  1. So rein them in, Damn it!!! They have too much power and break laws constantly. Zuckerbucks were used to help Biden get into White House. His wife knew what she was doing and I will never forgive Zuckerberg for it. I never get on Facebook anymore!

  2. He’s got poop on his upper lip

  3. What do you have on your hands?

  4. I might listen to these words but when they come out of that lying hypocrite mouth I’m just …meh. doesn’t matter if what he says is true or not. His words have zero meaning either way.

  5. Funny coming from a guy who's in the pocket of the NRA. Guy won't say the same thing about guns.

  6. I twiddled my fingers at this guy and then he took his microphone off and walked off screen.

  7. Listening to Lindsay Graham is a waste of time. He stands for nothing, he has no integrity, and he has no honor. Nothing he says can be depended on or relied on – and there's too many Lindsay's in congress.

  8. Credibility gone a long time ago 😮 fu Lindsey

  9. MISS LINDSEY WERE ARE YOUR LITTLE BOYS FROM YOUR TOBACCO FIELDS? HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY THEM TO KEEP SILENT. ARE THEY ALL RICH NOW? DO THEY STILL BEND OVER OVER OVER

  10. Not as much as you do Lynette…

  11. Politicians have even more blood on their hands – much much more.

  12. YoU have too. Devis spawn. You cant hide

  13. Another Boomer that needs to retire.

  14. I don’t like this guy, but what he is saying is fact. Tik tok, insta and Fb are killing people. They are the devil in sheeps clothing. I think it just take a moraly currupt person to spot it.

  15. Lindsey and the gang are stepping on each other in their haste to trod heavily on the companies who, for better or worse, spread the news that politicians would rather the voters not know.

    But "blood on their hands" is quite a reach when you realize how many corporate internationals – companies that freely use grossly underpaid workers in third-world nations, who wholeheartedly support child labor here in America, who enthusiastically encourage people across the nation and around the world to kill each other with weapons some of those same companies sell …

  16. I have a clock that needs a new battery but at least its right twice a day.

  17. Does this mean the senator is going to put an end to the misinformation that conservatives use to justify their hatred and bigotry.

  18. Talk about blood on your hands look at your hands but that's just the system blame it in the system just like the guns the cigarettes the oil companies the chemical companies etc etc that's just capitalism at its best profit before the human

  19. Nice to see him taking a break from beating the Iran war drum.

  20. Am I tripping or this dude is really speak out the scripts, I thought this is about stopping child traffic and cyber attacks, but he is talking about how facebook and TikTok is exposing genocide in Gaza and they not happy about it.
    They not happy about the fact that people are seeing the truth, I give my 🖕 to this dude any day, he is the bigger problem himself😢

  21. He's right but Lindsey Graham also has blood on his hands

  22. He is on social media right? Implying there is a safe way to use the product. He can’t have it both ways.

  23. Coming from this guy!! The fucking irony 😂😂. The warmonger.

  24. But yet Lindsey is quick to run to war. What a hypocrite.

  25. Lindsay really hates himself!

  26. Lindsey Graham has blood on his hands. Who is he to be calling someone out for bloody hands. Matter of fact Lindsey is dripping and soaking in blood 🩸

  27. They bring in pornography and violence and then scamming hacking yes they are with blood in hands.

  28. This is totally hypocritical coming from our leading warmonger senator.  "You have blood on your hands …. you have a product which is killing people"  EVERTHING he says is exactly the truth about our Arms Manufacturing Companies – whose products have killed millions of innocents (by design) – and the slaughter continues supported by our Congress

  29. Good, now hold gun manufacturers liable

  30. Lindsey flapping in whatever direction the breez is blowing . Just surprised his head didn't pop when he said "a threat to democracy".
    That said , social media say it's the users who post content so not their fault , but if I had a bar that was at the root of so much social turmoil , the city would pull my licence and shut me down .

  31. Lindsey Graham has a one-way ticket to hell for his career of hypocrisy

  32. Yet this trash pushes guns like crazy. I agree social media is causing a lot of problems, but the only fixes these criminals want to make are to benefit themselves, not the people that need help. X rated Twitter has tonnes of racism, sexism, revenge porn, child porn even. Yet he calls out Zuckerberg. Sure, Facebook has done a lot pf damage, yet he isn't call out the worst of them who also happens to be heavily favoring members of his own party.

    Trash.

  33. Lindsay Graham lies every time he opens his mouth.

  34. Lol… Lindsey. Like, boys named kelly, or a boy named sue. 😂 SO weak

  35. Destroying lives and threatening democracy and blood on his hands is the BOSS OF MAGA MANIAC'S -kinda hypocritical but that's politics
