MSNBC anchor speculates Trump has something 'pretty extreme' on Graham

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle speculated without offering evidence Tuesday that President Trump has "something pretty extreme" on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

Ruhle made the remark on MSNBC's "Velshi & Ruhle" on Tuesday morning while interviewing former GOP congressman David Jolly (I-Fla.), who left the Republican Party in 2018.

"Before Don got elected, Lindsey Graham called Donald Trump a racist, xenophobic bigot. Those are Lindsey Graham's words," Jolly said.

"I doubt Lindsey Graham could tell you Donald Trump has had a change of heart in the last 24 months, I bet the change of heart has been with Lindsey Graham, not the president," he said.

1. She didn't "speculate without evidence" ... The article itself suggests the evidence

a 180 degree spin from calling Trump a racist, xenophobic bigot to not only being his biggest defender but a vicious attack dog on his behalf is pretty strong evidence.

2. Money

It’s always the money with repubs.

3. Or . . .

It could be related to ongoing speculation on why there's never been a Mrs. Graham.

Which is a much bigger deal if your an (R).

6. That's what I think it is, but

I've always thought most people, his voters included, already speculate this of him - just as I'm speculating.

I've always figured that most people don't really care why, or whether there is a Mrs. Graham. Yet, maybe, Graham is protecting someone else in his life. If any of this is the case, it is truly sad and awful - for everyone, sans Trump!

10. But everybody knows that Sen Graham is a confirmed bachelor.

I think Vladdy has emails, text messages or video of Sen Graham with an underaged "poolboy"...

[barbiegeek]

15. Yep, Graham has been with Young males. Probably high school interns, pages, scholarship winners

[pecosbob]

4. Someone is pushing rumours that Graham likes little boys

but I think Graham has deep connections to foreign money.

7. Ding, Ding! "but I think Graham has deep connections to foreign money."

The same connections he had a few years ago perhaps, but since Vlad/Mitch gave him the "Nice _________ you have here Senator, sure would be a shame if something happened to it" speech, he has fallen into line.

5. The Repubs in Congress

all act as if they are compromised.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. The N-R-A

gave them russian money and theres probably sexual misdeeds afoot. At this point, he better hope it's just sexual misdeeds.

9. Yes Graham seems extremely distressed. He is constantly on edge and moody.

Something has gone down and he is terrified of being exposed.

[pecosbob]

14. He was laying low until the Kavanaugh hearing when he went full McCarthy suddenly

There was a dramatic shift in the rhetoric and vehemence of his public statements.

[barbiegeek]

16. He has changed since McCain died. Linsey always followed McCain's lead

[FakeNoose]

11. They all called him names before he became the GOP Candidate

I mean, Rubio, Cruz, Rand Paul, even Jeb Bush - they hated him and called him everything in the book. As soon as Trump became the party's candidate, that all stopped. However I do believe Trump must have something on Graham, but I think it's kompromat (or some other intel) he might have gotten from Pootie.

[Hassler]

12. Russian money loves Graham and he doesn't want to get primaried in Dump loving SC

[Strelnikov_]

13. Agree. I think the pending primary is the issue.

Look for a CorFlake or maybe even a full Romney, of epic proportion, once re-election is secured.
