Graham leads resistance to Trump ouster amid fast-moving impeachment
Source: Politico
Graham, who just last week said he had had enough of Trumps bid to overturn the election results after he incited a deadly riot at the Capitol, has been calling around to Republican senators urging them to oppose convicting the president in the Senates expected impeachment trial, according to three people familiar with the effort.
Kevin Bishop, a spokesperson for the South Carolina Republican, confirmed that Graham has been calling on his own, adding, Honestly were way ahead of any request from the White House.
McConnell is taking a markedly different approach. In a letter to Republican senators on Wednesday, the Kentucky Republican did not immediately reject the Houses impeachment of Trump and said he plans to weigh the opposing views during the trial. He also urged his colleagues to keep their powder dry in the runup to the trial.

(23,810 posts)Whatever it is, Lindsey changed his tune 180 degrees after Trump took over in 2017. Something on the golf outing was said or shown to Lindsey that made him Trump's #1 Senate pet. But there are others - Cruz, Rubio - that also did an about face as well.

(51,430 posts)Does he think we weren't paying attention for the last 4 years? He has zero self respect and deserves none as well.
He will be known as the first person, next to Nunez, who blatantly showed their love for their dear leader and the he will be known as the first person who did a 180 again. He is not a person, he is a cockroach.

(6,427 posts)Hes shown repeatedly hes a soulless cretin who puts his own corrupt interests ahead of our country. He needs investigated for his role in coordinating the coup since he was dining with one of Trumps SA before the attack and he has been a faithful cheerleader for the garbage election challenge that was their vile rallying cry. He should be expelled from the peoples Senate as his Confederate predecessors were. He also should be prosecuted for his felonious attempt to tamper with Georgias election results, and lose his law license.

(3,951 posts)...to Republican politicians and PACS, his efforts may fall on deaf ears. In fact, voting to impeach may gain them back the financial support they desperately want.

(1,213 posts)He made it known on that golf trip. Ever since then Lindsey's lips have been firmly embedded in trump's ass. And they will stay there as long as trump is alive.
