Lindsey Graham Screamed at Capitol Police Officer

Source: Political Wire

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) told MSNBC that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) “screamed” at an officer for not doing “enough” to protect senators as the U.S. Capitol was being breached last week.

Said Brown: “I heard when the 75 senators were confined in a room with about 75 staff people, Lindsey Graham with his mask off started screaming at one of the officers — I think it was one of the captains — saying, ‘How come you didn’t protect us? It’s doing your job.'”

delusions...so in a way, I hope LG got a taste of what raw hate is, looking at him in the face, despite the fact that he's a top republican senator, he was down on the floor w/ the rest of the peasants/non-senators, cowering.

and it carried over to his statements during the vote count when he said, "count me out!"

Too bad this didn't last.

MY money would be on he knew what was suppose to happen.

And although I don't know who else was in the room with him maybe, he realized "the plan" included taking someone who was in the room with him away for "special treatment."

Granted, this is only speculation on my part, but this is exactly why we CANNOT just move on as if nothing happened.
Someone knows exactly what was suppose to happen (zip tie cuffs etc.). If we dig deep enough, someone will give up key info for a deal that keeps them out of jail.

Remember these posts from yesterday:

When I asked how did you get my phone number, they answered, "we are the United States Secret Service"!

In summary, if you had a cellphone on and wherein the Capital, THEY know you were there.

...... Joe Biggs having dinner at the Trump hotel with Lindsey Graham before Biggs helped organize an assault on the U.S. Capitol?

No wonder Graham was really scared. He knew what was coming and probably who they were coming for?

Maybe now you have SOME inkling of what students in Connecticut, Florida and other places felt.

Well, some of them.
They just weren't as lucky as you.

Maybe next time a vote comes up on semi and automatic weapons, you'll remember just how fortunate you guys were.
Or maybe next time you or your friends won't be as lucky.

Who's to blame? Anyone but you guys, I guess.
