Stop me if you've heard this one: "A monocle wearing top hat in human form, a Fred Flintstone

lookalike and a melodramatic Southern caricature walk into a bar....."

Over the past few days, Carlson has devoted near-nightly segments to criticizing Graham over his record as a lawmaker. Last week, for instance, the Fox News star spent the final few minutes of his show railing against the Senate Judiciary Committee member for not doing enough to block President Joe Biden’s court picks.

Following that anti-Graham monologue, in which the host called the senator a coward for avoiding his show, a smirking Carlson tapped his papers on his desk and handed his show off to Hannity, who claimed he didn’t hear him. Graham then appeared on Hannity’s show 30 minutes later.

Having already bashed Graham on Tuesday night for his hawkish support of the Afghanistan War—the senator again appeared on Hannity’s show that evening—Carlson expanded his criticism of Graham’s Afghanistan record on Wednesday night.

Stating that one of the reasons why Americans were shocked at how quickly Kabul fell is due to Washington leaders falsely painting a rosy picture of the situation in Afghanistan, Carlson said Graham was “one of the main mouthpieces for these lies.”

li'l lindsey should have blocked Biden's picks?

I'm going to guess not, since Fox figures its audiences are dumbshits. Just saying he should have blocked them is probably enough for them.

On the other hand, could this be more game-playing by Fucks News?
