FACT or ALTERNATIVE FACT? Lindsey Graham says Trump called him after McCain Senate tribute speech

Washington (CNN) Sen. Lindsey Graham said Wednesday that President Donald Trump called him after he delivered an emotional farewell to Sen. John McCain on the Senate floor, telling the South Carolina Republican he "did right by his friend."

"He called yesterday after my speech and he couldn't have been nicer. He said, 'That was very sad. I just want to let you know you did right by your friend.' I said, Thank you Mr. President.'" Graham told CNN's Dana Bash in an interview on "Inside Politics" Wednesday, adding that the call from the President was "right out of the blue."

I really wonder what made Lindsey Graham do a 180 on Trump. I assume it was something in his hacked emails.

Graham has lost what ever little bit of trust he once had. My guess is,there is something in Russia Gate that will bring his name to the forefront.

So leave it to Lindsay Graham to use his friend's death as an opportunity to humanize the psychopath in the WH. SMH.

Trump was likely giving the jerk-off gesture as he uttered these words. I can smell the insincerity from here. But yeah, nice as can be. Fuck off, Lindsay.
