Lindsey Graham went on Fox News on Friday to warm viewers that “it’s just a matter of time” before a dangerous terrorist wanders across the southern border and into the United States and kills bunch of Americans.
Speaking to Harris Faulkner, the anti-LGBTQ+ senator from South Carolina said Border Patrol agents are experiencing “low morale” with Title 42 set set to expire later this month.
Title 42 is a Trump-era policy that saw hundreds of thousands of migrants trying to enter the country at the U.S.-Mexico border turned away by Border Patrol in an effort to curb the spread of contagious disease.
The Biden administration initially tried to end the policy back in May, but a lawsuit filed by 21 Republican-led states and overseen by a Trump-appointed judge in Louisiana slowed things down. It’s now scheduled to expire on December 21.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“It’s just a matter of time until somebody comes across that border and kills a bunch of Americans because they’re a terrorist,” Graham warned Faulkner, adding that Border Patrol agents feel “abandoned” by President Biden.
“They’re seeing human trafficking at a level I’ve never seen,” he continued, without providing any evidence to support his claims. “They’re overwhelmed with illegal immigrants coming in. People on the terrorist watch list are going right through!”
For the record, the last part isn’t true. People on the terrorist watch list are not being knowingly waved through the security line at the U.S.-Mexico border by depressed Border Patrol agents.
Graham, who recently testified before a grand jury investigating Donald Trump‘s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, continued, “So, to be a Border Patrol agent under Biden is one of the most miserable experiences I can imagine. To be in charge of protecting America, and the administration you work for will not give you the tools to do your job is very bad for morale.”
But the fear-mongering, gay-hating senator didn’t stop there. In fact, he was only just beginning.
“You’re going to see an increased number of illegal drugs coming in, particularly fentanyl, that will kill more and more Americans,” he warned. “You’re going to see pressure on border communities where the community collapses under the weight!”

“It’s just a matter of time before terrorists that are rising in Afghanistan and Syria will make their way through the border to attack us! Their desire to attack us hasn’t stopped!”
“Biden has surrendered the border!”
Graham went on to say that Title 42 expiring will throw “gasoline on the fire” of this imagined border crisis.
“The Biden administration took all the border security measures of the Trump administration and changed them overnight,” he said, urging House Republicans to hold hearings once the new Congress takes over in January and “put on the table impeaching people responsible for this.”
Watch. Or don’t.

I hope Queerty will cover the SCOTUS case being discussed now, which involves a Colorado web designer who wants to be able to turn down business from LGBTQ people and not design LGBTQ-related or friendly websites. She is using her religious beliefs as the reason behind her anti-LGBTQ stance, but the case is more complex because it turns on whether someone can be “compelled” to speak something vs. laws that prevent discrimination against entire classes and groups of people. It’s not as easy or funny to write about as the latest GQP shenanigans, even ones involving Lady G, but I hope someone at Queerty will feature this, because SCOTUS could rule in favor of the designer, thus adding yet another possible means for anti-LGBTQ (and racist, misogynistic, etc.) discrimination.
LumpyPillows
I agree. They won’t write it because their writers are tragically shallow and untalented, but they could copy it from elsewhere. We are at risk still.

Since filing a lawsuit to protect my First Amendment rights [in 2016], I have been bombarded with many messages about my case.

I cannot possibly respond to every person who has reached out, but I nevertheless feel compelled to say a few things…

I really don’t care if anyone doesn’t want to do business with the LGBTQ community, I wouldn’t want to give someone like this my money anyways. What they don’t have a right to do is humiliate us publicly, so they should be forced to have signage declaring it. They we can watch as their businesses slowly die from their bigotry.

Back to the topic at hand, Miss Lady G clearly missed or is ignoring the fact that the US is full of domestic terrorists; that the worst terror attack on the US’s mainland in our history occurred during his buddy George W. Bush’s presidency and the terrorists all arrived on airplanes; that the only terror attack on the US Congress and our electoral system, and the only coup attempt in US history occurred under Lady G’s buddy Don the Con; and that we continue to witness terror attacks, including at Club Q, in the US, that do not involve “foreign” migrants or refugees crossing the border. What is it that Miss Lady G wants? The US military at the border? More failed walls? Mass expulsions and deportations? What? Spit it out, girl!
abfab
the proud boys walking around with machine guns…..and she’s worried about Mexicans?

Abfab, exactly! But she’s in a high dudgeon over those scary brown people! Someone ought to ask Miss Lady G if she has an answer for all the crap the US government over the last 50 years has done to the countries–Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Guatemala, Haiti, etc.–supplying most of the current migrants. Let’s see if something other than a pocket book falls out of her mouth!

Whenever a Republican brings up “crime,” “inflation,” “immigration,” or “deficit spending” I just point and laugh b/c whenever they get in power they do absolutely nothing about any of these supposed “issues.” Just look at how quickly after the midterms their narrative changed from any one of these afore mentioned “issues” to now endless investigations into the nothing burger about Hunter Biden.
Btw, you can go to the border now and I promise you won’t see 1/1000th of the amount of migration these morons call an “invasion.”

I don’t think we need worry too much about boarder crossing killers. This past year has shown their are plenty of American nuts already residing here to do all the killing they want with automatic rifles available over the counter for cheap.

How would ANYONE know that “they are letting known terrorists on the terrorist list cross the border from Mexico”? I mean are they taking a poll after you enter the US asking “Are YOU a known terrorist on the terrorist list”? Check Box [A] if YES, Check Box [B] if NO.

Last time hiking in Joshua Tree and hanging out in Palm Springs for a while, we all drove down to the scary border and there was no one crossing it. There was NO ONE. One thing that really hit me was how much of that part of CA looks just like Mexico is so many ways. ”THE INLAND EMPIRE”.
I love Mexico and I love Mexicans. Go to Guadalahara and tell me that culture is not as advanced (or more )than ours. It makes me sick.
Den
Yup, Mexico is an amazing place. Antiquities to rival any place in Europe, vibrant cities, rich culture and arts, great cuisine, friendly people…
But to the right they’re just little brown criminals coming to work low paying jobs: dealing drugs and raping white women
in their “spare time”.
It is rather sad that the government down there cannot stop the cartels, as the Mexicans suffer. But cartel people who come are not crossing the border on foot with the mass of central and south Americans. They come through the airports, in cars and trucks, and via boat.
DCguy
Funny how Republicans keep screaming that some day, some person might come across the boarder and kill some people, because they don’t care at all that our school children are being mowed down repeatedly by Americans with easy access to guns.
Republicans don’t care at all about Americans being killed.
Stefano
There is no link between immigrants and killings, and Republicans know it very well. 96% of those committing these crimes are men, 70% of whom are white (so they are not overrepresented in the population). There is no link between mental disorders and serial killers (only 22% have mental health problems). Surprisingly, only 3% of the population owns half of all firearms in the United States…Numerous publications have also shown that moral and emotional attachment to firearms is stronger among men (65%) and whites (78%). Other factors were more significant: 70% of the killers were described as loners, 61% suffered from substance abuse and 43% had been bullied or harassed.
Stefano
Instead of focusing attention and policy efforts on psychiatric disorders, it would be more effective to focus on behavioral indicators. There are three key factors to consider: being a victim of violence at a young age, drug abuse and exposure to violence in the environment. Not to mention personal history: If someone has a history of violent or aggressive behavior, it is a better indicator of future violence than a psychiatric diagnosis.
