How else to explain him? Lindsey Graham has raised hypocrisy to an art form.
It's true that most Republicans worry about getting reelected. But the video of Graham enthusiastically supporting Bill Clinton's impeachment belie his ignoring the Mueller report, declaring that the whole thing is over, and defending Trump at all costs.
We know that most Republican politicians have no sense of duty, honor, or truth. But they usually try to hide it a bit more than Graham. Why is Graham so willing to publicly make a fool of himself?

if it is a Republican, wouldn't it be a red dress (same stain though)?

(4,291 posts)Graham's Panda Ring!
He believes that the MAGAts in South Carolina would vote him out if he doesn't kiss Demented Donny's ass.
Publicly.
Unabashedly.
So, he panders to them. Every chance he gets. In the 2018 mid-terms, five of the seven RepubliCON candidates for the House were (re-)elected in that state. The Democrats gained only one seat. The Blue Wave had very little impact in SC, and Graham knows it.

(23,271 posts)Or has Putin cut him in for a slice of the action? Besides McTurdle, nobody else in the Senate seems to be making such major fools of themselves. But these two are soiling their undies daily for tRump and unless there are major dollars/rubles in it for them, I can't figure out why. I'd like to ask them both what the dollar exchange rate for rubles today is.

(1,336 posts)Not saying it couldn't be something "salacious" having to do with Graham's sexual proclivities, but isn't it more likely that he's beholden to Trump, perhaps via Russian laundered money? Remember that golfing weekend?

(2,065 posts)Talk about a blue dress - he could very well be a closet gay - and that wouldn't go over very well with his conservative Republican voters and constituents.

Someone has something on Graham and it is a doozy. He did an about face on Trump so fast and so completely, it would make your head spin. What a truly sucky legacy he is going to leave.
