Graham’s Criticism of Trump’s Performance
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) criticized Donald Trump following the September 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Graham, a long-time supporter of Trump, described the debate as a “missed opportunity” for the former president to defend his administration’s achievements.
Graham made the comments while talking to reporters in the post-debate spin room, recalling the moment that Trump failed to answer well to Vice President Kamala Harris’ accusation that she had “inherited a mess.”
This isn’t the first time that Graham has made comments like this. Less than two weeks ago, Graham told ABC News that he believed President Trump must “focus on the issues” to win the election in November.
“She said, ‘We inherited a mess,’” Graham told reporters. “I was yelling and screaming, ‘No you didn’t — you inherited low gas prices, a secure border, a vaccine for Covid, you inherited the biggest Mideast change of my lifetime, the Abraham Accords, and now everything is to shit.’”
Graham also told Trump to “tighten up” before the next debate – if that debate happens.
If excorable Lindsay Graham wants to have “missed opportunities” as a topic of conversation, he needs to reminded of what he said to Americans after the confirmation hearings for Justice Kavanaugh. Equally vile, and also a parade of orchestrated lies with Kamala Harris in the center of them.
At the close of the hearings, Graham told Americans – while warning his Democrat friends on the committee “I’m going to get to the bottom of this”.
Well, it’s been about six years now, and Lindsay Graham hasn’t said a word about whether Democrat leaders ochestrated the perjury, etc.
Nothing to see here Lindsay? You were wrong, sorry ’bout that?
What’s worse than these feckless calculating politicians is that we the voters who they depend upon to retain their sinecure in Washington let them get away with it.
I agree with Sen Graham. We’ve seen Trump do far better and we’ve also seen Harris do far worse…
Lindsey Graham is a dope! Is he ever sober?
Lindsey Graham is a dope. Is he ever sober?
Why is Lindsey Ghramnesty in the spin room? Nobody cares and he doesn’t support the cause. When are the people of SC going to help the country and vote him out?
Lindsey Graham is a RINO war-monger Neocon s-bag.
Bottom line: Trump can’t help himself from attacking Harris…but his policies are vastly superor to everything Harris. Hold your nose and vote Trump.
Somebody vote Lindsey Grahamnesty out, please. He has been in office for decades. Can you name 5 of his major accomplishments?
There haven’t been any since John McCain died.
I would expect nothing less from the rino. He continually flip flops on all issues depending on who he is speaking with.
