Lindsey Graham's weakness
“We invited every single Republican senator to join us this morning,” CNN’s Jake Tapper told “State of the Union” viewers Sunday morning. “Every one of them declined or failed to respond.” Instead of facing tough questions about last week’s deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, GOP senators opted to hide in silence or in the comforting arms of conservative media. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) chose the latter, sheltering in the safe space of Fox Business.
In between host Maria Bartiromo’s hard-hitting observations — such as opining that President Trump’s impeachment is actually “a crisis for the Biden administration" — Graham claimed, “If you do not stand up against the impeachment of President Trump after he leaves office, you’re an incredibly weak figure in American history.”
Well, if Graham wants to talk about incredibly weak figures in American history, he only need look in the mirror.
There’s the weakness of his reasoning. “President Trump is trying to heal the nation,” Graham told Bartiromo. “Pursuing impeachment after he leaves the office will further divide the country.” Left unoffered was any explanation how Trump’s words to the rioters — “We love you. You’re very special" — are helping to heal the nation, or how not impeaching will unite the country when Republicans claim that, as Graham told Bartiromo, Biden will usher in “the most aggressive socialized policy effort in the history of the country.”

Trump is trying to heal the nation? You're wrong Lindsey. General Mattis called it right when he said Trump is the only president he's known who tried to divide the country instead of heal it.
