Lindsey Graham on criticism of Trump: 'I don't remember John McCain having to go through this crap'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON – When asked about the difference between former Sen. John McCain and President Donald Trump criticism of their political opponents, Sen. Lindsey Graham angrily told reporters, "I don't remember John McCain having to go through this crap every day."

Graham made the remark when CNN's Manu Raju asked him how much the Republican Party had changed in light of the "send her back" chant that Trump supporters leveled at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., at a North Carolina rally on Wednesday. Raju contrasted that with how McCain famously defended his Democratic opponent in the 2008 presidential race, then-Sen. Barack Obama, from a woman at a rally who said she did not trust Obama because he was "an Arab."

"No ma'am," McCain said at that Oct. 2008 rally before taking the microphone from the audience member. "He's a decent, family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues."

Earlier at that rally in Lakeville, Minnesota, another man told McCain, "We're scared of an Obama presidency."

"I want to be president of the United States and obviously I do not want Sen. Obama to be," McCain responded. "But I have to tell you, he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared as president of the United States."

That response drew boos from some members of the audience.

Yet you've kissed Trump's hiney repeatedly especially since McCain is no longer around.

1. Since we know John can send rain on the Trump Parade

Do you think they might hand him a ligtning bolt or 2?

2. Lil' Lindsey is no John McCain

Graham is nothing more than a Trumpanzee cheerleader. Dear Leader must have quite the Kompromat on ole Lindsey to have him singing and carrying all this stinky fetid water for the Orange Menace.

3. John McCain didn't have to "go through this crap every day" because

he didn't do the crap Trump does every day. As much as I disagreed with McCain on damn near every policy issue, I appreciated that he was able to acknowledge that his political adversary was not his enemy and was entitled to respect. Trump doesn't come close to that level of decency, and neither does Lindsey Graham anymore. Any scraps of decency and honor Graham might have once had were buried with McCain, on whose grave he never misses a chance to piss.

10. John Mc Cain was a better man than Donald Trump

And I have been less than impressed with you, Mr. Graham, since you were a little Congress-critter calling for Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
