Sen. Lindsey Graham ‘white men’ joke surfaces

Sen. Lindsey Graham’s possible 2016 presidential bid may have just gotten a bit more complicated.

An audio recording provided to CNN captured the South Carolina Republican joking at a private Charleston club that “white men who are in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency.”

According to the CNN report Wednesday, Graham confirmed the veracity of the recordings. Graham was speaking to the Hibernian Society of Charleston, a charitable group with an all-male membership.

In the recording according to CNN, Graham is heard saying: “I’m trying to help you with your tax status. I’m sorry the government’s so f——- up. If I get to be president, white men in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency.”

I don't know who thought that was a thing, but they were wrong. The man has no chance whatsoever to be President. None. Nice to have insurance though.
