Bemoan the plight of Lindsey Graham.
The South Carolina senator threw away his respectability so he could devote his political life to Donald Trump. and all he received in return was subpoenas and widespread scorn.
On Tuesday, Graham appeared on Fox News to defend his interference in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election. And beg for cash, of course.
“I did my job, and if I have to do it over again, I will. For the last year, I’ve been inundated with this,” he whined to Sean Hannity.
“I’ve spent almost $1.5 million from my campaign funds to deal with this, whether I’m getting myself reelected or helping other Republicans. Donald Trump has spent $40 million in three different jurisdictions. And if you want to help me pay my bill, LindseyGraham.com.”
$1.5 million from his campaign fund?! Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani, both of whom are broke and unsuccessfully pleading with Trump for cash, are breaking out their small violins.
But yeah: poor Lindsey! He also claimed in the Hannity interview that he did nothing wrong in Georgia. Instead, he was conducting his due diligence before certifying the election results.
“I had to vote, as a United States senator, whether to certify the election. So what did I do? I called people all over the country, including the secretary of state of Georgia. I called him from my Senate office with my staff on the phone to ask questions about mail-in voting,” he said.
Georgia’s Secretary of State, Republican Brad Raffensperger, has a different recollection of Graham’s conduct. He says the anti-gay pol asked him about throwing out legal votes.
Lindsey should resign.

The irony is, Graham should consider himself lucky. Despite the special grand jury recommending charges for the shameless anti-LGBTQ+ senator, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis spared Graham from indictment (she indicted 18 of Trump’s co-conspirators in total).
Not bad for a guy who was forced by the Supreme Court to cooperate in the inquiry.
When news of Trump’s indictment came down last month, Graham covered for the disgraced ex-president.
It was a characteristically embarrassing summer for Graham, who melted down in a memorable Fox News spot and told everybody he loves it when Trump “beats him like a drum.”
Girl, we already knew…
I would love to understand what made him like this.

But here’s the saddest thing of all about Graham’s devotion to the MAGAverse: it’s one way. Earlier this summer, he was booed off the stage at a Trump rally in his home state.
And now, he could be facing a primary challenger. Hardcore right-wing rep. Ralph Nordham, a high-profile member of the Freedom Caucus, said Wednesday he’s considering running against the four-term incumbent.
Graham’s apparent crimes against conservatism include voting for a government funding bill and supporting Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
While the primary isn’t until 2026, Graham now has more potential issues to fret over. That’s why he needs your money!
Please!
Help out the poor grifter if you can.

Golly Gee, Lindsey if you are so concerned about the 2020 election, why didn’t you contact all 50 states & territories. What about the down ballot races? Let’s not forget in 2020, you repeatedly criticized your Dem. opponent for allegedly being funded/influenced by elected officials from other states. Then you fund GA. officials w/$500,000. When will you quit sleazing around in the name of the past POTUS & start working for the all of the residents of SC; you know, the job you’re being paid to do.

No, I will not “bemoan the plight” of Lyndsey Graham. I am interested in knowing why in the world he wasn’t indicted in the Georgia case.
People who are still sending money to Graham are beyond hope, it seems that like the poor they will always be with us.
The propect of Graham being primaried looms large, especially as South Carolina’s demograhics have changed/are changing (more religious fanatics/more retirees, for example) but does it make a difference? There are only one hundred senators in a country of nearly 400 million, and yet these hundred are so cowed that they vote in lockstep along party lines — they’ve gridlocked the U.S. government for some thirty years. I don’t think it makes a difference if a next senator from South Carolina is to the right of Graham, and on the bright side, that person will have less seniority.
Even if he loses his next senate bid, Graham will still be surrounded by his entourage of handsome young(er) men.

He wasn’t included in Trump’s indictment because the Fulton County DA thought it would slow down the trial. But he’ll get his turn

Oh Lindsay, if you’re broke you can always go sell signed senate poppers at the baths.

I have no clue as to how he managed to win his last election. The democrats better put some real effort into taking him out…assuming he makes it to the next election. Doesn’t he have 4 more years in his term though? 🙁

He won because he received most of the White vote in South Carolina. He ran against a Black Democrat, a younger, smart, liberal guy named Jaime Harrison, who raised millions, but basically only received support from Black voters and other BIPOC voters. That’s how Lady G won.

““I’ve spent almost $1.5 million from my campaign funds to deal with this, whether I’m getting myself reelected or helping other Republicans. Donald Trump has spent $40 million in three different jurisdictions. And if you want to help me pay my bill, LindseyGraham.com.”
Um…. isn’t using CAMPAIGN FUNDS to cover something other than CAMPAIGNING kinda illegal?

One by one, every one of these scum bags who help Trump find themselves going down. It has been this way for years and has never been any other way. Every one of them end up getting screwed with no thanks from Trump…without exception. What goes around comes around.

Lady G knows she’s promenading on very thin ice with the right-wing MAGA majority in her home state, since she’s dared to criticize their psychotic cult leader, Don the Con, which is why she’s now burrowing deeper and deeper up Don the Con’s @ss.
Think about it: Lady G is a trained lawyer, not some Constitutionally-ignorant hayseed like Tommy Tuberville, so far her her to ask a public official from another state to throw out votes is particularly insane. She knows better.
But she clearly will do whatever it takes to stay on the MAGA cult’s good side, though she’s in a bit of trouble with them now.
