Lindsey Graham Warns TFG That Jan. 6 Riot May Be His 'Political Obituary'

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, has offered a warning to former President Donald Trump that the violent insurrection his supporters carried out against the U.S. Capitol could be his "political obituary" if he doesn't get over his 2020 election loss.

Trump, who made false accusations about the election process, urged his supporters to "fight like hell" and to march to the U.S. Capitol in a bid to keep him in office on January 6, as both chambers of Congress met to formally certify President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. Hundreds of Trump's supporters proceeded to attack the U.S. Capitol, with many threatening to harm or kill top lawmakers, including then-Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

"What I say to him is, 'Do you want January the 6th to be your political obituary?'" Graham, an ally of the former president, told The New York Times for an article published on Saturday. "'Because if you don't get over it, it's going to be.'"

During a July interview with Fox News, Trump was asked about the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Although the former president avoided addressing the riot specifically, he spoke favorably of his supporters who attended the nearby rally directly prior to the insurrection.

Lindsey is certainly not a leader.

Some of these people like Graham have the idea that they will get the upper hand in controlling Trump. I don’t think so, and they will need to choose between a very non-conservative antidemocratic politics and their own conservatism.

I am sick of the lot of the lying-assed Republicans. If the party was run by honest, patriotic adults, Trump would have been discarded like used toilet paper when he started the big-lie issue. It is party leadership that has kept the whole thing alive. Some of them are beginning to see that the wind may be shifting and endangering their own positions. I suspect we will see a lot of forked tongue speech and acrobatics from the sluts.
