It appears Lindsey Graham is still miffed over his breakup with Joe Biden.
Earlier today, the antigay senator from South Carolina blasted his former BFF in a tweet marking the one year anniversary of the deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, accusing him of “brazen politicization” of the domestic terrorist attack.

“What brazen politicization of January 6 by President Biden,” Graham tweeted in response to Biden’s speech marking the sad anniversary this morning. “I wonder if the Taliban who now rule Afghanistan with al-Qaeda elements present, contrary to President Biden’s beliefs, are allowing this speech to be carried?”
How about we take this to the next level?

What brazen politicization of January 6 by President Biden.
I wonder if the Taliban who now rule Afghanistan with al-Qaeda elements present, contrary to President Biden’s beliefs, are allowing this speech to be carried?

OK first, as many have pointed out, an attack on the U.S. Capitol by order of the President of the United States in an attempt to stop the certification of the election results is inherently political. But also, Biden didn’t have anything to do with it. Aside from, you know, winning the election. His hands are clean in all this.

Because that wasn’t stupid enough, Graham followed up his bitchy tweet accusing Biden of politicizing January 6 with several more attacks against him, including criticizing his “failed policies and weak leadership” and being “incapable of dealing with the challenges America faces.”

And he wonders why Biden stopped returning his calls?
In the end, Graham only succeed in making himself look like a complete fool by turning himself into a laughstock on Twitter.
Here’s what people are saying…
As Lindsey Graham whines about the "politicization" of Jan. 6, he should know that one cannot "politicize" that which is inherently political. https://t.co/yIPe5vW6yc

Lindsey Graham is politicizing January 6th by claiming others are politicizing it. Sad and pathetic. #January6th

So your party’s attempt to overthrow democracy was a non-partisan event? Once you were a Senator, grudgingly respected by your opponents. Now you are a Trump Whore. Flee the country.

I've been saying it for a long time, someone is blackmailing the shit out of Lindsey Graham.

Who agrees today is a GREAT day to arrest Lindsey Graham for trying to overturn the election in Georgia??

Trying to prevent the certification of the election was done by ONE side and it wasn’t the left.

Lindsey Graham thinks Biden is politicizing Jan 6th. I don't think Biden gives a fuck what Lindsey Graham thinks.

Lindsey Graham has been quiet for a long time, and I really took that for granted. #CapitolRiot #insurrection

I want the audio of you squealing for your life from the safe room on Jan 6. Someone must have recorded you…

Lindsey Graham is an irrelevant piece of shit who cried about how wrong Jan. 6 was when he realized it didn’t work.
— Kate ??? (@ImSpeaking13) January 6, 2022
I’m pretty sure Jan. 6th was politicized the moment your political base attempted to siege the Capitol with an intent to kill the Vice President.

It's high time Lindsey Graham was dragged out of Donald Trump's ass and made to answer for his crimes.

"Can't we just have a bipartisan insurrection instead of making it all political?"

We’ve gotta say, the senator has sure come a long way from that sentimental car ride he took back in 2016 when he got all teary eyed talking about his old friend Joe.
“The bottom line is, if you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, then it’s probably–you’ve got a problem,” he said. “You need to do some self-evaluation. ‘Because what’s not to like?”
He went on to describe Biden as “the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics” and saying he is “as good a man as God ever created.”
We can’t help but wonder… What changed?

Lady G initially denounced the insurrection last year until she was met by a mini MAGA mob at the airport and then she flipped like a pancake. Lady G lacks a backbone and somewhere her other former BFF John McCain is turning over in his grave.

gurl, you washed up.
senator, time to take your lace undies and go air them out somewhere else.
Mr. Stadnick
This daft old queen should think at least once before posting such idiotic treasonous drivel. Does she want to be thought of as a traitor? Is she pro treason?
Let’s she her try to talk her way out of this!

What a dingbat! Miss Lindsey was distraught last January 6 as she and other Republicans fled the right-wing coup participants who were calling for VP Pence to be hanged and befouling the Capital building, yet now she’s claiming Grandpa Joe is “politicizing” things? You’re confusing him with your fascist, treasonous cult leader, Don the Con, who as the wife of the one of the cops who was killed that day clearly stated, should be punished severely for his role in fomenting the attempted coup and subverting the US Constitution and will of American voters. LOCK DON THE CON UP!!!

Is feminizing Graham a hate crime?
Kangol2 and cuteguy have previously explained why it’s wrong to misgender others; yet, here they are invoking irony. I hope they stop before they, like right-wingers, isn’t the only person
Ronbo
Is it hypocrisy to say that others can’t do is and then do it yourself?
I know a lot of women don’t think that being feminized is a put-down. How long before they start using “gay” or the f-word as a derogatory slur targeting less-evolved straight people?
The feminization seems funny, until Graham runs home crying and commits suicide. According to the comments sections, it’s is a direct result of misgendering and using dead name’s like “Lindsey”? (You know just from his name that his parents disliked him as much as soggy, over-ripe olives).
