Lindsey Graham Accidentally Wrecks Trump While Defending Him: 'He Doesn't Collude With His OWN Gov't [View all]
https://www.mediaite.com/donald-trump/lindsey-graham-accidentally-wrecks-trump-while-defending-him-he-doesnt-collude-with-his-own-government/Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has gone to some extraordinary lengths to run interference for Donald Trump, lengths which now include arguing that Trump couldn’t have colluded with Russia because “He doesn’t collude with his own government.”
On this week’s edition of Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, host Maria Bartiromo asked Graham about being with Trump when Attorney General William Barr‘s memo summarizing Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s report was released.
“What was the president’s mood? Were you guys talking about it?” she asked.
“Well, he was very pleased that everything he’d been saying for two years proved to be right,” Graham said. “If you know President Trump, and I’ve gotten to know him pretty well, there is no way he sat down with the Russians and came up with a plan and followed it.”
Then, Graham added “He doesn’t come up with, you know, he doesn’t collude with his own government. So this whole thing was ridiculous, if you know the president, and it’s proven to be ridiculous.”
