Little Lindsey: Gaetz stunt was "a peaceful protest, not a GOP version of Occupy Wall Street"

Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC

CORRECTION:

I was initially told House GOP took the SCIF by force – basically like a GOP version of Occupy Wall Street.

Apparently it was a peaceful protest. Big difference.

I understand their frustration and they have good reason to be upset.

In other words, Mr JAG Officer, obstruction, intimidation, security breach, criminal conspiracy.

CONservatives use that misrepresentation of Democrats as another hammer in their toolbox of dishonesty.

Oh, and Lindsey, the investigation has been following standard privacy protocol. Trump’s flunky team stormed premises they already have access to. “On behalf of the people’s right to know”? Malignant populist braying.

Shut it, L.
