Lindsey Graham Said Syrian Kurds Were ‘Threat’ to Turkey in Prank Call

Crank, yanked. Photo: Stefani Reynolds/Getty Images In the Trump era, Lindsey Graham has revealed that some of his political opinions are a tad opportunistic. Four years ago, the South Carolina senator told CNN, “You know how to make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” Today, he obsequiously praises the president — and the president’s golf courses — on a near-constant basis.

“Your YPG Kurdish problem is a big problem,” Graham told the pranksters. He was referring to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, a group that began fighting ISIS as part of the Syrian Democratic Forces in 2015 — with support from the U.S. — but is considered a terrorist group by Turkey because of its push to establish an autonomous state for the Kurds on the Turkish-Syrian border.“I told President Trump that Obama made a huge mistake in relying on the YPG Kurds,” Graham continued.

Given the Trump administration’s fiercely anti-Iran foreign policy — and the president’s frequent laments about Barack Obama’s criminal failure to starve Tehran of funds — you might think that this White House would have no interest in making Zarrab’s life easier. But you would be wrong .

A POS

TomMetrick Hey South Carolina! DoBetter

Lindsey didn't get that red nose by accident, many a martini has gone down that gullet. They had to break McCain body to get a word out of him, with Lindsey a couple martinis will do. 🖕you lindsey

Way to go LindseyGrahamSC !! DOINK!!!

LindseyGrahamSC couldn't recognize John Barron aka John Miller aka David Dennison? When the Turkish minister said 'I need you to do us a favor though', Lindsay should've known better.

Hahahaha 😂!

Can’t wait to hear the graham spin

Traitor!

please resign LindseyGrahamSC ... or find some ethics and principles to stand up for.

PattieGma4 Good grief, wtf is next?

Lindsey is bad news. Every single sycophant in chumps orbit is crooked af. I wonder what they were voting on when he left the floor to take this call. I wonder how he seemed/looked afterwards when he returned to the floor to vote? I wonder how fast he dialed up chump?

debbie_marney41 Well, well. He’s not so outraged as he seems.

He a two faced liar. Plain and simple. A disgrace to his uniform, a disgrace to his oaths and a disgrace to America.

TXsnark7 Or, more likely, a Russian operative. Why do you think this was released now, months after it occurred? To remind Lindsey that they can make things difficult for him if he continues to criticize Trump.

BregmanPs Lol 😆 fool: LindseyGrahamSC FlaccidCuck

Lindsey Graham is going to burn in hell.

How pathetic is this LindseyGrahamSC I think tomorrow I’ll talk to Queen Elizabeth. And then maybe commune with the ghost of Abe Lincoln

MsActiviss I wish i lived in south Carolina si i could vote against Lindsey but i guess ill just vote for Mark Warner again

The reason Lindsey did this is because he was trying to protect 45 and taking a call was hard when he was so busy like he has been lately..

Why would he even think the Turkish Minister of Defense was calling him.

I sure hope 'Lindsey' doesn't do ANYTHING to harm himself ...👀

Not only that but he told them something very different than what he told the American people. He said the Kurdish people are a threat to Turkey! Two-faced lying bastard

They are THAT stupid.

Get a clue, Lindsey. The Turkish minister’s name was Denny Dennison.

It’s ok when he talk to the POTUS he’s really talking to Putin.

It may have been a prank, but it was a revealing one! Schiff should hire these guys!

The only thing he believes in is keeping whatever they have on him secret.

Lindsey Graham says Trump's 'shameless' abandonment of Kurds will revive ISIS terroristsSen. Lindsey Graham, who has been one of President Trump’s strongest allies in the Senate, on Wednesday said Kurdish fighters in Syria had been “shamelessly abandoned by the Trump Administration” in its sudden decision to pull U.S. troops from northern Syria. Well, again, he knows what he has to do. Stop colluding with the President and start following the Constitution. Trump does not care about the kurds, about isis, about the future of america - he only cares about himself. His actions are selfish and greedy... and un-American.

Opinion: Lindsey Graham is setting up his own Rudy Giuliani sideshowThe South Carolina Republican plans to give President Trump's attorney Rudolph Giuliani a forum to air 'concerns' about Ukrainian corruption. It's clearly aimed at helping Trump, but it might wind up being a good thing. opinion Setting Rudy up to be the fall guy, not that he wouldn’t deserve it, but that’s what Trump does🥴 opinion Both LindseyGrahamSC and RudyGiuliani are both clowns so a circus sideshow makes sense opinion Deny, deflect, distract... now the Republicans are trying to focus on whether the whistleblower was connected to a 2020 Dem candidate. How does that change the corroborated facts that the whistleblower has presented? It doesn’t. It’s just a distraction technique.

Lindsey Graham dishes on Trump in hoax calls with RussiansRepublican Sen. Lindsey Graham has in the last year become something of a congressional point man for President Donald Trump’s negotiations with Turkey, leading discussions on everything from Ankara’s purchase of a Russian missile system over the summer to their more recent incursion into northern Syria politico Oh my fucking god politico He’s a fraud. The moral of the story: Know whom you are conversing with. Several days ago on Facebook, I was responding to a reply and actually the replier John Turpin did not exist. For the activity log indicated that I was replying to my own comment, myself. Be aware of this on phone calls

The Best Argument Against the White House Stonewalling Congress Was Made by … Lindsey Graham“It is not your job to tell us what we need,” the senator said in 1998. “It is your job to comply with the things we need to provide oversight over you.” Perhaps its bc only one side is allowed to question, the testimony is behind closed doors, the majority refuses to release full transcripts of said interviews, etc. If you really want the American people on board, maybe you should SHOW us instead of TELL us what is and isn't. This is everything
