According to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the presidential pardons that Criminal-in-Chief Donald Trump handed out to hundreds of violent domestic terrorists and insurrectionist scumbags this week are no big deal because Donnie was merely keeping a campaign promise.
During an appearance this morning on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Graham was asked by host Dana Bash, “If somebody was pardoned…and they believe that they can do what they want if they do it in the president’s name, isn’t that encouraging dangerous lawlessness?”
Rather than respond, Graham tried to change the subject.
“You know, when Kamala Harris wanted to go on —” he began.
“Let’s stay on Donald Trump,” Bash insisted.
“I know, but let’s talk about the problem,” Graham said. “The problem is, she tried to raise money, called them freedom fighters who burned down Minneapolis. They tried to burn down the Oakland courthouse.”
“Senator! I’m asking you about —”
“Well, I know you just want to talk about Trump —”
“Well, he’s the president!” Bash reminded the senator.
“But I see it as a bigger problem,” Graham insisted. “I mean, yes, I’ve said clearly, I do not like it when President Trump pardoned people who beat up cops. But I didn’t like it when Biden pardoned all of his family going out the door. I didn’t like it when Kamala Harris tried to raise bail money for people who beat up cops and shot them in the head. I don’t like any of this!”
“Because there are people who testified, law enforcement who testified in these trials, prosecutors who are worried for their safety,” Bash reminded Graham.
Graham: “Well, the public was told by Trump what he would do, and he did it. So, you can’t say he lied to anybody. Biden said he wasn’t going to pardon his family and —”
“Whether you like Trump or not, he said, ‘This is what I’m going to do,’ and he did it.'”
If Trump does something, it’s fine. That’s where the Republican Party is. Donald Trump is their god, and they’d probably support him even if he started quoting Hitler and demanded that every American bow down and thank God for Cheetolini three times a day.
This is how a democracy dies. We have to resist and overcome these fascist thugs.
