Lindsey Graham branded as the perfect symbol of Republican stupidity in conservative's brutal column

TANA GANEVA - COMMENTARY
20 FEB 2019 AT 10:44 ET

In a Washington Post column Wednesday, conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin calls out Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham for facilitating the worst excesses of the Trump White House.

Rubin writes that Graham “epitomizes the Republican Party’s descent into intellectual rot.” She notes that Graham denounced Donald Trump as “the most flawed nominee in the history of the Republican Party.”

Now, Rubin points out, he’s one of the most craven Trump apologists, going so far as to insist that Congress conduct an investigation into what appears to be a perfectly legal probe into Trump started by former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe.

Graham’s most unforgivable capitulation, Rubin says, is on immigration. “Once a member of the Gang of Eight’s comprehensive immigration reform, he now supports Trump’s fear-mongering on the border and even his unprecedented power grab, a declaration of a “national emergency,'” Rubin notes.

Somebody has compromising info about the genteel "Southern Gentleman" from South Carolina that likely confirms what many have suspected about him for a very long time. He's a liar, he's a hypocrite, he's corrupt.

Graham will turn on Trump in a flash if it's in his self-interest to do so.

I'd put him in the Yes column on Impeachment Conviction, but only when the tide has safely turned. He's has no convictions or loyalties except to his survival as Senator.
