Lindsey Graham Warns Kamala Harris May Be Impeached if Republicans Take Back House

[TomCADem]

Source: Newsweek

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and close ally of former President Donald Trump, threatened on Sunday that Vice President Kamala Harris will face impeachment if Republicans take back the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections.

The GOP lawmaker—along with some other Republicans—has repeatedly compared Harris' decision to support bailing out Black Lives Matter demonstrators who had been arrested last spring to Trump's actions ahead of the January 6 insurrection against the U.S. Capitol. Following the Senate vote to acquit Trump on Saturday, Graham again reiterated this comparison—arguing that Harris was guilty of inciting violence just as House Democrats and 10 House Republicans had alleged of the former president when voting to impeach him last month.

* * *
Graham's claim about Harris is exaggerated. The vice president, who was then a senator for California and not yet selected as President Joe Biden's running mate, tweeted out a link to a fundraiser by the Minnesota Freedom Fund on June 1. Harris urged her followers to "chip in" to "help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota" in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.

During his Sunday interview, Graham also took aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, who strongly rebuked Trump on Saturday after the Senate acquitted the former president. Although McConnell voted with the majority of Republicans to acquit Trump, he said in a floor speech after the vote that this was due to Trump no longer being in office and was not a judgment on the merits of the House impeachment managers' arguments.

Republicans can help but dip into racism by comparing support of peaceful protests against police violence against African Americans with Trump's efforts to spark an insurrection to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

1. The Head Trump mouthpiece spews...

I wonder if the Pig is giving G a script.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. She's an uppity Black/Asian woman who had the temerity to become Vice President.

I guess that's enough grounds for impeachment for Leningrad Lindsey.

[Evolve Dammit]

96. I think that about sums it up. n/t

[TryLogic]

100. Yep

[samnsara]

3. did BLM try to take over the Capital? nope.....

..dream on Lindsey. Protests and insurrections are different..

[bdamomma]

71. I bet Lindsey

was at that Jan 5th meeting.

[still_one]

4. For what Graham? Being black you racist pig

[sheshe2]

95. That is exactly why.

[rickyhall]

5. Make it STFU & go away.

[TwilightZone]

6. That doesn't make any logical sense.

If it was OK for Trump, and clearly Lindsey thinks so, then what Harris did should be OK as well. His false equivalence makes them equal.

If the two things are equal (in his mind, not in reality) and one is just fine by his standards, then so is the other.

[Jay25]

27. Thinking the same thing.

[eShirl]

7. for revenge, of course

[Irish_Dem]

8. GOP leadership style is to threaten and bully.

That is all they seem to know how to do.

[jaxexpat]

21. But this is frilly Lindsey in his first "big boy" pants. He's looks ridiculous threatening adults.

[Iliyah]

9. Graham and his . .. .

cohorts already have many screws loose, but the deeper they go up shithole's arse, reality fades, plus the establishment republicans are slowly taking back their party which isn't that great, but some sort of denying shithole's cult is s little comfort.

[Thekaspervote]

10. Okay everyone..this is our call..keep the house blue in '22..pass it on

Not that his threat is particularly worrisome, but this should be one more rally cry for Dems

[Dawson Leery]

11. A rallying cry for the Democrats against the GOP Klan.

[justhanginon]

12. Lindsey Graham, the epitome of white trash. No one should care

one iota about your sucking up to trump ravings.

[tavernier]

13. I hope he hasn't gotten his Covid shot yet

because once he is punctured, tons of shit will explode all over the poor nurse who gives it to him.

[OhioTim]

63. Saw The Photo

He was one of the first in line for the vaccine with his ReThug buddies.

[fantase56]

14. i am so waiting for these aging cretins

to stroke out and die.....

[Dawson Leery]

16. When they die, they will be replaced with Qanon Klansmen.

The honest version of the putrid right.

[AirmensMom]

45. Can I rec this?

It's what I've been thinking for a while now.

[azureblue]

15. LOL Lindsey

In 2022, there won't even be a GOP. Or else it will be a shadow of itself, torn to shreds from within. But dream on - your scare tactics are little more than humor, now.
Lindsey - you should be 100% focused on keeping your party together, right now, instead of throwing out the same old BS you been throwing out.

[Butterflylady]

76. Speaking of 2022

They won't be taking the house back.

[DownriverDem]

17. Talk about motivation

for our side to vote in the Midterms of 2022.

[Marcuse]

18. New rules. So in 2024 Biden should do the same things that Trump did, right Lindsay?

[Walleye]

19. Well Lindsay is the one who ought to know a lot about frivolous impeachments

[FakeNoose]

25. He's despicable

[Walleye]

43. 🤑💩🐀

[C_U_L8R]

20. He knows she will be the next President

And it scares the racist weakling inside him.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Exactly, they are going to throw everything they can at her.

To damage her before she runs for president.

[Tatertot]

22. Not Guilty

simple

[marble falls]

24. IF, Lindsey Graham would get to hear about it from the prison grapevine.

[treestar]

26. Why Harris? Why not Biden?

Very strange.

[AirmensMom]

46. Well, she's black

and she's a woman. Those would be 2 reasons.

[LogicFirst]

29. Graham better be careful using threats. If the people like Harris, he may alienate some

republican women.

[BlueJac]

30. Lindsey who?

No longer chairman of Judiciary committee!

[jalan48]

31. Graham is speaking for the House now? Isn't he the important one.

[tishaLA]

32. tRump probably promised Lindsey he'd help him be repub leader

in the senate by threatening anyone who stands with Mitch as long as Graham does whatever tRump wants.

[hedda_foil]

36. That was my first thought too, tishaLA.

[Marie Marie]

33. Oh dear, I hope the poor dear didn't pull something with that stretch.

[bucolic_frolic]

34. Impeachment in searchof a crime is bass ackwards!

Lindsey run amock.

[Mr.Bill]

35. If the republicans take the House in '22,

It's going to be an impeachment-o-rama. I'm quite sure they will impeach every democrat in sight on a daily basis. This is because they have been obstructing for so long they have no legislative skills whatsoever.

[niyad]

37. Hey, leningrad lindsey. STFU, you racist, misogynistic, traitorous, irrelevant, trumphumping

bastard.

[Evolve Dammit]

99. Thanks. Took most of the words out of my mouth. But not all!

[dlk]

38. Graham has become so bitter and angry

He must live in constant emotional turmoil.

[njd2025]

39. Another complete disregard for the rule of law by the party of sedition and insurrectionists

What exact law did she break? Helping people post bail is breaking what law? This is pure insanity.

A funny thing happened to me back in late May when this was all going on. I was on vacation visiting my father-in-law. He own's a lake house and I was doing some fishing. I usually try to stay out of political conversations with him because he's an ultra-right wing Fox News Republican. Inevitable during the trip I was forced to watch Fox News as I was making dinner one night. All the rioting was going on and people were protesting the killing of George Floyd and excessive police brutality. My father-in-law was out of his mind livid over the police not respond with more force against protestors. So I said, "You think they need to really crack down on the protestors?" He said, "Yeah, they need to really crack down. They need to use overwhelming force." I wasn't going to argue with him because I was visiting his house and I wanted to be a good guest. But what is really funny to me is he completely did not see the irony of "cracking down" on people protesting police brutality! Omg. We live in crazy times!

[Lock him up.]

56. It's just to plant another seed of ignoRance for the Fux Noi$e cretinous audience

to consume. Keep them Qultists believing in his idiocies: Trump's Modus Operandi.

[oldsoftie]

40. Far as I know, you cant impeach for acts that occurred before taking office.

He should know that

[moose65]

94. That was my question as well

Can she be impeached for something that happened before she was elected to her current office? I think not, dear Lindsey. 🙄

[andym]

41. Graham still doesn't understand that Trump's crime was inciting an insurrection against the US

not mere "inciting violence", which of course Kamala Harris did not do.Perhaps he should be called a "Donald J Trump" as a liar and seditionist in the same way that people refer to Benedict Arnold as a traitor.

[malthaussen]

42. Oh, gee, Lindsey Graham is a racist and misogynist. Who knew? n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. Graham is bloviating. . . . nt

[rurallib]

47. what he won't do to get a little action with his Furher

Racism, misogyny, lies from stem to stern, with white supremacy and hate. On Valentine's Day, Lyndse sends a love message from one white supremacist to another.

[Retrograde]

48. For what? Vice-prezidentin' while a woman?

How does this misogynistic waste of protoplasm get elected again and again?

[lastlib]

64. while a BLACK woman.......

WHY won't that misogynistic waste of protoplasm DIE already?? My bladder's hurting.

[patphil]

49. Lindsey Graham wants the Senate Majority Leader gavel so bad he can taste it.

[bdamomma]

104. hmmm.....

fight between McConnell and Graham.........should be very interesting.

[Fla Dem]

50. Lindsey Graham is a complete F"ing A-hole.

After Trump, there is NO-ONE more despicable, oh except for Jim Jordan, Scott Hawley, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio etc,.....

But Lindsey really takes the 1st prize.

[Wawannabe]

51. Rep. Raskin taught me that

She cannot be impeached because this happened before she was elected as VP!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

52. Graham is a racist Nazi. He wants to impeach VP Harris for

the crime of being black.

And when I say he is a racist Nazi, I mean it literally.

[Captain Zero]

53. Maybe he can enjoy it from Georgia State prison

Where he will be for election fraud.

[BadgerMom]

102. Came to bring up the same point.

The investigation into election interference that began with Trump’s call to Raffensperger has grown to include Graham’s call as well.

[CentralMass]

54. Lindsey's formal position is "Chief Butt Nugget" of the GOP.

[Warpy]

55. Does Mr. Hateful realize he needs to come up with a crime, first?

Right now he's just blowing more smoke and hot air.

Being a POC is not grounds for impeachment, buster.

[niyad]

57. Lindsey graham, in a fit of racist, misogynist pique, stamps feet and spitefully threatens VP Harris

There, fixed it for you.

[abakan]

58. Mr Graham is not in the body that has the power to impeach, no matter what he thinks.

Trump can not help him and the democrats will stop him and his demon minions from touching her.
I keep seeing there is enthusiasm for 2022 but after the shitshow in the senate I don't hold out any
hope for non Democrats.

[gademocrat7]

59. Graham is a despicable man.

He is not fit to hold office.

[COL Mustard]

60. All The More Reason Not To Allow Them To Take Back The House

They don't deserve it and should not be allowed in any kind of positions of power until they've had a chance to grow up and out of the T***p-induced temper tantrums.

Go suck an egg, Linseed.

[Beachnutt]

61. Someone needs to remind him of his phone calls to Georgia

[KarenS]

62. I just went to look Lindsey Graham up to see his age,,,,

I think he is dementia-ed,,,, I know age/old-age is relative but to my Husband & I he's 'only' 65,,,, ok so it is early-onset dementia,,,,
the man has lost it.

[SunSeeker]

66. Wow, I thought he was older. Hate ages you I guess. nt

[dchill]

65. Fluffer says what?

[abakan]

85. Putin NT

[orangecrush]

68. Wooooooo

I'm skeered!

[iluvtennis]

69. They won't win the Senate in 2022...so Lindsey can STFU. nt

[bdamomma]

70. They will never stop being

racist to the core, Lindsay Graham needs to arrested also for the call to Georgia's SOS.

[TryLogic]

101. Trump's insanity must be contageous.

Graham is crazy as hell.

[muntrv]

72. For what? Vice Presidenting while woman, black, and Indian?

[Red Mountain]

73. If they take the House in two years I'd expect no less

but the blowback from doing anything that stupid would be a wonderful campaign boon for the Democrats in 2024.

Proceed, Senator.

[Snackshack]

74. Lindsey Graham...

Not supposed to say bad things about him. A person who’s single handed protection of DT has caused more damage and death then we will even know.. so I won’t.

[paleotn]

75. Yea, whatever.

[Tommymac]

77. Ah, Bless Your Heart, Mr. Lindsey

But it don't amount to a hill of beans you RACIST FUCK.

[McKim]

78. Thanks for the Reminder, Lindsey!

Thanks for the reminder. Lindsey! I am donating to Rep. Peter de Fazio's campaign today here in Oregon!

[trueblue2007]

80. FROM TWITTER :::::

Laura High-heeled shoe
Marlin Retweeted A Hopeful Citizen @ThePubliusUSA

Lindsey Graham says that the GOP will impeach Madame Vice President if it takes back control of the House in 2022 because, well, he wants to shift focus away from the fact that he is exposed to criminal liability.

[Squinch]

83. You suggest that Lindsay is actually a woman, or womanish, when you say "miss Lindsay."

So the worst think you can think of when you want to denigrate this man is to say he is actually a woman or womanish? More like me, a woman, than like a "proper man." And that's an insult? Is that what you really want to say here?

Because, as you know perfectly well, that is offensive on every level.

[trueblue2007]

87. don't put words in my mouth ... i just like the meme...... southern lady with her parasol.

[Squinch]

88. Yes, of course. You just like that homophobic and sexist slur.

[BlueStater]

81. Jesus Christ, what a little fucker. n/t

[Turbineguy]

82. Who says

dividing the country isn't hard work?

[Marthe48]

84. All the more reason to GOTV!

We can't even rest up from 2020. Just keep on going. It is so hard to believe that the worst enemies of our bastion of liberty are American citizens.

[peggysue2]

86. I sure hope that there's an investigation in Lindsey Graham

In the Georgia probe, perhaps. Or some other shenanigans he's had his paws in. Why? Because he's become as malevolent and vindictive as his best friend, Donald Trump.

Sickening!

[riversedge]

89. oh my, Harris sent out a tweet.........

........Graham's claim about Harris is exaggerated. The vice president, who was then a senator for California and not yet selected as President Joe Biden's running mate, tweeted out a link to a fundraiser by the Minnesota Freedom Fund on June 1. Harris urged her followers to "chip in" to "help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota" in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

90. Hey, Lindsey, you're going to have enough trouble because of your Georgia voting fuckery.

And these are state laws against trying to throw an election, so they don't give a shit that you're a senator -- from another state, no less.

[Joinfortmill]

91. Graham needs to worry about his own sorry ass.

[Orrex]

92. Well, let's be honest

The next time Repugs hold the House while (or after) a Democrat is president, they will absolutely vote to impeach that Democrat THREE times, on whatever fucked up imaginary charges they can draft, specifically so that they can say "Trump may have been impeached twice, but at least he wasn't impeached three times."

[Barb arian]

93. Somebody shove something down this bastard's throat!

He really needs to shut the fuck up!

[LaMouffette]

97. Kamala is the new Hillary for them. To get people to believe a lie, you have to repeat it over and

over and over and over. So Lindsay is just getting a head start on getting Trump's vicious base to transfer their hatred of Hillary to Kamala. I don't think encouraging people to chip in to post bail is a very effective "But her emails!" but for them, it will have to do until they latch on to some other lie they can begin repeating about Kamala.

[orleans]

98. he's such a trump asswipe--really disgusting to watch & listen to nt

[GoCubsGo]

103. Somebody's scared, and it isn't Kamala.

This sounds like he's trying to distract from something. Afraid your secrets are about to be exposed, Lindsey?

[Vivienne235729]

105. Impeachment based on what?!?!?!? I just can't w these people.

I sure hope Lindsey Graham gets out in the slammer. But I find it interesting that they are so afraid of Kamila Harris. They are TERRIFIED.

[Joinfortmill]

106. Lindsey Graham appears to have lost his mind.

[twodogsbarking]

107. Small loss,

eh.

[muriel_volestrangler]

108. Christ, what an asshole (nt)
