Lindsey Graham: "'m going to take a DNA test. I've been told that my grandmother is part Cherokee."

1. I don't think anything actually happened to Lindsey Graham.

I think he has always been the despicable person we now see, he was just waiting for a time when he could be himself.

What a creep.

[Miles Archer]

3. He lost his moral compass, McCain

NONE of this happened while McCain was alive. We knew who and what Graham was, but he somehow felt "liberated" after McCain's passing and just went out there unfiltered. He's an ongoing embarassment.

[olegramps]

12. If it is proved true, he will only be an insult to their heritage.

They are a lot of native Americans who like to bury their tomahawks in some Republicans.

[jberryhill]

26. The only tribal members in Congress are Trump humping Republicans

[YessirAtsaFact]

2. Does he have a staff member in charge of finding new ways to be an asshole?

He certainly comes up with them regularly

[Scarsdale]

20. Nah. He seems

to have a natural talent for it. How much do taxpayers pay these useless flotsam to "represent" us? Easy to see what tRump saw in Graham, two of a kind. Love to go after females, denigrate them.

[malthaussen]

4. Good. I want to see him freak out...

... when he's not as "white" as he thinks he is.

[Iliyah]

5. Petty.

kindergarden mentally.

[Scarsdale]

6. Creepy LITTLE guy.

When is he up for election again? Time to retire him, with his tRump arse kissing ways. Why is he given so much airtime?

[liberalmuse]

7. He's a parasite.

His old host died and now he’s slithering around in his new host's bowels.

[llmart]

8. I'd wager a bet...

that his family's roots probably would show they were some of the people who stole land from the Cherokees for their own.

[getagrip_already]

9. this happens to some people as they get older...

Seriously. Over time, people lose the ability to filter what they say. There is some change in brain chemistry that must cause it. I've seen it in my parent's generation.

They just blurt out hateful things they never would have said 10 years earlier. Now I'm sure they thought them, but they never said them. Later in life, they just say it like its a matter of fact and it is perfectly ok to say.

It isn't. But it is a part of senility. Nobody at that stage should be in elected office. We seem to have one party full of them.

[WePurrsevere]

17. Possibly a part of senility but there's also a certain...

'I just don't give a damn what people think of me anymore' that often comes when you hit a certain time of your life. For some that's early on, for some it's middle age, for some it's when they retire, and for some it's a life event that rips off their filter.

With Graham it could be a mix.

[blue-wave]

10. Damn

This guy is and has always been one little weasely creep.

[njhoneybadger]

11. How about taking a Lie detector test to see if your being blackmailed

[CentralMass]

13. They are losing on of their biggest assholes Orin Hatch. Graham has to pick up the mantle.

[Maine-i-acs]

14. See if there's a Y chromosome in there anywhere

Sorry for the cheap shot but he brings it out in me

[Paladin]

18. Thread winner, cheap shot or not. (nt)

[Freethinker65]

15. Will Lindsey's family back up this claim like Warren's family has??

Warren's family was from Oklahoma, and moved there very early during it's statehood. Everyone on her mother's side of the family was told the same thing.

[pazzyanne]

19. The same happened in my family.

Ancestors moved to Oklahoma-southern Kansas. My grandfather told stories about his family for years that included Native American heritage. My brother took a DNA test that supports his stories about early family history. Not so sure Lindsay's will though.

[George II]

16. Does he think that's funny? He should get a colonoscopy, I hear he's part asshole.

[whathehell]

30. LOL

Good one!

[Texin]

21. What the fuck has gotten into this little shit?

Seriously, who is he competing with in his race for the sewer? And what's his point anyway? It's likely he does have Cherokee or some other native American blood in him, especially if this was something that he was told by a family member. Is he trying to say that claims to ancestry are a big joke? I just don't get it, or is it just a particular dig at Warren?

My mother told us when we were kids that both her mother and father had native American Indian in their family trees. Both families migrated from Alabama to Texas sometime in the 1840s. My grandmother's family on her mother's side were originally from Tennessee. I believe a lot of the Trail of Tears which uprooted so many native Americans was initiated by Jackson during his presidency, and I think the migration involved not only those people displaced from Florida, but also Alabama, and a great many of them migrated into East Texas (where my mother was born) and up into Oklahoma, Arkansas and northward (and that doesn't even begin to touch the fact that native Americans lived throughout the entire country to begin with!). My maternal grandfather and all his adult boys had hair the color of a raven's wing, as did my mother. I'm not saying that this is a signifier of any particular ancestry, but it is a bit unusual in that most of the rest of their families on both sides traced their roots from England and Scotland. Anyway, we've never had any kind of testing like Warren did, but I wouldn't be surprised at all that it turned up DNA to back up my mother's attestation that there was native American Indian in my mother's lineage.

[B Stieg]

22. Is there a way to test for "lost humanity?" (nt)

[Racerdog1]

23. One thing a DNA test would show.

Aunt Lindsey is 100% asshole.

[ck4829]

25. +1

[MontanaMama]

33. Aw dammit

You beat me to it.

[ck4829]

24. Oh really

[SWBTATTReg]

27. And this is what a senator has to say, w/ all of the other issues on the table that need to be ...

addressed and he has to spend valuable time on Warren's dna tests? I don't know if the commentator brought the issue up and he's responding to it (oh wait, it's fox news, figures)...there are a heck of a lot more important issues than this one regarding Warren's dna test. And besides, who really gives a hoot? rump is bringing this up as an issue when again, there are a lot more things to talk about than this. rump is worthless.

[Hassler]

28. The test Graham should take is the one that tells us what invertebrate he is descended from.

[tymorial]

31. The correct answer is leeches

He is firmly attached to trumps ass.

[tymorial]

29. His boot looking for attorney general isnt obvious at all.

[Srkdqltr]

32. I think he should

He should take the DNA test. I have seen that men of a certin age have to announce what they are doing before they do it. Just DO IT Lindsey .. let us know the results. Would be interesting,

[duforsure]

34. Who knows LG

Maybe a little Russian blood too?

[sfwriter]

35. He should...

I’m pretty sure his dna would surprise him

[OnDoutside]

36. More like part snake.
