Lindsey Graham Tries To Defend Trump From Indictment And Steps Into A Steaming Pile Of Irony

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went on Fox “News” Monday evening and did his best impression of Henny Penny, declaring that the sky was definitely falling if disgraced former president Donald Trump wound up being indicted in the state of Georgia for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Appearing with Fox host Jesse Watters, Graham whined that the legal problems facing Trump were “unfair.”

“The American people can decide whether they want him to be president or not,” Graham declared. “This should be decided at the ballot box, not a bunch of liberal jurisdictions trying to put the man in jail.”

As HuffPost notes, many couldn’t help but wonder if Graham fully appreciated the irony of his words.

Users on … Twitter said deciding Trump’s fate at the ballot box was “sorta the point here.”

Jen Psaki Trolls Trump For His Documents Indictment With A ‘Little Trip Down Memory Lane’

There’s an old saying we’ve all heard that’s attributed to writer and philosopher George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

That’s certainly the case when it comes to failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, who has said in the past that all sorts of people should be locked up for what he considers to be horrible crimes.

For example: The 2016 presidential campaign. In that race for the White House, Trump accused his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton of having improperly handled classified information and led his supporters in chants of “lock her up” on the campaign trail.

But as MSNBC host Jen Psaki noted Sunday, now that the shoe is on the other foot and Trump is facing decades behind bars for allegedly taking hundreds of top secret government documents with him and haphazardly storing them at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Donnie is singing a different tune.

“I want to take a little trip down memory lane,” Psaki said. “The year is 2016 and Donald Trump is very fired up over Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information.”

Cue the montage of Trump excoriating Clinton and vowing, if elected, “no one will be above the law.”

Ironically, Trump had Congress increase the penalties for mishandling classified government information after he defeated Clinton. And now those increases in the sentencing guidelines could send him to prison for the rest of his life.

How’s that for some brutal karma?

Twitter users then joined the online trolling of the Donald.

Ana Navarro Lays The Ultimate Burn On Donald Trump Regarding His Indictment 

Ana Navarro of “The View” (along with her fellow co-hosts) celebrated the indictment of failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump on Friday, and managed to lay the ultimate burn on the ex-president.

Sunny Hostin began the festivities, noting, “We feel good!”

“I said he would be held criminally responsible because no one is above the law, Hostin added. “You can’t commit so many crimes and think that you are above the law even if you are the president. … It’s a celebration of the law and how it applies to all of us.”

That’s when Navarro joined the conversation and provided what may well be the best line so far on Donnie’s Manhattan indictment.

“I want to thank this special grand jury because they’ve been meeting for weeks and weeks,” Navarro said. “They’ve done this incredibly seriously. This was not an easy case, this was a case that has risks, and so I thank them because these are regular New Yorkers. These are not people with a political agenda. These are regular New Yorkers. Donald Trump finally won a popular vote yesterday. The grand jury voted to indict him last night.”

Navarro also had this to say:

“I was reading this article where Jared [Kushner] and Ivanka [Trump] want to start their new life in Miami. They now can give their children the distinction of having matching mugshots for both of their grandfathers. You can pick whether you want Charlie Kushner or Donald Trump mugshot if you are Jared and Ivanka’s child.”
