Senator Lindsey Graham CONTRADICTS Donald Trump, Says Liz Cheney SHOULD NOT be jailed - Glenn Kirschner



Who would have thought Senator Lindsey Graham could ever be a point of light amidst the Trump-induced darkness. But after Donald Trump said that Liz Cheney and the members of the January 6 House select committee who investigated Trump's January 6-related crimes should be imprisoned, Senator Lindsey Graham directly contradicted Trump, saying those who investigated January 6 should NOT be imprisoned. - Glenn Kirschner - 12/17/2024.

People who tell the truth about criminals and strive to have them held accountable should be applauded by Patriotic Americans. The incredible silence by those who care naught of law and order and who support trump is deafening.

3. I was and still am totally blindsided that anyone in this 248 year old democracy would choose to vote for a convicted felon

Let alone one who attempted to overthrow the government (which should have disqualified him from running for any public office), stole and likely shared our classified secrets and was impeached twice for his crimes against this country. And we have seen that he's neither chastened nor reformed, his initial actions have clearly doubled down on what got him in trouble in the first place.

His supporters are treasonous. At Best.

I see a rough ride ahead for him. His nominees, his almost defensive posture. His instant failure of deporting millions. His suing those who tell the truth. His amateurish Speaker of the House and his decisions or lack thereof. America May suffer but trump will. At his own hand.

6. Thank you. I'm just hoping that we can make it through the next four long years

Especially since we know exactly what to expect - lies, attacks on everyone who disagrees with him, alienation from our long-time allies, and a serious challenge to our democracy. And my fear is that he won't step down after those four years, we know that he has no respect for the Constitution, nor does he even know what it says, despite his disingenuous oath.

BBC could make an awesome Miniseries about The Senator from South Carolina. His Trials. His Tribulations. His Past. His Present. His Future a Mystery. All with British Accents.
