The visibly upset anti-LGBTQ+ senator went on Fox News mere hours after the news of the indictment broke to make an impassioned plea for viewers to please, for the love of all things holy, give Trump their money to help save him from the “political persecution” and “legal voodoo” he’s currently being subjected to.
“They’re trying to drain him dry,” he told Sean Hannity. “He’s spent more money on lawyers than most people spent on campaigns!”
“Go tonight. Give the president some money to fight this bullsh*t!” Graham begged. “To those who are listening tonight: If you believe Trump is being treated poorly and wrongly, stand up and help the man!”
At one point during Graham’s appearance, which was conducted before a live audience, a heckler in the room screamed out: “This is a wonderful day! You lie by omission and you lie!” The studio sound was quickly cut and Graham continued his teary-eyed defense of Trump.
Though the indictment still remains under seal, a grand jury in New York has been investigating the $130,000 hush money payment Trump allegedly made to Stormy Daniels back in 2016. The ex-president is expected to be arraigned in court on Tuesday, where he is anticipated to enter a not guilty plea.
While Graham struggled to fight back tears on live TV yesterday, here’s how others have been responding to the news…

Remember trump taking out a full page ad in 1989 against the innocent Central Park 5 and called for the death penalty against them and his refusal to apologize after their exoneration?
Dr. Yusef Salaam, a member of the Park 5, issued a statement about the indictment: “KARMA.” ??
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
For somebody who is supposedly such a wealthy businessman and excellent dealmaker, he and his cronies really seem to like asking other people for money. Curious, isn’t it?
It still amazes me that so many of the GOP remain totally oblivious and in complete denial that Trump has ever committed a crime or has ever done anything wrong.

Graham talks about chopping up a pile of crap 34-times.
Lindsey is so scatalogical; sounds like an expert on such matters.

Miss Cracker Graham is sounding a lot like a televangelist. Maybe thoughts and prayers aren’t working anymore, so send money?

Dear Lady Lindsey,
We’re just on appetizers. Wait til you taste the main course. And the desserts …? mmm mmm.

Lady G is so shooketh she soiled her petticoats!
Don the Con still despises you, gurl!

You’d think Trump was going to steal Ms. Lindsey’s dill-dors or something.
Lady G needs to worry about what Fonny Willis has for her own ass in Georgia and run from Trump.
