Lindsey Graham Went After Hunter Biden On Twitter, Rep Eric Swalwell Responded By Taking Down Ivanka

The hypocrisy smells like mint juleps.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has had himself a rough few weeks. Considering this is the same guy who spent months publicly and vocally denouncing Donald Trump during his 2016 run for president and has now managed, for whatever reason, to turn himself into one of the biggest MAGA sycophants of them all, it’s not surprising that Graham has found himself faced with some of his past comments on more than one occasion.

Several times, Graham has been confronted with evidence of his past remarks regarding Donald Trump as well as comments he made during the impeachment process of former POTUS Bill Clinton.

And just when it seemed like all of that history of his was finally beginning to calm down, Graham decided to open (another!) investigation into the Bidens (as if the whole GOP isn’t already in enough trouble over that shit) only to be figuratively smacked in the face with yet another example of his blatant hypocrisy — when video footage of Graham nearly crying with admiration for Joe Biden went viral.

Since then, Graham has done his best to cover his behind with Fox News interviews and desperate tweets.

The Senator found himself confronted over the footage yet again here recently by Fox’s Brian Kilmeade and Lindsey quickly took off on a tangent about how it wasn’t personal and threw in some random stuff about the late Senator John McCain.

But he couldn’t simply leave well enough alone after the embarrassing radio show appearance this morning. It seems Graham has been taking some tips from Donald himself and thought it’d be a good idea to follow his interview up with a tweet.

Spoiler alert: It was not a good idea.

“I love Joe Biden as a person but we are not going to give a pass to what is obviously a conflict of interest. I believe Hunter Biden’s association on the Burisma board doesn’t pass the smell test. If a Republican was in the same position, they’d certainly be investigated!” Graham wrote on Twitter this morning in a last-ditch attempt to save face and get a dig in at the Bidens simultaneously.

But Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell wasn’t about to let Graham get away with his sanctimony and quickly swooped in with a response that deserves all the gold stickers.

“Like a Republican president giving his unqualified child a @WhiteHouse job while she’s trademarking her name in China? You mean a Republican like that?” Swalwell shot back at the Senator on Twitter.

Ouch. It must really suck to be busted like that.

I know Graham really wants to be just like Daddy Donald when he grows up. But has no one ever told him that it doesn’t work out well for Trump when he posts nonsense on Twitter either?
