Graham calls on McConnell to 'unequivocally' denounce second Trump impeachment effort
Fox News ^ | 47 mins ago | Angelica Stabile

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is fighting efforts to convict President Trump in the Senate after he was impeached for a second time by the House of Representatives, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., should do the same, Graham told Fox News’ "Hannity" Tuesday.

"What we need right now is Sen. McConnell to unequivocally say the second impeachment of Donald Trump after he leaves office is not only unconstitutional, it is bad for the country," said Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Stand up and fight back."

Graham praised McConnell for helping President Trump with "everything that he did" and referred to the majority leader as a legislative "street fighter."

The senator extended his call to all Republican members, emphasizing the alleged unconstitutionality of pursuing a conviction after Trump has left office.

"Our country needs to heal," he said. "A second impeachment of Donald Trump after he leaves office won’t heal the country, it will further divide the country.

"As to the Republican Party, if we throw in the towel, or are perceived to having thrown in the towel, and not fighting against this impeachment, the Republican Party, as Rand Paul said, will ‘crack up.’"

That’s what you get using Google software. Spelling error? What spelling error?

Nobody was even thinking of 2024 at the time. Donald will run again, I think. If he doesn’t, Don Jr. seems to have acquired a taste for public speaking. I don’t approve of dynasties, but in this case it may be necessary to have another Trump go into the WH, just to right a blatant wrong, should papa be in decline or simply fed up with political back-stabbers by 2024.

“Mitch and Miss Lindsey take turns being on top.”

I am about to gouge out my eyes to get rid of that image.

Congress is a bunch of butchers. The job of butchers is to carve up. When a butcher tells you he is going to heal you, RUN!!!!

The pick of Pennsylvania's top health official for a critical role during the raging COVID-19 pandemic continues Biden's pattern of selecting a historically diverse slate of leaders.

No; it's a cross-dressing man.

And I don't know how anyone can use a cell phone screen to do stuff on...any reply or comment has to wait until I get home to my laptop. I don't know how people can watch movies or play games on them either. But I'm old, so what do I know.

I'm a millennial and I don't do stuff on my phone either. I'm too focused on watching the zombies in front of me, staring at their phones, oblivious to oncoming traffic.

And yes I am a grammar snob, vain about spelling and punctuation. Way too vain to let a spell checker run. However, you can't always refine your message on the fly. Far as I'm concerned, all phone typing is first cousin to butt dialing.

“Our country needs to heal,” so says Senator Linda Graham.

Unless Linda thinks she is Doctor Frankenstein there is not be any healing of this country.

We all know Linda is just drooling at the thought of serving her new master.

The House has not even forwarded the articles yet.

And probably won’t.

The window is closed.

Graham’s gotten a pretty good enema here at home. So he’s temporarily conservative again. Probably for the rest of this week.

"Or Biden will promise to pardon Trump under certain conditions....."

I wouldn't put it past Graham to suck Biden's ass for a seat on the Supreme Court. I wouldn't put anything past that beyotch.

Just two sides of the same coin. Lip service at its best.

"And yes I am a grammar snob, vain about spelling and punctuation."

I'm a 73 year old female, and I remember my English classes very well, proper punctuation, spelling, and having to diagram sentences. I had an English teacher who wrote in my senior yearbook: "To a girl who can write well." After all these years I still remember that...but don't ask me what I had for supper last night. 😂
