Lindsey Graham’s argument stands out because it makes Trump look worse, not better. (via MaddowBlog)

“No, the meeting was bad. He shouldn’t have done it,” Graham said. “But again, you know, there’s a double standard about this kind of stuff. And I don’t think it’ll matter in terms of his political future, but I do believe we need to watch who we meet with. We shouldn’t give oxygen to people who think this way.”

As it turns out, the South Carolinian explained what he meant, telling reporters on Capitol Hill yesterday, “You know, when Democrats hang out with Farrakhan, y’all don’t ask these questions.” In other words, as far as the GOP senator is concerned, Trump did something “bad,” but journalists should be equally vigilant about covering Democratic leaders who engage in similar misbehavior.By any credible measure, there is no prominent analog for Fuentes on the left. We are, after all, talking about a notorious Holocaust denying racist who’s called for the imposition of a dictatorship in the United States.

“[W]hen Democrats hang out with Farrakhan, y’all don’t ask these questions,” he said. This might be a more compelling observation were it not for the inconvenient fact thatGraham’s argument stands out precisely because it makes Trump look worse, not better. If a former Democratic president, and the frontrunner for the party’s presidential nomination in the next election cycle, had dinner with a fringe crackpot, that would be highly controversial.

MaddowBlog stevebenen heard the Farrakhan comparison couple of times recently. They don’t know history. As you said, no one was “hanging out” with him. Why did he have to go back 30+ years? Farrakhan is 89. No one ever gave him credibility.

MaddowBlog Lindsey Graham is the physical embodiment of double standards.

MaddowBlog There is a double standard in their favor?

Biden admin refused to say whether a top official overseeing nuclear waste policy continues receiving government pay after being charged with FELONY theft. In a call 2 hours later, Brinton apologized to the officer for not being 'completely honest.'

You mean like how the entire left denounce Balenciaga ? Oh wait…they didn’t

He is one in the same

Who’s going to help the People of Georgia out on crimes and economic? Instead of focusing on personal attacks

Fool and a criminal locking up soon.

I think we all now can agree on that donald are a compulsive liar. He can know a person ”very well” and the next day he have never met the same person, how sick isn’t that, but even more sick is that people belive him.

Who cares if trumpy don't denounce it, he has told us who he is, believe him!!! And dammit if we stop talking about him maybe he will go far away!!!

Have you got him this time? 😂

Toxic Trump Dump!!!

Lindsey and McCarthy flip flop back and forth on what Trump does. Depends on the day and what time you ask the question.

And Biden has a criminal for a son and a brother

Illegitimate teleprompter in chief Biden praised Byrd at his funeral are you denouncing that scumbag msdnc?

Well Lindsay's a tormented soul. Ask his meemaw.

Graham is a self-centered weasel who will say anything & align with anyone who will allow him to remain in power so he can enrich himself by doing nothing + standing for nothing. Although you could probably say this about every politician, Graham has perfected the art & must go!

Now do the Squad!

Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump. Get over it already.

Trolling is not leadership.

Nearly the entire democrat party hates Israel, and now suddenly they’re the defender of Jews? Why don’t you call any of those people out?

The 'stable genius' pretends he doesn't know who white supremacist and antisemite Nick Fuentes is? And Ye? He knows who he is and invites him to dinner anyway?

Al Sharpton.

it does not matter you would twist it to favor your view. low ratings for you.

MSCHINANBC

MSNBC has Trump derangement syndrome 😂🤣😂

The last 3 (D)emocrat Presidents, and Manchin, paying respects to a KKK Exalted Cyclops who oversaw 100s of Klansmen at the absolute pinnacle of their Lynching and Terrorism in the United States... But it was (D)ifferent. He sai(D) he was sorry!

I didn’t see you denounce Robert Byrd, friend of Biden, whom didn’t leave the kkk until it started to hurt his polling. Hypocrites.

He denounced it a million times. You just won't admit it.

MSDNC knows a thing or two about bigots.

Fernandes double fires perfect Portugal through to World Cup last 16A second half brace from a stunning Bruno Fernandes fired Portugal into the last 16 of the World Cup on Monday to join France and Brazil, after a 2-0 win that outclassed an uninspiring Uruguay given little chance to get into the match. First goal not CR7? His hair touched the ball ⚽️😂😂😂 A little biased as Portugal was dominated during 80% of the second half. But does Reuters know anything about football?
