Graham: 'It's pretty embarrassing' when children can't listen to the news

Source: The Hill

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday said it's "pretty embarrassing," when parents have to censor their children from news reports, an apparent reference to stories that President Trump referred to certain nations as "shithole countries" in the Oval Office.

"The discourse right now is pretty low. We are producing some pretty good policy, but those of us in my business need to up their game," Graham told ABC News.

"It's pretty embarrassing when you have to take your children out of the room to report the news," he continued.

Graham, who attended the meeting, has neither confirmed nor denied the reports to the press, but has said he “said my piece directly” to Trump.

The fact that Graham isn't echoing Perdue and Cotton's lies DOES confirm that Trump made those remarks.

She can't stand talking about trump. She feels like there is nothing she can do and everyday there is more bad news. She doesn't want to hear it anymore.

So, sure, some of it is because trump said what he said. But some of it is that she feels like most of us here on the board.

Is the Republican party that's turned into a hate group, and that allows a President to disrespect the office of the President, the country and the American people, and Republicans do nothing, and are afraid to stand up to Trump. that's what is really embarrassing. And they allow a Putin backed treasonous traitor pass anything in our Congress. The next election will also show who will be embarrassed.

Republicans always portray themselves as the goodie party. They are not. They are full of shit and they hate the country.

Now, he wants what, kissing t-rump ass as usual while the country is going to hell. Fuck you!

Or as my mother would say:"Why it is it correct to use the Latin and not the Anglo Saxon?". spoken by an idiot that has no children. Come to think of it I learned new cuss words from children.

Cutting taxes for the rich and corporations, dismantling the ACA, paving the way to force Medicaid recipients to work 20 hours a week, increasing the military budget to ever more obscene amounts, and on and on and on. That is why he couldn't care less that Twitler is a raging racist, or stupid, or narcissistic as long as he keeps letting the repubs pass the legislation the want passed.

Where have you been keeping your testicles? You certainly don't have any judging from your behavior- you do not have the guts to call out the SCROTUS for his offensive speech, so we won't be listening to you any more. And we sure as hell won't be voting for you.

He appears on camera to be done as 45's apologist, now that 45 blew off his daca deal.

Not like I'd put any money on it, but he and McCain may well be sick of it all and pull a full Boehner.

He looks like he's had enough.
