Lindsey Graham just threatened Mitch McConnell over Donald Trump
CNN ^ | JAN 13, 2022

Posted on 01/13/2022 9:16:27 AM PST by conservative98

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham sent GOP Leader Mitch McConnell a very clear message Wednesday night: Get on board with Donald Trump or get out.

Asked by Fox's Sean Hannity about the "swampiness" of the Kentucky senator, Graham answered this way:

"Elections are about the future. If you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship with Donald Trump. Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? He is the most consequential Republican since Ronald Reagan. It's his nomination if he wants it. ... Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? ...

"I am not going to vote for anybody for leader of the Senate as a Republican unless they can prove to me that they can advocate an 'America First' agenda and have a working relationship with Donald Trump because if you can't do that you will fail."

Is it because there’s no other viable candidate?

Or the RNC, Kentucky GOP and big money donors won’t allow anyone else to run.

As for Graham….let’s see

Did idiot Hannity ask him why continues to vote for all CornPops judges?

Did idiot Hannity ask him how his ‘post Russia collusion impeachment’ investigation went? The one where he was gonna bring everyone before the Senate, start dropping subpoenas everywhere and question everyone under oath.

Did idiot Hannitybask him why he wishes the Capitol Police would have shot more people last January?

McConnell turns 80 next month and is not in great health. Trump wins and then McConnell retires.

My takeaway is Linda wants Mitch’s job.

This is his opening salvo.

And, no, I have no idea why Trump capitalizes "Crow."

Pretty sure Trump is saying he's a cheap alcoholic. How tough is that to figure out?

Lindsey Graham loves to backstab. He must be removed along with every Never Trumper in the GOP. ASAP.

"He’s not very popular here in Kentucky, but it seems neither party can produce a candidate who would make a better senator, so we hold our noses and vote for McConnell every six years."

And that's the main reason why the Republican Party/GOP, will never be reformed.
