Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in an interview broadcast Sunday voiced support for President Trump's move to declare a national emergency to fund a border wall, saying he made a convincing case that the southern border is "broken."

"I think the president's been making a persuasive case that the border is broken," Graham, a key ally of the president, said on CBS's "Face The Nation."

"Drugs are flowing across the border killing Americans, human trafficking. We've got a dangerous situation along the border," he added. "I know that the governor of California agreed to leave a hundred California national guardsmen along the U.S. Mexican border because he could see results in terms of interdicting drugs.

"So I think the president has the authority to deploy troops to the border... And I think he has the authority while they're there to build barriers."

Graham added that he supports Trump's "desire to get it done sooner rather than later," saying that he was "disappointed that my Democratic colleagues would not give the president the money to secure the border."

1. Oh look, The Hill is amplifying lies in their headlines again

1. The Hill is owned by a Trumpite billionaire
2. Repeating lies directly - esp in headlines - helps the liar by spreading the lies.

3. The only ones

Who think it was a "persuasive case" are people like Graham, who has his head up trumps butt, and the brain dead cultists that accept trump as being "sent from God". Anyone in their right mind knows this whole thing is a farce!

I don't give a damn.

5. What does Trump/Putin have on Ms. Graham?

I wonder what did Trump tell and or show to Graham when they
went golfing about 1 year ago? Ever since then Graham has been
a first class boot lick.

6. I get it now. Lindsey is the one in the back seat wearing a wig with duct tape on his mouth.

It all makes sense now.

7. Since Lindsey has already proven he maintains a double standard dependent on party affiliations

Who gives a fuck what he thinks?

8. No. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief did not. He lied. Again.

9. Well, lindsey, your Democratic colleagues have written you off as a pathetic sycophant

10. Republicans had 2 years to give him his wall, but they didn't

Because there is no emergency.

13. That's what I've never understood

Why didn't Trump ask for this money when the Republicans had control of both houses? He had a better chance of getting it then than ever does now. In my opinion, this didn't become an emergency to him until he realized there was a good chance the Democrats were going to take control of at least one house of congress.
