‘Hope they all get prosecuted,’ SC’s Lindsey Graham says 6 months after Capitol riot
The State ^ | 7/6/2021 | MAAYAN SCHECHTER

Six months after a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on the day Congress certified the November election results, South Carolina’s U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters he hopes all the offenders are prosecuted.

“I was there. It was shameful, it was despicable, and the people who did it need to go to jail,” the Seneca Republican told reporters Tuesday ahead of a meeting of the Easley Rotary Club.

“The people who breached the Capitol committed a crime. They defiled their Capitol. That was not a peaceful protest, and I hope they all get prosecuted,” Graham told reporters Tuesday. “This is not democracy. That was anarchy. I think it’s important to understand the difference between peaceful protest and a riot.”

That’s a shame. I don’t watch FOX anymore so I would know, pretty disappointed in him but he’s probably just counting the days until he can retire.

He’s just a miserable human obviously dealing with some internal conflicts that some in our society have. But then again, he also wished that Capitol Police should have used deadly force on more folks.

Scott reminds me a court jester who’s just there

Hard to believe that between Graham, Scott, Mace and Rice that the Palmetto State can’t do any better.

And yet the state GOP will do everything possible to make sure no one runs against any of them.

Shameful.

At least a few bus loads of folks from the Myrtle Beach area were there and there’s Graham wishing CPD used lethal force against them.

That’s done purposely. So the voter has no choice. State GOP rigs the game.

” ‘defile a capitol’...”! What they did you cross dressing fag is enter your clubhouse uninvited, they did NOT belong in your clubhouse. The federal government is his “clubhouse”! He “belongs” in the “clubhouse” so long as he obeys what the “clubhouse” dictates. The “clubhouse” has NOTHING to do with “elections”, “votes”... IT IS A LESSON IN CORRUPTION FOR ALL OF HUMANITY TO SEE. Of course... the clubhouse doesn’t care about the lesson, they are robbers in the midst of a robbery and rapists in the midst of a rape. POWER. It attracts the worst people, NOT the best.

To: Tell It Right

he is a “narcisist”! He only cares about his (or should I say “her”) self? EVERYTHING is about his/her self-interest -vs- our self interest. This scumbag is dressing in drag in secret and pretending to be a champion of your liberty so long as he can keep up the lie. You think that this is too sick a notion? What do you call bruce jenner?

I agree. They setup lindsay against an unsavory candidate. The GOP is as corrupt as the dems. The people are left with a choice between fresh and dried dog doo doo to eat.

Perfect analogy.

Donald J Trump changed all that. He needed them for NOTHING.

And they absolutely HATE him for it.

And sadly, we all just might be forced to do it all over again. I know in Georgia, Kemp and the rest are on very thin ice. None of them are getting my vote, I do not care. That whole crew in Atlanta has sold out the state,and not just the election, for the last time, for me.

Is he saying all the BLM rioters who burned cities and stores and police cars should be prosecuted?
