Sen. McCain would be ashamed of his friend. Will the real @LindseyGrahamSC please stand?
This is the real Lindsey Graham. Unfettered and unchecked by the baggage of having a close friend with a conscience
July 2017, Sen. Graham said that if President Trump were to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions there “will be holy hell to pay.” Sessions is “a rock solid conservative,” Graham said, and Trump’s efforts to “marginalize and humiliate” him are “not going over well in the Senate.”
I think asking Sessions to resign is the same as fire, right @LindseyGrahamSC ??
Wow! Who would have thought that @LindseyGrahamSC wouldn't have the same ire against Sessions's firing as he did beforehand? Oh wait, we all knew his spine was going to take a leave of absence when it came down to it.
Three words - ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT!
In other words he wants the job?
July 2017: Sen. Graham warned President Trump “there will be holy hell to pay” if he fired AG Sessions, and dared him to “accept the consequences” if he made such a move. https://nbcnews.to/2zzOS4I pic.twitter.com/XJQbswFm7g
Another words we will look together to find trump’s perfect lap dog
Graham is a hypocrite. When Trump was campaigning, Graham was a major part of the "never Trump" campaign. Now he is a strong supporter. Remember Trump ran on the fears of the middle class white males of having "the brown people" take over. He supports white supremacy.
So much for the HOLY and the HELL.
Even my beloved dog doesn't lay down and roll over that easy when she is about to get a treat.
#TrumpTrainWreck
Didn’t Lindsay Graham say there would be hell to pay if Trump fired Session? Now he’s working with Trump to find a new AG
Graham was bought by trump. He sold any conscience & humanity he may have had. No doubt not much. @LindseyGrahamSC
