Leningrad Lindsey: Jan. 6 hearings 'will not age well'

WASHINGTON (WBTW) — Sen. Lindsey Graham took to Twitter Wednesday afternoon to blast the ongoing hearings about the Jan. 6 storming of former President Donald Trump’s supporters at the U.S. Capitol.
“It remains unchanged that January 6 was a dark day in American history,” Graham ended a Twitter thread, which began with him sharing a Fox News article refuting testimony that Trump lunged to take the wheel away from a Secret Service agent in order to drive to the Capitol. “But this committee’s efforts to politicize the events in a sham, one-sided Star Chamber tribunal, will not end well.”
The tweets come a day after Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aid, told the Jan. 6 committee that Trump became “irate” after he was told he couldn’t join his supporters.
Graham questioned media coverage of the testimony.

He has shown the world he is nothing but a lying hypocrite of no character. Also, a coward. His words mean nothing.

I struggle to think of a bigger flip-flop in recent political history than his position on Trump.

It was like a triple lindy*.

A sham one-sided Star Chamber tribunal!

… with two Republicans on the committee, one of whom is the co-chair, and which has almost exclusively heard from pro-Trump Republicans so far, all of whom have been treated politely and respectfully, and who seem perfectly willing to talk openly and honestly about the events surrounding Jan 6.

It’s a witch hunt I tell ya!

Graham will not go down well in history, even with many of his coterie of male escorts.

No one is turning this into a political game, and he knows damn well that the people being called to testify are Trump people and GOP operatives not Democrats with an ax to grind.

Getting a little nervous in the service?
Afraid of what's coming out in the next few weeks?
Afraid your name is going to be brought up?

We can only hope so.

I'm betting that they have the good on him, and that's why he's making noise. Just like Loudermilk.

I think he's just an opportunist and he thought Trump was the key to, well, something.

We always assume that there must be a motive beyond greed and power, but I don't think it's even needed with someone like Lindsey.

Doesn't mean there isn't something. Just means I think he flip-flops for personal gain, more than anything.
