Sen. Lindsey Graham attends a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 23, 2016.

WASHINGTON — Hours after a violent mob ransacked the Capitol last month in support of President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham vowed he had seen enough.

"Count me out," Graham, R-S.C., said in an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, adding he was sad to see his journey with Trump end this way. In an interview two days later, Graham said "he'd never been so humiliated and embarrassed for the country" and spoke in palpable frustration over how his longtime ally handled the riot.

Just weeks later, he is singing a different tune. Graham is set to visit the former president's gilded Mar-a-Lago Club on Sunday to spend two days golfing and dining with Trump. He has spoken to the former president nearly daily since Jan. 6 - more frequently than any of his Republican colleagues in the Senate - and served as an informal adviser to Trump's defense team during his Senate impeachment trial this month.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose hometown pastor gave the invocation at his presidential campaign announcement Monday (June 1), scores a perfect rating with the religious right.

He’s as conservative in his politics as he is in his Southern Baptist beliefs. The 59-year-old senator worships at Corinth Baptist Church, in Seneca, S.C., founded in 1884.

Here are 5 faith facts about Graham:
1. Graham was educated in his parent’s pool hall and at church.

“Everything I know about politics, I learned in the pool room,” Graham told a group of New Hampshire business leaders earlier this year, explaining his distrust of the Iranian nuclear deal, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

And much of what he knows of life, he learned in church, where the paper describes him sliding into the sanctuary as the service begins and slipping out quietly before the final prayer.....More....

This is what the republican leadership thinks about the rubes.... they're only good for their money.

Lindsey Graham said Trump 'could kill fifty people on our side and it wouldn’t matter' to GOP voters: new book

A new book from reporters Peter Baker and Susan Glasser quotes Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as backing up former President Donald Trump's claim that he could get away with murder and Republican voters would still support him.


The Independent has obtained a copy of Baker and Glasser's new book, called "The Divider," and has found that Graham told them during Trump's first impeachment trial that there was very little anyone could do to dislodge Trump as the leader of the GOP, no matter how many crimes or misdeeds he committed.

"He could kill fifty people on our side and it wouldn’t matter," Graham explained.

So far so good, Trump has probably killed +50 careers within GOP, lawyers, politicians, ass lickers and they still worship him.
