According to a new book on Donald Trump's unprecedented two impeachments, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) could have helped lead a Republican Party revolt against the former president after the Jan 6 insurrection but changed his mind after being confronted by two MAGA supporters at an airport.
In an excerpt from the book, "UNCHECKED: The Untold Story Behind Congresss Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump, by Rachael Bade and Karoun Demirjian to be published in mid-October, the two journalists wrote about meetings between Graham and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as they battled over going along with Democrats on impeaching Trump for a second time.
As the authors explained, both McConnell and Graham were appalled by the assault on the Capitol that was incited by Trump after a "Stop the Steal' rally with a disgusted McConnell returning later that night where he saw, "the splintered wood in the door to his Capitol suite left by marauders who had tried to break into his office and attack his staff."
Speaking with his staff, McConnell reportedly told them, "Weve all known that Trump is crazy. Im done with him. I will never speak to him again.

(15,297 posts)because all the "legal" shit they tried and their court packing didn't fucking works to keep their golden calf in power.
They would have "aw-shucked" the fucker right back into office if their plan to throw it to the House vote by state has worked.
Mcconnell could give two-shits about "splintered wood" if he could have packed the courts for 4 more years.
