Trump calls publicity seeking Lindsey Graham a liar

Source: Axios

Trump criticized Lindsey Graham this morning, calling his statement on Trump's response to the Charlottesville violence a "disgusting lie," and reminding Graham about his election loss. (snip)

Lindsey Graham's comment: "President Trump took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency between the white supremacist neo-Nazis and KKK members who attended the Charlottesville rally and people like Ms. Heyer"

Way to go tRUMP, in getting any legislation passed...or anything else for that matter...

Worst president ever and probably one of top ten worst persons ever to grace the American political scene...

Pathetic, as usual.

Seems as though they scrape the very bottom of the barrel, then promote them into office. Too bad there are NO INTELLIGENT members in the gop. They take a pledge, it seems "Show Me The Money" has to be their rallying cry. They proved with their obstruction of all that President Obama tried to do, that the welfare of the USA is far down on their lists. They now have the most disgusting, repulsive, ugly, money grubbing cretin (along with his family) screwing taxpayers -royally. tRump has no idea what the job entails, so he brings his just as clueless family on board to help!! Supposedly, now that Jared and Ivanka are back from vacation, all will be well. Yeah, right!!

They claim, ad nauseum, that "government is BAD!"

Then get elected and prove it...

But the Pumpkin Headed Imbecile (tm) brings their party to an impossible new low.

republicans continue to allow russia to perpetrate ACTS OF WAR* on the USA - our nuclear facilities, our power grid, and our democratic elections. Freaking heinous TreasonWeasels.

* according to all 17 US Intelligence Agences and dick freaking cheney, for crying out loud.

I'd rather see him in handcuffs, since he is openly trying to influence/obstruct justice, after the fact...

I'd think that if Pence pardons him, this would cause a ruckus like no other seen in this country...

And the headline from Raw story--very unflattering pic (which is fine with me)


‘Such a disgusting lie’: Trump bullies Lindsey Graham for not backing his Charlottesville excuses

President Donald Trump on Thursday started his morning by lashing out at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for criticizing his response to last weekend’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.


“Publicity seeking Lindsey Graham falsely stated that I said there is moral equivalency between the KKK, neo-Nazis & white supremacists and people like Ms. Heyer,” the president wrote. “Such a disgusting lie. He just can’t forget his election trouncing.The people of South Carolina will remember!”



Graham on Wednesday released a statement that criticized Trump for dividing Americans at a time when the president should be pushing for national unity.


“Mr. President, I encourage you to try to bring us together as a nation after this horrific event in Charlottesville,” Graham said. “Your words are dividing Americans, not healing them.”

Graham also said it was not appropriate for Trump to draw a moral equivalency between white nationalist protesters and counter demonstrators who were speaking out against them.................................................

As I recall,
Graham did a funny video where he then put his phone in a blender.

He's picked fights with all of them this past week.

I predict Articles of Impeachment will be drawn shortly after Congress reconvenes. Ryan and McConnell will work out a way. They probably hate Trump as much as any Democrats - and Pence will sign all the same awful legislation that Traitor Trump would.

I'm sure McCain (who saved us from Trump Care) is going to make this the priority of his last days on Earth - saving his country from this treasonous dictator (or just plain dick!!)
