Graham: Nothing Would Happen If You 'Murdered' Cruz On The Senate Floor

Well thank goodness we have level headed people in that chamber like Lindsey Graham who don't use harsh or divisive rhetoric.

And if Lindsey Graham were murdered on the Senate Floor, people would do more than nothing - they would celebrate.

What an awful thing to say.

Cruz isn’t my guy in this race, but Graham ought to be censored by the Senate for making such a despicable remark against a fellow Senator.

Graham and his pal McCain are the lowest kind of snakes. In fact, reptiles are more trustworthy.

Real class there, Lindsay.

Were I Ted Cruz, I would wear that claim as a badge of honor. A bigger nest of vipers you’ll not find in the American political system.

If anyone still doesn't fathom how deeply conservatives are despised by the left, this demonstrates it pretty well.

It was at a Press Club bash. Does that context make a difference? Some interesting comments at the article.

Roll Call: Congressional Dinner to Feature Graham, Boxer

It's that time of year for politicians from both sides of the aisle to take a break and share a laugh. The 72nd Annual Congressional Dinner, the long-standing Capitol Hill tradition of a light-hearted evening, is on Feb. 25.

Amid partisan battles over filling the Supreme Court vacancy, bipartisanship will come alive at the Mandarin Oriental. Hosted by the Washington Press Club Foundation, the event will feature members of Congress, senators and of course, the press."...
