Here is the one hundred thirty-seventh article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is US Senator Lindsey Graham [R-SC]. He is so honored for his vile misogynistic disregard and disrespect he showed towards sexual assault survivors, which he demonstrated to confirm Injustice Pervert Kava-Nazi
[P]anelists on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” ridiculed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for abandoning his dignity to back President Donald Trump.
The South Carolina Republican was particularly outspoken during confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and political analyst Mike Barnicle said Graham’s late friend, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), wouldn’t even recognize him.
“I think what John McCain would say is, ‘Lindsey, who are you? What has happened to you?’” Barnicle said. “Because clearly, I mean, he morphed into Donald Trump, into a Donald Trump supporter, before John McCain was even put in the ground in Annapolis. It is shocking how quickly he switched over to maybe who he really is. We don’t know who he really is.”…

I’ve been following the exploits of Lindsey Poo since October 2009, when he joined the Republican filibuster to prevent protecting LGBT Americans from hate crimes, but this is his his first Parade. Whether or not he is goose-stepping with his Fuhrer, because he wants to be the next AG, he deserves the parade.
RESIST!!
VOTE BLUE!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
With McCain gone, Graham has now morphed into a full-fledged, card-carrying A-Hole who is willing to sell his own soul and prostrate himself before an evil, lying, con-man and serial sexual assaulter just to gain power.
In other words – he’s the perfect metaphor for the entire Rethuglican Party.
It’s not that long ago that I commented that Franklin made Lindsey look like a saint. But, oh boy, Lindsey is catching up to Franklin fast! I still think Franklin is the worse of the two, but it’s no longer by much!
His behavior and words are despicable. I wonder how far he is in the pocket of Russia, but also, what does dt have over him? jw. He’s a showboat for the gop now. ugh!!
Conventional wisdom is that all this is an audition for Jeff Sessions job. It well may be. If so, another case of “Be careful what you wish for – it CAN be worse.”
Lindsey Poo needs to go…

Wanna get revenge on these smug bastards? VOTE! Vote blue no matter who – but come the 2020 elections, vote in the Democrat primaries so we can put some real progressives on the ballots.
Even in the primaries, there’s need to vote for someone even if you don’t completely agree. We had a 3-way primary for Governor. I don’t agree 100% with any of them. In the end I voted for the one who has the best climate credentials (and the Sierra Club endorsement) because if we don’t take care of that, nothing else will matter. He won the primary, and will I hope win the Governorship. I can always push him on education and on redistricting (which NO ONE was talking about – possibly because our districts really are pretty fair.)
I agree with JD. In the primary, Jeff Merkley was not, in my opinion, the most progressive. But when Jeff won the primary, I switched to him and worked for him.
Oh BARF!!! ?
Freya’s right!!!
Drumpfism is a symptom of a very contagious disease to which Republicans like Lindsey Graham are especially susceptible called fascism. Fascist need scapegoats to exist; scapegoats are the only thing that can make them look good, something Graham knos all too well. So, even while they now hold power over all three branches of government, something that was never supposed to happen, they still need to point out the ‘enemy’ to their followers to make them look like heroes.
Stop this disease from spreading. Inoculate yourself with a good dose of progressiveness and get rid of all Republicans in office. There’s nothing else for it. If not now, it may never happen again.
He is a poster boy for white, elitist, misogynistic a-holes that goes way back to the pre-civil war days! His state holds the dubious distinction of killing more women, per year, than any other!
I never trusted Graham, even when he sounded reasonable. I know, that’s an oxymoron, but I only said “sounded” not “was”! At best he is a two faced SOB that needs to go the way of the dinosaur, extinction, along with the rest of the Republicans. They might think they are a gift to the country, but these are “gifts” that the country should not accept. And perhaps at the same time, get rid of the United Daughters of the Confederacy who appear to be aiding and abetting white nationalism according to an AlterNet article.
Graham has always been a buffoon. He hid behind McCain for respectability. He is one of the biggest, partisan, idiots ever in the Senate.
Lets not forget McCain was all for denying Obama his Supreme Court pick and I have no doubt he would have gone along with McConnell’s strategy on Kavanaugh. McCain went against his party a few times. He was no maverick in my opinion. He was also one of the original Keating 5 and the Republicans decided his punnishment at the time, which was nothing.
Thanks, Hugs, and Amen to all!
