Lindsay Graham is one of the saddest humans in existence. He is truly a combination of the Wizard of Oz characters. He sparkles like Dorothy, is heartless like the Tin man, no spine and brainless like the scare crow, and cowardly like the lion. If only he had conviction to stand up for what is right.

Lindsey Graham is a fucking moron. Pardoning the j6 attackers was an act of sedition.

Hey Lindsey supporting Trump over the last decade sends the wrong signal to democracy.

It's what he said he was going to do. You backed him up at the time, have a sweet of balls and stand behind him now.

Republicans are no longer the party of law enforcement. They are the party that celebrates the killers of law enforcement.

Thing is, Lindsey Graham is good for a sound bitter or two but he always votes for Trump shit and he's remaining in the Senate until 2027, just like Mitch McConnell. It doesn't matter what he says, he's just as hard right as all the rest.

Actually that might be correct. Sending the correct signal - in this case a few thousand amps + volts - to the J6 folks definitely didn't happen.

Is he still alive? Apparently he is not dead, just irrelevant.

“Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently I think was a mistake, because it seems to suggest that’s an OK thing to do,

It doesn't "seem to suggest" the violence was OK. It endorses the violence.

It doesn't send the wrong signal. It sends the exact signal he wanted to send.

Imagine Biden pardoning the BLM protestors?

Republicans would froth with outrage and storm the Capitol...again.

No, it established a de facto militia for Trump that knows they have immunity.

Let us ALL watch and see what he does next... The orange turdlet will surely forgive him, cause he's so Jesus-like... Wait, I am not sure about that Jesus-like part, you know since orange turdlet had a hard time with that episcopal lady... but he does claim to be Jesus like so I am sure he... Uh, wait a minute, you know he would never lie...so... Okay now I'm really confused 🤔
