Lindsey Graham vows to 'undo' 'absurd' bipartisan debt deal, calls it 'disaster for defense'
Fox news ^ | 05/29/2023 | Brandon Gillespie

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., vowed Monday he would do everything within his power to "undo" the bipartisan debt ceiling bill and the "disaster" he said it would be for America's defense.

"I will use all powers available to me in the Senate to have amendment votes to undo this catastrophe for defense," Graham wrote on Twitter. "I support raising the debt limit for 90 days to give us a chance to correct this disaster for defense."

"Have total disgust for political leaders’ decision to make it remotely possible to gut our national security apparatus at a time of great peril. Take this absurd idea off the table," he added.

He’s acting - and he’s lying.

This is the guy that lobbied for all of Biden’s Multi-Trillion Porkulus Plus and crazy “Infrastructure” behemoth Bills - and then called a meeting in SC - Press Conference - to say he was going to change the Constitution to mandate a Balanced Budget - to save the Country from a Overspending.

You read that right, and Linda added some much to Covid Bills - with No Strings attached- that many HIstorically Black schools paid off the Student Debt of their Prior Students. And much of those student loans went to housing and crazy Activist majors that anyone with half a brain knew wouldn’t lead to a Job.

Linda Graham is Compromised and ran by Alphabet Agencies - and they understand - you only have to fool some of the people some of the time. Now, Linda can and will claim to be anti-spending, claim to be a fiscal hawk, claim to be a compassionate Domestic Spender - and claim to be a Patriot based on the audience he has to fool.

He’s voted for every single piece of Spending Legislation Biden has recommended- but one bill where zero Republican Votes were needed to pass the Legislation.

He holding himself up as something he’s not, once again, and there is never one hard question put to him.

Cut the defense budget by 20%. The War on Terror, Afghanistan, Iraq and a bunch of other places drove the defense budget through the roof. Let’s go back to an inflation adjusted figure, circa 2000. The same should be done with non-defense spending. Go back to pre-COVID levels.

The war-monger is worried about his pals in the defense industry.

There’s not enough death for this goon to feast upon out there.

“This makes the deal look like a good thing.”

Agreed. If Linda is against this deal, then “Go, Kevin!”

Yep, If Lindsey is against it, it must be good. I cringe at the fact I used to support the guy. Then I realized nobody talks so much and does so little on the Republican side. He is a PW guy, Perpetual War......... The US can’t have too many guns, bullets and bombs to give away.

That is a possibility, given his past saboteur-like actions.

Look at the some of the headlines from articles -like Linda wanting to mandate a Balanced Budget by Law - in this thread.

Ignore his words, as always.

Did you believe him when he said he was going to Investigate, hold hearings, and people were going to go to Prison for the FBi Russian Coup?

I wish Trump attacked McCarthy and Graham as often as he goes after Gov. DeSantis.
