MSNBC Pundit Speaks For ALL Of Us When She Rips Lindsey Graham
MSNBC commentator Cynthia Alksne ripped Senator Lindsey Graham a new one over his blatant hypocrisy and toadying to Trump.
By Aliza Worthington
Video @ link~


MSNBC is beginning to look like the network with zero f*cks left to give, and I am here for it. Yesterday Katy Tur gave nearly seven minutes to a Black farmer to pull Trump's intestines out through his nose over the shutdown and tariffs. Today they have commentator Cynthia Alksne on Senator Lindsey Graham's opening remarks for the confirmation hearings of William Barr for Attorney General.

"And I have to tell you, Lindsey Graham opening this hearing, going after these agents, you know, this is a guy who apparently no longer has any commitment to the truth at all. He's Mr. Trump. And during the campaign he called him a race-baiting, xenophobic bigot. He called him a kook. He said he was the world's biggest jack-ass. And now he calls OTHER people liars. I have no tolerance for him at all. He lies with impunity. I'm sick of him.


LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, CYNTHIA!!!

Seriously, we didn't think he could top his disgusting performance in the Kavanaugh hearings, but if this didn't do it, it sure came close.

I am thankful she’s on our side. She’s having none of this. When I hear she’s scheduled on MSNBC, I pay attention.

Graham did a 180 from being outspokenly contemptuous of Trump to having his lips firmly puckered on Trump's pasty ass. Whatever it is, it's salacious and/or illegal, and Trump's leaking it would end Graham's career in a heartbeat. There is no other rational explanation.

There's another thread around here about which republicans have been given $$ by the Russians & friends of russia, by private companies. Graham is severely compromised, and it's probably making him paranoid as hell.
