The week of Donald Trump’s inauguration, Sen. Lindsey Graham heard some of the chatter from the new administration about trade tariffs on Mexico, and he made his opposition clear.
Last night, Donald Trump announced his intention to impose new tariffs on Mexico. About an hour later, Lindsey Graham endorsed the policy he’d previously denounced. It comes against a backdrop in which Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has advised Donald Trump Jr. on how best to sidestep a congressional subpoena, ignored all kinds of lingering questions about the investigation into the Russia scandal, and admitted he didn’t bother to read Robert Mueller’s report.
“Graham’s approval has benefited from his defense of, and alignment with, President Trump. While Graham’s numbers used to lag those of other Republicans among GOP identifiers, since he has taken up the President’s banner on most every issue, his approval among Republicans in South Carolina has steadily risen,” [Dr. Scott Huffmon, Winthrop poll director] said.
There’s no great mystery here. Graham made a simple calculus: constructive legislating imperiled his career, so an overhaul of his tactical position became unavoidable.

It is your job to comply with the things we need to provide oversight over you,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said in a 1998 clip. Swallwell as usual is inventing issues and the sky is falling. I find it hysterical that the crazy leftists who put all of their trust in Mueller are now terrified of being exposed.

Donald Trump's impeachment trial 'would be disposed of very quickly,' says Lindsey GrahamAny attempt by House Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump would likely be shot down by a short trial in the GOP-controlled Senate, suggested Senator Lindsey Graham. So much for congressional oversight. The Framers could not have predicted two, possibly three corrupt branches of government. Uh. Lindsey Graham is the traitor. Lindsey Graham's position in the Senate should be 'disposed of quickly' Trump should be impeached, convicted in the Senate, indicted criminally, convicted, and imprisoned.
