Lindsey Graham says he won't back Mitch McConnell for Senate GOP leader if he doesn't have a 'working relationship' with Trump
insider@insider.com (Cheryl Teh) - Yesterday 11:53 PM
. . .
Sen. Lindsey Graham has hit out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying he will not back McConnell to lead the GOP if the latter does not have a "working relationship" with former President Donald Trump.
Graham spoke to Fox host Sean Hannity on January 12, where he slammed the Senate minority leader for his broken-down relationship with the former president.
"Elections are about the future. If you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship with President Donald Trump," Graham said.
He added that he saw Trump as "the most consequential Republican since Ronald Reagan," though Trump does not currently hold any public office.

(47,399 posts)that Trump and Putin have on Lindsey must be a doozy. His fealty to Trump is absolutely bizarre, the same Trump that he called "a kook, crazy, and unfit for office". I wonder if we'll ever find out what the compromising information is.

Martin Eden
(12,863 posts)Graham is merely showing himself to be a spineless creature without a shred of integrity.
He understands the GQP voting base has fully embraced Trumpism, and to defy that by speaking truth or standing on principle is political suicide in the next primary.

(17,984 posts)John McCain would be ripping little Lindsey to shreds.
His true character came out when he invited Ivanka and Jared to the funeral against both John and family wishes. I can still see him that day when the camera focused in on him. Eyes darting, body tense, I thought why is he so nervous? Then found out what he had done. It fell into place. That alone would have put him on Johns S*** list. I found it hard to believe what a scum bag Lindsey is.

How can there be so many idiots elected to the American Senate, by the dozens??
