Lindsey Graham Doubles Down On 'Riots In The Streets' Warning
"What I tried to do was state the obvious," Graham said, again raising the specter of violence if Trump is prosecuted for taking top secret documents from the White House.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) dug an even deeper hole for himself Saturday after he was roundly slammed for warning earlier that there will be “riots in the streets” if Donald Trump is prosecuted for lifting classified documents from the White House as he left office.

He said “fascist states ... use the state and the law as a tool of their agenda,” and that he is worried about “trust” issues in the U.S., and a “double standard” for law enforcement.

Graham was sharply criticized after he raised the specter of violence for enforcing the law, and indicated that Trump is beyond legal restrictions, in an interview last Sunday with Fox News.

The Washington Post editorial board later called Graham’s remarks a clear threat, adding, “There is no excuse for this irresponsible rhetoric, which not only invites violence but also defies democratic norms.”

President Joe Biden, in a clear swipe at Graham, referred to turning on a television to see “senior senators and congressmen saying, ‘If such and such happens, there’ll be blood in the street.’ Where the hell are we?” Biden asked.

9. Explain how his being or not being gay means a fucking thing. Why do you think that post ...

... got hidden???

[Yonnie3]

11. Shouldn't even need to be pointed out n/t

[marble falls]

13. You said it all, man ...

... haven't run into you for a while, how's life treating you?

[Yonnie3]

15. Life is good

Getting by well. No medical appointments until next year. Knocking on wood!

[marble falls]

20. Sounds like we both got the same ticket, life IS good!

3. "While I'm on the subject, please knock off the "Lindsey Graham is gay/a woman" jokes."

While I'm on the subject, please knock off the "Lindsey Graham is gay/a woman" jokes. Most of you have figured this out by now, and DU Juries actually have a pretty solid track record of removing these posts, but you know what would be even better? If we didn't have to send such bigoted "jokes" to Juries in the first place.

16. This. Thank you for finding and posting that link

This is at least the third time in the last week I've seen the same ol' "Miss Lindsey"/"Lady G" homophobia and transphobia shit. It seems we're back to that again, despite EarlG saying more than once to cut it out.

First of all, absolutely. Such posts are homophobic and transphobic and attack innocent LGBTQ's. I get that Graham is scum - with all due apologies to scum. There are also plenty of other well-deserved derogatory names for this traitor and stochastic terrorists - I'm rather fond of "Leningrad Lindsey" myself.

But the other thing is if being LGBTQ is a club... WE DON'T WANT HIM! When people pull the homophobia/transphobia stuff with him, they're sticking him in with us. We'd rather open the doors to a million locusts than one Lindsey Graham.

21. Alert on it every time, I do. I identify as straight, it bugs me when I read or hear that crap ...

... it has no place here, we do not want this divisive BS here. Not every word is accepted here, but everyone with unity in their hearts is accepted. Everyone.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

22. I do as well

EarlG made it clear nearly a year ago that the homophobic and transphobic slurs on Leningrad Lindsey were no longer tolerated... It did seem like they died down for a while, but over the last week or so, they've started back up, sadly.

Hopefully after enough alerts they'll once again disappear.

4. Please consider editing your post.

We can insult Graham without insulting gay and transgender people at the same time. We're Democrats. We're smarter than this.

[AntivaxHunters]

8. I saw that earlier

and said to myself "am I actually seeing homophobic bigotry on a Liberal message board"?

[marble falls]

10. Do not think that crap gets by. It doesn't.

[AntivaxHunters]

14. Thanks, that's reassuring

[Emile]

5. Schumer needs to censor Lindsey Grahm!

[Paladin]

6. More obvious than ever that trump has incriminating photos. (nt)

7. He May be right about the riots, but

They will be drowned out by the dancing.

[GoCubsGo]

12. Looks like somebody is terrified that the kompromat on him will come out.

All of your threats aren't going to stop that, Lindsey.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

17. Lock him up

The same way they'd lock me up if I took to social media and called for rioting and "blood in the street".

Arrest this goddamned stochastic terrorist. And then deport him back to Russia.

[Sugarcoated]

18. Lindsey proving yet again

that maga Republicans are terrorists

[Dirty Socialist]

19. Double standard

When a liberal riots: “shoot the rioters!”
When a conservative riots :”see what you made us do? It’s your fault!”

[Brainfodder]

23. Sorry Lindsey, your legacy is a big stinky!

Besides, why you trying to be one of the first ones executed, explain yourself!

You warned us not to believe you, and I don't!

EXPLAIN!

As if I don't know: CORRUPTION!

Lindsey Graham, our sad SC senator is another TFG enhanced monster.

DUH!
