This just in: Nobody likes Sen. Lindsey Graham. Even his most fervent supporters appear to be over his constant attempts at talking out of both sides of his mouth.
While speaking at a fundraiser in Summerville, South Carolina over the weekend, the 66-year-old, who opposes mask mandates, took a moment to urge his constituents to get vaccinated, and, let’s just say the message was not well received.
“If you haven’t had the vaccine, you ought to think about getting it because if you’re my age…” he said, before he was interrupted boos and people shouting “Nooooo!” and “AbSoLuTeLy NoT!”

How about we take this to the next level?

A nervous-looking Graham, who had a breakthrough case of COVID-19 after attending a boat party in August, then told the crowd, “Well, I’m glad I got it. Ninety-two percent of people in hospitals in South Carolina are unvaccinated…” before he was interrupted again with cries of “Lord Jesus!” and “FALSE!” and “NoT tRuE!”
“How many of you have taken measles shots?” he inquired, prompting yet another series of of boos and cries of “It’S nOt tHe SaMe!” and “It’S jUsT tHe FlU!”
Watch.

Imagine booing Lindsey Graham for suggesting that people get vaccinated but not booing him for literally everything else he’s ever said.

Lindsey Graham was booed when he suggested getting vaccinated to a group of Repubs. He said later, "It was so triggering, all of a sudden I was right back in third grade, wearing white linen slacks after Labor Day"

The demographics race we’re losing badly. Republicans are not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term. -Lindsey Graham in 2012

Graham is a power-hungry bottom(feeder). his soul left his body a long time ago.
Mister P
He has said so many contradictory things he should be booed every time he opens his trap.

Republicans thought they could stoke the crazy to get elected, but just like the royal family in Saudi Arabia making a deal with the radical clerics, Republicans are finding out that you can only hold a tiger by the tail for so long until it turns on you.

Miss Lindsey is as spineless as Trump. Newest info. from Stephanie Grisham’s book state that Lindsey would often show up at Mar-A-Lago to freeload food from Trump’s restaurant. How pathetic!!!

Didn’t Trump get booed in August in Alabama for encouraging people to get vaccinated.? This was Graham at an untypical moment. To remain “relevant”, at his next event he won’t mention the vaccine or he’ll talk about how the vaccine has “divided the nation” or whatever other crap. Too bad some of his voters are going to die, but bigotry is a long way from losing in South Carolina and in the Republican presidential nomination process – at least as long as the South Carolina primary plays the role that it does in choosing the Republican presidential nominee. The Republicans, for political power – could care less about demagoguery destroying the nation from within. If I were religious, I’d say a prayer for America right now.

Honestly the crowd didnt look that stupid. I guess these constant FOX lies has seduced more than the ignorant deplorables

How does the Princess Graham justify his homophobia when we know he wears knee pads when he visits trump? If the Princess isn’t gay then I’d be totally surprised. I have a 3 year old niece with more balls than that loser.

Graham made his bed. Now he, and his pool boy, have to sleep in it.

that moaning sound they all make together is a precursor to how they’ll sound in intensive care just before the ventilator tube is shoved down their throats.

If they continue not to listen to science and a reason then their possible death is theirs to embrace. In the meantime, they should be held responsible for every death they passed on to someone unable or who where to young to make the choice for themselves to get vaccinated.

Those fascist republithugs speak out all sides of their mouths. And their “supporters ” Boo and heckle them. That’s rich and at the same time a VERY bad sign. The inmates have seized control of the asylum. And they’re are as bat shit crazy as their overlords.. The whole republican party and it’s “followers /supporters ” have dangerously become Neo NAZI FASCIST psychotics. Hopefully they’ll ALL isolate themselves on a HUGE ranch out West , get Covid and DIE. Just become DEAD ,DEAD,DEAD !! That’ll thin out the herd, get rid of the really dumb ass IDIOT MORONS and we’ll continue to live our LIVES without interruption from Disease carrying dim wit knuckle dragging cave dwellers..
