After bigot and demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump was blasted for his series of racist tweets yesterday (by everyone who's not a Rethuglican, that is), Trump's most reliable towel boy and sycophantic hack Sen. Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham unleashed an unhinged attack on the four Congresswomen this morning on "Fux and Trump's Friends" saying:
“We all know [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and this crowd are a bunch of communists. They hate Israel, they hate our own country. They’re calling the guards along our border, Border Patrol agents concentration camp guards. They accuse people support Israel doing it for the Benjamins. They’re anti-Semitic. They’re anti-America." [snip]
“They’re socialists. They’re anti-Semitic,” Graham declared. “They stand for all the things that most Americans disagree with. Make them the face of the future of the Democrat Party. You will destroy the Democrat Party.”A plain and simple smear, nothing about the obvious, rancid racism displayed in Trump's ugly tweets, directed at the four Congresswomen (all American citizens, elected by Americans, three born in this country) suggesting they should go back to "their own countries". Graham, who in 2015 called his new master "a race-baiting, xenophobic bigot", has devolved into Trump's close ally and slobbering defender, a development that must have his erstwhile friend and Trump nemesis Sen. John McCain doing somersaults in his grave. He's full of sweaty fear about his re-election bid in 2020, about being primaried, and about crossing his unstable, racist leader.
Twitter reactions to Graham's Trump-stroking performance were dead-on and brutal:
Lindsey Graham is a modern day Joseph McCarthy, with an extra soupçon of crazy in his Smithers-like sycophancy. Like McCarthy, Graham's name, too, will go down in infamy for his dishonesty and baseless attacks in support of a mad king.— S (@Yes_Its_Me_S) July 15, 2019
Wow what a surprise that Lindsay has gone full-on Klan— Anita Creamer (@AnitaCreamer) July 15, 2019
Someone remind me. What does Trump have on Graham that's making him grovel to stay out of trouble?— kalbzayn (@kalbzayn) July 15, 2019
Lindsey Graham has no spine and no soul. He will sell himself to anyone who has power. So pathetic.— DogsGoneCrazy (@3DogGoneCrazy) July 15, 2019
Wow! Guess you got more than a pep talk during that golf game with trump. Did he remind you that Putin has your emails too, not just the DNC's?— Sandy B (@sandy_b_good) July 15, 2019
Kompromat Graham got his marching orders at golf yesterday— Eileen Stern (@estern839) July 15, 2019
