President Joe Biden delivered a heartfelt, fiery speech today in somber recognition of the first anniversary of the infamous, deadly Capitol insurrection, perpetrated by ex-President Donald Trump’s very own supporters, in a last-ditch pathetic effort to halt President Biden’s triumph over the now-former guy.
“Here is the God’s truth about Jan. 6, 2021. Close your eyes, go back to that day, what do you see? Confederate flag that symbolizes the cause to destroy America, to rip us apart. Even during the Civil War that never, ever happened, but it happened here, in 2021,” President Biden said from the Capitol building the morning, before going on to add, “We didn’t see a former president, who had just rallied the mob to attack, sitting in a private dining room off the oval office in the White House, watching it all on television and doing nothing for hours as police were assaulted, lives at risk. The nation’s Capitol under siege.”
Apparently, this got Lindsey Graham’s knickers in a twist, prompting him to take to Twitter with a nasty attack against the President.
“What brazen politicization of January 6 by President Biden,” the South Carolina senator fumed on social media. “I wonder if the Taliban who now rule Afghanistan with al-Qaeda elements present, contrary to President Biden’s beliefs, are allowing this speech to be carried?”

As you’d expect, no one took well to Graham’s nasty tweet.
Blue check Twitter was quick to pile on the Trump sycophantic senator:

Graham last Jan 6: “Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president, but today, first thing you’ll see. All I can say is a count me out. Enough is enough.”

Here was your speech on the Senate floor on January 6th after the Capitol siege, in which you had a starkly different view, Senator… https://t.co/iIzj37moAR https://t.co/4pfRUjO4zD

.@LindseyGrahamSC slams Biden for “politicizing” 1/6. Politicizing? Jan. 6 was all about politics. It was a defeated president trying to retain power with violence—and it has become the story of an entire party supporting a deceitful autocrat. What could be more political? https://t.co/FAGpA70HUj

Average, everyday Americans were equally disgusted with Graham, and they were sure to let him know it:
Oh shut the hell up Graham—boot-licking cowards like you is the reason we’re in this mess. #TrumpCoupAttempt

I want the audio of you squealing for your life from the safe room on Jan 6. Someone must have recorded you…

You are an unpatriotic coward. Nothing more.

It’s such a shame what happened to you. You used to be a person of principles. Didn’t always agree but respected your position. Now you’re simply a hollow sycophant. Trump’s finger puppet. Enjoy the rest of your “career” however long it lasts. @Georgia_AG

Senator McCain is having a talk with the Almighty right now, Lindsey. He’s recommending you head south.
— Reed Galen (@reedgalen) January 6, 2022
So you are outraged over politicization and then go and do the same thing all in one tweet. Disgusting fraud.
— Tim Hannan (@TimHannan) January 6, 2022
Enjoy what’s left of your career, Graham. You’re ruining it right before our eyes.
