Related: About this forumLindsey Graham says there will be riots if DOJ charges Donald Trump for his crimes - Glenn Kirschner
Senator Lindsey Graham stated - without equivocation and without condemnation - that if the Department of Justice indicts Donald Trump for his crimes there "will be riots in the street."
Graham's proclamation is reminiscent of Donald Trump saying, "come to DC on January 6, will be wild." These statements by Trump and Graham sound less like warnings and more like recruitment calls.
Why is Graham saying and doing everything he can to try to keep Trump from being held accountable for his crimes? Perhaps because Graham is also at risk of being held accountable for assisting Trump in his efforts to steal the 2020 presidential election. As the Washington post reported, Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that Lindsey Graham "urged him to toss out lawfully cast ballots." So it stands to reason that if Trump goes down for his crimes, that increases the likelihood that Graham will be dragged down with him. - 08/30/2022.

I can't imagine, but it's got to be pretty horrific if it caused him to do a complete 180

On his initial remarks condemning TFG - which we keep hearing again - and after the horrible attacks TFG made on Graham's war hero close friend, John McCain.

Lindsey kissing ass because when TDFG goes down, so does Lindsey.

(205,927 posts)8. He hitched his wagon to the wrong Republican "star"
And we certainly know from his initial vehement criticism that he absolutely knew better - what happened???
