Graham defends 'riots in the streets' comment, says he tried to 'state the obvious'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday defended his recent warning of “riots in the streets” if former President Trump is prosecuted for his handling of classified materials.

“What I tried to do was state the obvious,” Graham told CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick during an interview at the Ambrosetti Forum in Italy.

“Here’s what I said: The raid on President Trump’s home, the likely nominee for 2024, better bear some fruit here,” Graham continued. “If it’s just about mishandling classified information, we’ve had a standard set when it came to Hillary Clinton.”

Federal agents executed a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence on Aug. 8, when they recovered some 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records.

The obvious is you're a groveling worm of a human being Lindsey.

1. Graham, a sickening sick person. n/t

2. So did Steve Sedgwick ask any follow up questions?

3. Stating the obvious, Lindsey....

you are giving credence to an idea inviting lawlessness. Are you going to be leading the charge?

4. Piss-ant Lindsey.

Always has been, always will be.

Piss-ant.

5. For God's sake Lindsey, you are a lawyer. Grow a backbone.

I may not have agreed with you much, but I used to respect you. No more.

6. I guess it would be wrong to wish for one teeny tiny little blood clot. Right? nt

7. It is really sad to see such fear in a grown man. Lindsey should just make public

whatever it is TDFG is blackmailing him with. I would respect that (as long as it doesn't involve murder or minors).

8. Not to mention,

what he said here in this article is NOT what he originally said at all! Liar!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. We're coming for you Lindsey, with law. Sleep well.

[tavernier]

10. Lindsey is scared.

Not of riots in the streets but of whatever it is that rump is holding over his head. DJT’s biggest talent is finding out people’s secrets and then gathering evidence that he can use to trap them. His own people verify that and even this raid was found to have “information” on other leaders .
Lindsey has constituents and a family, and I surmise that he wants some skeletons to remain in his closet, and I think it’s something other than the gay thing.

11. Ms. Lindsay is the "World's Worst Person"

[DFW]

12. Don't get me started on stating the obvous about Lindsey Graham

I have better things to do with the rest of my evening than waste a few hours posting about him.

13. What's obvious is that he committed an appeal to consequences fallacy nt
