Lindsey Graham has idiotic profane meltdown after he doesn’t get his way

Lindsey Graham became a household name by being that moderate Republican senator who went from NeverTrumper to Donald Trumpโs cartoonish lackey almost overnight – leading many to think that he was being blackmailed. Itโs more likely that he just saw full Republican control and got the signal that the former guy was onboard with most of the stuff he wanted to do and he saw his window to act and help push it all through – which didnโt quite work. Thatโs something that he inadvertently proved on Friday when he went to cry to Politico about President Bidenโs latest win on infrastructure.
Graham called the latest bipartisan agreement, in which President Biden and fellow Democrats get just about everything they asked for, โextortionโ and then went on to claim Republicans didnโt know what they were signing – with the angry rebuke that they look like โfucking idiotsโ now. It seems like just an amusing story on the surface – as just the latest tantrum that Graham has thrown over the past three years and just a staple of his character, but it also gives something else away thatโs important – the GOP has no backup plan and they know that the average voter can see this too, unlike when they claimed to have a better alternative to Obamacare that they never showed anyone for almost a decade, when it was revealed as being much worse.
This is how we know weโre winning – and it also shows how powerless the other side is, since Graham wasnโt a whole lot different even when the GOP had the trifecta of power. Theyโre the party of no, as theyโve always been, but now that image doesnโt look so good. Letโs grow our numbers in Congress in 2022 and keep them out of power.
