That's who he's been since I can remember. He never DOES anything that backs up his rhetoric.

That's EXACTLY who you are in the Trump administration, Lindsey!

Insult veterans of all stripes, people of color, women, gays ..... that's exactly who you are. Where have you been?

You apologize when you have done something wrong to someone else. When has Donnie Two Scoops ever admitted to doing something wrong? By extension, those who work for him have the same attitude. We're still waiting for John Kelly's apology to Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. He says he stands by his original statement, despite videotape evidence that shows he's a liar.

Shit rolls downhill from the top. Trump has begun to hint that it's not his voice on the Access Hollywood tape, even though he admitted it during his televised apology.

"It's [a] pretty disgusting thing to say,” Graham said. “If it was a joke, it was a terrible joke. I just wish somebody from the White House would tell the country that was inappropriate, that's not who we are in the Trump administration.

Wait, what? That's exactly who they are in the Trump administration! Callousness and insensitivity define the Trump administration. For them it's not a bug, it's a feature. It's what gets their knuckledragging base excited. They love that shit.

"Graham told CBS News that while he will let Trump decide whether or not to apologize, he thinks “most Americans would like to see the Trump administration do better in situations like this."

Actually, Lindsey, in case you haven't noticed, most benighted Americans who voted for Trump would like to see the Trump administration keep on being insulting and foul in situations like this. Now go play another round of golf with Fatso, although I can't imagine how you can even putt with your lips affixed to his massive ass.

if it is someone Lindsey Graham is personal friends with?

How about an apology from his party to the millions of people, good people who are heroes to those in their own day to day lives , who are now threatened, suffering, scared to literal death about what an ogre twisted narcissist sociopath Cretin is doing to destroy the country, the safety and the lives of every citizen every hour of every day? And doing it with his party’s support and in many cases, unbridled glee.

McCain served his country with honor amid horrid circumstances.
He deserves that respect.
I do not agree with his politics.

But the entire Republican Party is tainted with the stain of their crass anti-humanity agenda. They should all be apologizing for the rest of their (hopefully shortened) political existence.

Decent Republicans especially in the Senate should send a message and start jumping over to the Democrats side against them, while they can. Unless they think everything they're doing with putin and attacking others is acceptable. This is unamerican .
