Lindsey Graham to Republicans backing Harris: "What the hell are you doing?"
Source: Axios
2 hours ago
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) lambasted fellow Republicans crossing party lines to support Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday, asking, "What the hell are you doing?"
Why it matters: Graham's rebuke comes as several prominent Republicans, some of whom worked in former President Trump's White House, have lined up behind the Democratic ticket or have vowed they will not support the GOP nominee in his third quest for the presidency.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who joined Harris on the campaign trail, and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, are two GOP stalwarts who ditched partisan affiliations to back the vice president, warning of dangers they believe Trump poses.
What he's saying: Graham, in a testy back-and-forth with NBC News' Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press," questioned why Republicans are supporting the candidate he considers "the most radical nominee in the history of American politics."
Graham asked: "What are you doing? You are trying to convince me that Donald Trump's rhetoric is the danger to this country?" He continued, "The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris ... I can't take four more years of this crap."
Zoom in: Graham was questioned about Retired U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley's characterization of Trump as "a fascist to the core" in journalist Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, "War."
Graham, who has previously praised Milley, said he thinks Trump's former top general is wrong. "General Milley, you have a right to your opinion, but I don't fear Donald Trump," he said. "I fear what's going on in the world today. If you want the world to stay on fire, vote for her."

They do not support Trump's policies, nor the way he presents himself, nor the fact he's a fascist, felon, narcissist, rapist, just to name a few. They are definitely supporting the country and the foundation that made this country. It's called the constitution. Hey Lindsey you dumbass, as many have post here, it's all about country first. What an idiot that he does not recognize this. They are not bowing to the dictator, like you are. Stupid is as stupid does.

(4,520 posts)* that could possibly land them in a courtroom, or in prison. They have nothing to fear. They aren't being blackmailed into supporting or defending or excusing Trump.
As I said, it's just a guess. I don't know for sure, but I've heard other people speculating.

(3,175 posts)The creation of that nickname just hit me one day. I started out by trying to come up with a different word for his orange face, and so, Cantaloupe. The Caligula part was just obvious, and it didnt take long to come up with a synonym for his excess mass. And thus, the alliterative Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent was born. 😁

(1,749 posts)Caligula is the best nickname for Trump. I tried
Voldemort and and D'Arth Vader.. But these guys are too smart for Trump. He isn't top dog, he's a subordant to Putin like Malfoys's dad was subordinant to Voldemort. They pledge allegience and then they are slaves.No room for love.
Sometimes fiction is truth.

Dan
(4,106 posts)I suspect that the majority of us, dont care if he is gay, but dislike the hypocrisy of his being a GOP Senator.
Plus, there was an article about a month ago where it was speculated that Trump had given permission to Lara Trump to attack Lindsey over being gay, and yet he comes back and kisses the ring.
Bad a Ted Cruz after the attacks on his wife. I would have had more respect for a GOP Senator/Representative if they had chosen to knock Trump on his ass.

Or do you just feel so safe in your white maleness that rhe rest of the country can go to hell? I have a suggestion for you, Linda, go to Russia, make your bed with Putin, and stay there. Believe me, what you're advocating fits there much better than here. Or does Putin have blackmail on you, too?

(1,884 posts)Is such a flake. Asking what the hell the Republicans who are voicing their support for Harris are doing. The funny thing is he knows fucking full well what theyre doing and he knows its the right move, but that weak jackass can never stop kissing Trumps ass.
We have a lot of decent Congress people, mostly in the Democrat party, trying to do good with their lives and help others. Then of course we have the guys like Graham and countless others who are national disgraces. They know how dangerous and awful Trump and Vance are, but they are perfectly happy to sell us all down the river full speed ahead for Nazism, which is trying to take over our country.
