Lindsey's on a roll: Calling for someone to kill Putin (not so good coming from a SENATOR)

Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?

The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.

You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service.

Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
The only people who can fix this are the Russian people.

Easy to say, hard to do.

Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate.

in the near future. So in that light I think its justified for some politicians to say it.

I'm sure this will play well in Russia where one of the propagandized reasons for going into Ukraine is because the West is gunning for Russia.

Ingraham: I don’t know why a sitting US Senator would be tweeting that out. It seems really dangerous and stupid and we like Lindsey Graham but that’s just a stupid comment


Watch on Twitter

Do you know how horrible it feels to have Ingraham agree with me? LOL

But seriously, RT uses Fox clips all the time

An almost-certainly closeted gay guy who works against the interest of gay people ranting in defense of a likely rapist.

Is it known if he has this problem?

It is wildly reckless and irresponsible for a U.S. Senator to call for assassination of anyone, no matter how evil.

I think he knows where this is going and it's not going to end up well for anybody, regardless of what side you are on. He's a self-serving, narcissistic ass-kisser, but he just might be right about this one.

They are all scared.

Official representatives of our government cannot be advocating for assassinations of other heads of state.

That’s just not acceptable.

The fact that he is now willing to turn and bite his master informs me that he worked for money and not because of compromat. He may have compromat, but at this point wants a copy of the video for himself and this may be the only way he can get it.

Worthless weasel that he is, he still manages to be right about something roughly once every 19 months or so.

Motherfucker is attacking a sovereign nation and systematically slaughtering civilians and targeting villages and schools... for no reason other than power... and folks here are concerned about the decorum coming from a senator?
