Graham calls Republicans Celebrating Russian interference a 'political hack' - 'you're not a patriot
Breitbart ^ | 1/9/2016 | Pam Key

(Watch video at link)

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said any Republican celebrating Russia’s hacking into the 2016 presidential election were “making a huge mistake” and described them as a “political hack.”

Graham said, “To my Republican friends who are gleeful, you’re making a huge mistake. When when Wikileaks released information during the Bush years about the Iraq War that was embarrassing to the administration, that put our troops at risk most Democrats condemned it, some celebrated it. Most Republicans are condemning what Russia did and to those who are gleeful it you’re a political hack. You’re not a Republican and you’re not a patriot.”

He added, “When one party is compromised all of us are compromised. And here’s what I’m going to do with Senator McCain, we will introduce sanctions that are bipartisan that go beyond the sanctions today against Russia that will hit them in the financial sector and the energy sector where they’re the weakest. And we’re going to give President Trump an opportunity to make Russia pay a price for interfering in our elections so it will deter others in the future. I hope you will take advantage of it.”

Who votes for this guy!?

Instead of hitting the straight ticket button, I go down through the ballot and mark all the candidates individually. And I make sure to leave Lindsee UN-checked. Not that he ever has D opposition.

I have not voted for him once in this century.

Graham, mccain, snowe, three reasons the dimrats could succeed in blocking everything we elected President Trump to do.

leaving all politics aside, several politicians are making statements that HAVE NO CONNECTION TO REALITY ...
such as Lindsay, McCain, Obama, Pelosi, Reid...

I mean, really REALLY divorced from the real world...
(nuts, in regular American language)

isn’t there still a mental asylum open somewhere that these lunatics (of both D and R parties) can be put .... who knows, maybe modern medicine has some miracle treatment that might help them get back in touch with the real world, or?

it seems the quote in the headline was NOT about celebrating a Trump victory, but about “Russian hacking”

Big Media lies ... all the time ... about everything.

People (on this forum in particular) need to get that fact through their thick heads.

South Carolina has an open primary system. Anyone can vote in it. Dems know they can never elect a dem senator in SC so they cross over in droves to vote for this buffoon because they know he is the least conservative.

If SC ever closes their primary elections to registered republicans Graham would announce his retirement. I guarantee that!

Ms. Graham only wins because Democrats cross-over to vote for him in the primaries.

Well, THAT’S a first, a gay man who’s trying to talk his friends out of being ‘gleeful’.

I learned a long time ago that no email is really secure. Once you hit send, you lose control. So I treat all emails accordingly, even encrypted ones. The DNC should also know that. Makes you wonder why the send evidence of corruption via email, considering how smart they are /s/. Of course, fit they were not so corrupt, it would not have been a problem for them.

And this may just be me, but.........., while I don't like anyone hacking our govt., OPM, SSN, VA,... to steal data. I do make an exception for stealing evidence of corruption. I the infamous words of Jim Carey in Liar, Lair, “Stop breaking the law @sshole”.

My assumption is that most of the anti-Russian vitriol in the US government and media springs from the following. Lindsey's comments only confirm it.

Russian gay propaganda law - Wikipedia

If Hillary goes down, she can and will take the two weasels with them. And that would be the first good thing she’s done since she was living in Arkansas.

Remember early on in the primaries, when there was an event and everyone was piling on Trump so they could take some credit for his defeat, Senator Linda called Trump a “jackass”? He really thought he has waving Trump’s scalp.

Now he wants to use the courage of many others to delude people into thinking he has balls himself.

The SAME U.S. intelligence agencies we see today jumping to
step & fetch OBAMA’S pee pot is the same as it was back
during the Iraq war that detected WMD’s in Iraq’s arsenal.
Even the fake “Republican” Colin Powell bought into it.

G.W. Bush was damned if he did & damned if he didn’t on
Iraq. - Even Hitler-y herself was convinced.
