  1. He's has the hots for Trump.

  2. it's like going to trial for murder and your defense is other murderers have gotten away with it

  3. June 13th 2023. Hypocrisy went to trial in America.
    Caution, watch the judge.

  4. The man who told capitol police to shoot unarmed protesters and recently called for the military to invade Mexico condemns violence. It's amazing Trump brought Graham into his inner circle and took advice from him.

  5. Once again when asked about trumps crimes he refers to Clinton hunter Biden but makes exceptions for trump

  6. Looks who TALKING. You SOB you said there would Rioting if Trump was Indicted. You should talk SOB.

  7. Wow on camera straight-up lying and being a basically that little white kid that would hit you and then turn and tell the teacher that he got hit, the amount of unprofessionalism oh, I'm not worried about Lindsey Graham I'm worried about the people that elected him may God judge them with the strong hand of judgment because they have none

  8. What calls for violence? Where is the evidence?

  9. we need to look seriously at why people keep voting for Miss Lindsay

  10. Put Trump in prison and let next election be referendum on Biden instead of Trump.

  11. Graham = Rainbow bow of colors. Ya never know what your gonna get. Oh, lies mostly though.

  12. Wah, wah, wah. Graham, stop the whataboutism. Focus on the facts at hand. You know that 45 is lying when he said he could keep them under the Presidential Records Act.
    "Irresponsible" to threaten violence? Really? If it were Democrats calling for violence, there would be a Congressional investigation. The hypocrisy is great in this one, and so is the fear of being primaried.

  13. Is putin paying you well, Mrs Graham?

  14. What it boils down too, is that Trump didn't know any of the rules of being the President, or if he did he broke them for his self gain !!

  15. This man needs to be called and placed under oath and we will see a whole new Graham.
    They fail to drive home including Graham Trump lied to FBI, tried to hide docs, etc… where as Biden and others were not accused of such crimes! Big difference!Trump in a class all by himself for breaking the law assuming the indictments are accurate

  16. GOP don't care about our nation safety trying to protect trump is just wrong people could have been behind trump's action bottom line

  17. Trump is right back doing the same thing asking a bunch of protesters 2 come there and be violent but it's not going to work out like it did last time

  18. He has done it before, you disingenuous liar. Someday we find out the Kompremat he has on you.
    Lindsey Graham is a disgrace.

  19. Listen people: DT is the face of everyone. Don't you see that? His persecution is proof that little people like you stand no chance when you are being unjustly targeted. If they will go after him, they will go after you. Don't be obtuse.

  20. It's not the crime. It's the cover up.

  21. Nuclear documents, Lyndsi is a 🤢

  22. Hmmmm…. Did Agnew or Nixon go to jail or get charged with anything? I think not. I can’t remember what party they were in…..

  23. Does anyone seriously care what Graham cracker has to say anymore?

  24. Hes afraid of the people, if they dont get justice republicans will be hunted down and they will receive a different kind of justice..

  25. He would have gotten the same treatment if he had returned the documents when asked like Joe and Pence did

  26. Seems like Trump planned to sell those documents to our enemies for billions and Lindsey Graham was in on it.

  27. The GOP failed on January 6 but they continue to stir up violence

  28. C'mon gutless coward Lindsey is forever trying to get violence going

  29. Graham is a deep state clown, that's why he's given air time on fake news network like this….
    this guy is over in Ukraine creating that conflict and giving them all your money.

  30. Missy Graham is a lying sob, NO ONE did what tRump did, he's not speaking the truth. Facts don't lie. I liked Graham more when Senator McCain was around and keeping him straight.

  31. But these traitors will still vote for him.. there's only one way traitor Trump is going away.. and you all know it.

  32. " No one is above the law " but when a dictatorial ambitious group formed and appearing then the law must depend on them. When they act , no one can escape even an ant . Althought the truth is the truth. At this time, the ethical, conscience, righteous persons must bend head keeping quiet or avoid getting involved, the fawned, feeble, incapable persons will jump in cheering to look for a chance but the truth will repay for therighteous man.

  33. Too late Senator. You should have been taking the big picture into consideration before abdicating your integrity and common sense to a man that has promoted violent behavior.

  34. You are a coward Missy. Grow a backbone

  35. Lindsey he stole documents and you know this he is the only president that is really a crook and he wants people to risk their lives for him

  36. Graham is yet another Republican traitor. And he doesn't get to help create an extremist Party that results in the radicalization of conservative America and then pretend to be bewildered with those consequences. Not holding Trump accountable for his treachery and treason, over and over, and seeking to call the January 6 traitors "heroes," is why conservative America and their foot soldiers behave as they do today.

  37. Lindsey IS the posterchild for #ETTD
    He is the consummate sycophant where tRump is concerned. There is no depth, to which he's unwilling to sink. It would be disgusting if it wasn't so pathetic.

  38. We all know Trump has video of Lindsey with young boys.
