Graham blasts media over coverage of ‘barbaric’ New Orleans attack
The Hill ^ | 01/02/2024 | Ashleigh Fields

Posted on 01/02/2025 11:34:53 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) ripped the media coverage of the attack on New Year’s Eve revelers in New Orleans early Wednesday morning, arguing the alleged crime should be treated as an act of war.

“As I watch coverage of this barbaric, cowardly attack that was ISIS-inspired, it is disturbing how far America has drifted from the fact that we are in a state of war with radical Islamic forces,” Graham wrote in a Thursday post on the social platform X.

The man who drove into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street was identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar. Police found an ISIS flag in the vehicle at the time of the attack, and the FBI said he was “100 percent” motivated by the terrorist group in a Thursday morning briefing.

“The coverage suggests we’re fighting a crime and that ISIS-inspired attacks are mere criminal events, not part of the larger war on terrorism,” Graham said.

Considering how he pals around with ISIS terrorists, maybe he should sit this one out.

Bigger than that, Graham. We are in an existential and asymmetric war with Islam and it wants to annihilate us using jihad. For over 20 years, we just pretend it is “terrorism” we are fighting.

Does anyone else notice that Lady Lindsay Graham doesn’t talk about limiting islamofascist immigration into the US? He never will because he makes fat stacks of money from the increased security architecture in United States to deal with these koranimals and the Forever War overseas.

Then let's start by closing the borders and shipping the illegals out of our country.

War monger. Wants to ramp up our presence in the middle east. Would that we had leaders like the IDF, who don’t have a problem going after terrorists in their own back yard.

Says the man that thinks Biden is a great man, and so is Zelenskyy. Not that he is wrong,, but rather that he sees what he wants while ignoring that which he doesn’t want to acknowledge.

America is in a state of war with radical Islamic forces.

The Democrat Party is allied with them.

They hate the US more than they hate Israel.

The war is on.

Islam in America is a problem but it’s a distraction. The real problem is the occupation style government in Washington D.C. that is destroying our country in every conceivable way.

So who should we invade now because of this, Lindsey? He never changes.

"They hate the US more than they hate Israel."

The real problem is they hate western civilization more than they love their children and women.

Islam in America is a problem but it’s a distraction. The real problem is the occupation style government in Washington D.C. We are being destroyed from within. Linsey and his ilk are a much bigger problem. Besides, people like him are the reason Islam has been allowed to come to America’s shores in the first place.
