Lindsey Graham backs Trump: 'This is a lynching in every sense'

[spanone]

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday said President Trump is absolutely right to call the House impeachment process a “lynching.”

“This is a lynching in every sense. This is un-American,” Graham said to reporters.

“I’ve never seen a situation in my lifetime as a lawyer where somebody is accused of a major misconduct who cannot confront the accuser, call witnesses on her behalf and have the discussion in the light of day so the public can judge,” he said.

Graham made his comments after Trump caused a firestorm by tweeting that the House impeachment inquiry is a “lynching.”

1. "in every sense"

Well, there's a pretty historically-significant one that it doesn't even remotely resemble there, Linds.

9. Of Course Not. And If Questioned About It, I'm Sure Lindsey Would

hop around with his tin-foil hat, buck-nekkid save for adult diapers and a chicken-feathered vest, and shout "IOKALAYAAR!" "IOKALAYAAR!" "IOKALAYAAR!". *





* FYI for newbies, that's "It's OK As Long As You Are A Republican."

5. Jamie Harrison, Step on up and bring Ole Lindsey to heel......

Democratic Party Senate Candidate, Jamie Harrison, should point out that Lindsey Graham is DEPLORABLE. His support of Trump, his choice of words regarding the Impeachment process taking place, is nothing in comparison to the senseless killing of blacks for no other reason than for the co,or of their skins.

If voters in South Carolina side with Lindsey Graham on this, that shows they have not
rogressed forward in over 200 years.

6. Ever hear of a Grand Jury??? Well, Congress is having to act like one Sen. Graham!

Because the Dept. of Justice has been hijacked!

7. But wait!

Yesterday was different than today, today is different than tomorrow, so on so on! He is trying stay on Trump's good side and then again he trying to tie himself to Romney!

8. You know this is just an inquiry, right Senator?

There haven't even been public hearings taking testimony and receiving evidence. No one has been formally accused of anything at this point, Senator. You're a lawyer and this has to be explained to you? Are you irretrievably stupid or just being willfully obtuse?

10. Opposing justice now

Graham, shows how much contempt he really has for it. trumps made a fool of him.

11. The Drama Queen is BACK!

I knew it was just a matter of time.

12. The trial is held in the Senate, Lindsey. As an attorney, I'd think you might know that.

13. Tell that to Emmet Till.

Oh wait....

14. Leningrad Lindsey cares more to protect Trump's ass than protecting the US

[Mister Ed]

15. There are countless photos that I haven't the heart to post...

...that would quickly show Senator Graham what a lynching in every sense of the word looks like.
