Sychophantic South Carolina Republican lawmaker and MAGA lover Lindsey Graham had what I would absolutely describe as a deeply visceral, absolutely outrageous response to the news that his Dear Leader Donald Trump has officially been criminally charged.
Recently, the bombshell news we have all been waiting for finally broke, after the Manhattan grand jury officially voted in favor of formally indicting former United States President Donald J. Trump on criminal charges related to the infamous Stormy Daniels hush money payments.
The work and subsequent decision by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, his investigators and prosecutors, and the grand jury made history in this nation this week, serving as the very first time in the history of the United States that a sitting or former US president has ever been charged with a crime.
Lindsey Graham did NOT handle it well.
Taking to his Twitter in the aftermath of the Manhattan grand jury’s historical decision, Graham posed the rhetorical question, “How can President Trump avoid prosecution in New York?”

The senator quickly answered himself in a follow-up tweet, writing, “On the way to the DA’s office on Tuesday, Trump should smash some windows, rob a few shops and punch a cop. He would be released IMMEDIATELY!”

Graham appeared to be taking a not-so-thinly veiled jab at BLM protesters, wrongfully implying that they got away with vandalism and assault during the Floyd riots:
How do you know if you’re a liberal?
You don’t understand the irony of my tweet regarding Trump’s visit to New York.

But Lindsey’s obnoxious response didn’t stop with his insane tweets. The GOP lawmaker was quick to run to the safe and comforting arms of Fox News where he made a red-eyed, emotional appearance to rage against the indictment and beg for some donations to the big guy.
“They’re trying to destroy Donald Trump because they fear him at the ballot box,” Graham cried on Fox. “To the conservatives out there, make sure you vote if you got friends, make sure they vote. If you don’t have any friends, go make some friends but you need to help this man, Donald J. Trump. They’re trying to drain him dry; he’s spent more money on lawyers than most spend on campaigns. They’re trying to bleed him dry. Donaldjtrump.com — go tonight, give the president some money to fight this bulls–t.”
That clip almost immediately made its way to MSNBC where Morning Joe host, Joe Scarborough, aired Graham’s meltdown on his show and proceeded to brutally mock and ridicule the ridiculous Republican lawmaker.
“I was going to say, Lindsey Graham was dispatched to do that, but they don’t even have to get the order anymore — they know the job. It’s to run out on tv and raise money, we go back to this again,” Scarborough said, laughing.
“You know, I always talk about the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker approach to politics scamming people like my grandmother out of their social security checks, $25 here, $50 there,” he added.
“I’ve got to say, that Lindsey Graham moment? He’s tearing up,” the MSNBC host continued to laugh. “Lindsey knows what a bad man Donald Trump is. Lindsey is the one who said, ‘if we make him our nominee, he’ll destroy the Republican party and we deserve it.'”
“Lindsey almost crying there — that reminded me of Oral Roberts climbing up into his tower in the ’80s, saying, ‘Give me $3 million or I’m not coming down from this tower,'” igniting laughter from the entire panel.
Graham’s hissy fit was so bad, in fact, that it even prompted a former Republican Party advisor to weigh in:
I mean Lindsey Graham! I mean get off the sauce, Lindsey! Enough that he’s such a parasite, it’s embarrassing and he is also revealing what Republicans are willing to do in order to keep favor with Trump.”
Seriously, Lindsey. This is just sad, at this point.
