Lindsey Graham: Charleston Shooter May Have Been ‘Looking for Christians to Kill’ [View all]
Source: Mediaite
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) just happened to be scheduled to appear on The View Thursday morning. But because of the deadly mass shooting at a black church in his home state last night, he did not get the chance to talk much about his presidential campaign.
Instead, Graham joined the hosts to talk about the possible motives of the shooter, who left nine people dead including the church’s pastor and former state senator Clementa C. Pinckney.
Graham wanted to assure viewers that this act is not a “window into the soul” of South Carolina. “It’s not who we are, it’s not who our country is, it’s about this guy,” he said of the assailant, “and this guy’s got tons of problems and to kill people in a church after sitting with them for an hour shows you tells you how whacked out this kid is.”
But despite the fact that the Justice Department has labeled the attack a “hate crime,” Graham was not willing to go that far. “There are real people who are organized out there to kill people in religion and based on race, this guy’s just whacked out,” he said. “But it’s 2015. There are people out there looking for Christians to kill them.”

Covering and doing spin for the motives of an apartheid-supporting, white supremacist murderer. Utterly shameless.
Somewhere in hell, Graham's racist Senate predecessor, Strom Thurmond, is attempting a smile.
If we had a media worth a damn, not only would Graham be disqualified for any consideration for the GOP nomination, he would be hammered and grilled with questions on these remarks the next time he gets invited to his weekly Sunday show tea time with Chuck Todd and George Snuffleuffagus.
