Grahams comments come as House Republicans attempt to oust Rep. Liz Cheney from her position as chair of the House Republican Conference for daring to defend the 2020 election results.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Thursday that the GOPs only path forward is with former President Donald Trump.
I would just say to my Republican colleagues, can we move forward without Donald Trump?, Sen. Graham said to Sean Hannity on Fox News. The answer is no.
Sen. Grahams comments come as House Republicans are once again gearing up to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her position as chair of the House Republican Conference because she refuses to spread or legitimize the lie that the 2020 election was fraudulent. Rep. Cheney was one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump for his part in inciting the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
I've always liked Liz Cheney, but she's made a determination that the Republican Party can't grow with President Trump, Sen. Graham said Thursday. I've determined that we can't grow without him."

Hate, stupidity and anger simply don't sell, except to the worst among us. They're a melting iceberg adrift in a warm sea. Their doom is inevitable.

Just like they did when Scalia died.

I think we should start calling Republicans the Trump Party.

It seems this dumb-as-a-stump MFer hasn't noticed that disgusting sack of shit party has been shrinking under that syphilitic, orange ballsack for some time now. Hopefully, when Rudy throws his boss under the bus, ol Lindsey will be under those tires, too.
