During a time when the Republican Partys presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, should be working to bring the party together and prepare for the primary battle against Hillary Clinton, he continues to deepen the divide between Republicans and Americans alike.
Trumps recent attack on U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel because of his Mexican-American background prompted Sen. Lindsey Graham to round up the Republicans who have previously endorsed Donald Trump, and persuade them to take it all back.
Graham claimed that Trumps racist remarks were the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy.
If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it, Graham told The New York Times.
Senator Graham elaborated on this during an interview with NBC News Hallie Jackson.
There are a lot of people who want to be loyal to the Republican Party, including me, he said. But therell come a point in time where were gonna have to understand that its not just about the 2016 race, its about the future of the party and I would like to support our nominee. I just cant.
Donald Trump claimed that Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over the Trump University case, has been biased toward him because of his Latino heritage.
I couldnt disagree more with a statement like that, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday.
Those kinds of comments are very serious to me, Rep. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said to News radio WGAN. They are completely unacceptable, and what they indicate which is why I think this is so serious is a lack of respect for our judicial system and for the separation of powers doctrine that is enshrined in the Constitution.
Although many Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, have condemned Trumps accusations, they continue to support him.
If ever there were a time that Senators and Representatives could be recalled, this is it. Where is the voice of South Carolina voters reminding him that he works for the people, not the other way around?
There was a story once that old Harry Truman was considering a candidate for a cabinet position, until he found out the was a divorced Catholic. Harry, in his typical blunt way, said: “No, I don’t want a man around me who can’t keep his vows”. For all those one-time candidates who swore to uphold the candidate of their party, if you can’t keep your vows, we have no use for you.
Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me.
This would change nothing as linda is already a Democrat.
AND just for the record... did you see every single Democrat positively GA GA about “O” in HIS campaigns?
NO ... you did not...but he's in the F’n WH ... right? (T W I C E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Joe McCarthy was right too.
Go ahead, little sista. I double dare ya!
Go to h*ll
The republicans not backing Joe McCarthy because he didn’t appear to use civil discourse is the kind of crap the Republicans are doing today.
RINOS need to GO
Isn’t there like some rehab clinic in Austin where RINOs go to be converted completely over to full-up Democratic? I thought it was like a two-week cleansing process....just red wine, lot of dairy products, and nightly dancing lessons.
Take McCain with ya!
Awesome.
What did I say? What did I say?
You ever have a meaningful conversation with a tree stump?
linda doesn't care. I've written her letters about specific items and she always responds with a form letter saying how much it is "a privilege and honor to represent the people of South Carolina in the Congress" or some such bull.
linda is way past being a disappointment.
Well, Linda, don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.
Correction: "Well, Linda, dont let the door hit you where YOUR BOYFRIEND split you."
Please do. You’re that already.
That would make the IQ’s of both Parties go up.
