Lindsey Graham Is Now Urging Other Republicans to Un-Endorse Trump

On May 23rd, we here at Mediaite ran this headline:

Lindsey Graham Caves, Quietly Tells Fellow Republicans to Get Behind Trump

14 days later, Graham has not only done a complete 180, but he is telling other Republicans to un-endorse Donald Trump.

Yes, just so we’re clear, Graham went from “hell no” on Trump to “eh maybe” on Trump to “okay let’s do this” on Trump to “ABANDON THIS SINKING SHIP WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND DONORS FIRST.”

Graham spoke to The New York Times and made it clear he’s telling Republicans to get out while they still can:

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, another former primary rival of Mr. Trump’s, urged Republicans who have backed Mr. Trump to rescind their endorsements, citing the remarks about Judge Curiel and Mr. Trump’s expression of doubt on Sunday that a Muslim judge could remain neutral in the same lawsuit, given Mr. Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country.

“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy,” Mr. Graham said. “If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” he added. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”

The SLIGHTEST controversy makes these republican "leaders" shrink away.

No wonder Obama has had to only say "Boo" and they fold like a cheap suit.

I have suggested it before, and the chances are slim and none. Apparently their is no recall device in the State of NC but IMHO a petition needs to be started in that State for recall even if their is no legal means to do so as a form of shaming and denotation of "no confidence" in Lindsey.

Perhaps he will retire early and do us a favor and move to AZ to hang with his best bud, who IMHO is gonna loose to his primary challenger.

Trump supporters are lying bloodied and bruised in the street but a caucasian judge who calls himself ‘Hispanic’ in IN is the big story.

Pointing out that a judge who is a member of a racist organization might be biased because of that membership is not, in itself, racist.

One has to wonder how many establishment Republicans will remain once Trump has cleaned house.

Graham, and the media, just do t get it.

Getting the endorsements of a bunch of RINO’s is not going to make the difference.

To paraphrase an old political slogan: “it’s the People, stupid”. The people are going to elect trump, not members of Congress. In fact, it’s because of the gutless, inept, performance of Congress that Trump is so popular.

So, RINO, withdraw your endorsement, it will only cost Trump one vote....yours.

Character and backbone are becoming harder and harder to find - not only in politics, but in every field.

Mission accomplished.

Ok Lindsey - and since you are not providing any alternatives, we can assume you would prefer we vote for the lying bitch, who according to the (democrat) state dept IG, built an illegal email server, kept confidential national secrets on it illegally, and then lied about it for a year. And oh yes her husband is a rapist.

So are you are you recommending we vote for that, Lindsey? Hmm?

Way too late in the game.

You’re either all in or you shut up. Party treason.

Is Lindsey Graham that dumb? He should be acknowledging that we no longer have an Independent Judiciary.

Graham should be offering actions to correct such a problem. He should be citing examples and the damage done by the lack of an Independent Judiciary!

Graham could be looking at the evidence and circumstances that explain Trump's concerns. So far Donald Trump has been justified and correct in his statements and tweets! The GOPe is looking more and more like Democrats.

“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy,”

Flimsey thinks it's the most un-American thing to expose Communist infiltrators in positions of power.

Fool and quisling.
