy. I’m saying your party, your policies are batshit crazy.”
“They’re not my policies,” Tapper replied.

Lindsey says some accurate things. He's not really like the typical establishment Republican. Also saying "your party" to Tapper was an excellent tactic. Attack whatever remains of the pretense that the media is non-political.

Oh Jake, you lying sack-of-sh*t.

First of all, there are actual people out there with mental impairments, and that’s insulting to themI kinda have to agree with Tapper here.
If I was so impaired, I’d be insulted if someone compared me to Harris.

Linda says whatever makes him viable. He famously fist-bumped Mrs. Doug Emhoff after Biden got elected.

He's voted with the RATS on some of those policies the past 3+ years. According to this site, during the 117th Congress (2020-2021), Graham voted in line with Biden’s position 57.6% of the time. He tries to play both sides, and stays in the middle as often as possible.
Does Your Member Of Congress Vote With Or Against Biden?

2nd thing I thought of, besides the Dems will flip out, is the dog-whistle use of the word “impaired.” Drugs and/or alcohol can cause someone to become “impaired.”

True. But at least he’s in Trump’s corner in this battle. Which is more than you can say for most of the establishment types.

"But at least he’s in Trump’s corner in this battle."
He was in President Trump's corner in 2016 too. Please don't kid yourself. Graham is only in Trump's corner again in order to help himself, not President Trump. He changes sides to benefit himself. He voted to accept Biden's illegal electors on January 6th, and fist-bumped Harris on the Senate Floor after the vote. He's only loyal to himself.

Notice how Tapper does not condemn the Democrats for their inaccurate and incendiary rhetoric, such as when they compare Trump to Hitler.
To: lasereye
The things Trump say looks worse in print then if you actually see the video of the rally. After watching it, you say to yourself, yeah he’s right
