Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on Sean Hannity’s show Monday night. The exchange was revealing since the South Carolina Republican displayed that he will be a biased juror in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial that starts today. We haven’t even heard the evidence that’s to be presented yet, and Graham has made up his mind. Hey, Trump’s boots don’t lick themselves.
Hannity and Graham sure don’t seem like they want any witnesses called. The Fox News host said he wants to see Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, and Eric Holder called to testify if the House seeks to have witnesses testify. Lindsey somehow agreed with that interesting list of names. Graham said of the impeachment hearing over the violent insurrection that Trump incited: “I have to listen to this crap.”

Twitter users piled in:
Great! We need more people to say, under oath, that terrorists sent by Trump were trying to kill them.
Good lawyering, Lindsey!

Haha! Is that supposed to be a scary threat or something? It seems that the truth and facts are only scary for some people. https://t.co/sNgSt16Vmk

Calling what happened to our country and people dying during a coup “crap” wow @LindseyGrahamSC that is shameful. So you think it’s crap that an officer died defending you?? https://t.co/WK0fSmGQdo

Beyond naming “unique” witnesses, the @LindseyGrahamSC phrase that struck me was “I gotta sit there and listen to all this crap.” Guess jury duty doesn’t strike him as important, nor does the oath he took to weigh evidence. https://t.co/wHePNoWmnR

We’re not sure how Cory Booker’s name got thrown in there. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is an interesting choice since Trump supporters wanted to kill her while hunting down our elected officials to overturn the election.
