Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Friday pushed back against a statement from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that it would be “highly inappropriate” for a reporter to “get into a debate with a four-star Marine general.”

The general to whom she was referring is retired: White House chief of staff John Kelly. But generals and chiefs of staff alike are routinely subject to journalists’ questions in the United States.

After the briefing, a reporter asked Graham about Sanders’ comment. “The White House press secretary today said it was highly inappropriate to get in a debate with a four-star general, do you agree with that?”

“No, not in America,” Graham said.

1. Support is needed here

Someone needs to set up a web site for this shite.
Liars-R-Fired.org.

Funding to sue these BLATANT LIARS and their "public" service terminated - forever.

The military is well know for stripping metals for bad behavior.
So is the Olympic Committee.

So if they think they can just make up shit and get away with it, a few examples should suffice.

2. Good post and welcome to DU! n/t

[Discussionist KING]

3. Good for Sen. Graham. I find that Sanders lady rather offensive.

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Welcome, D-King!

It's good to have somebody here who's so good at "understatements!"

[rurallib]

7. "rather offensive" is quite mild

I would say smells like a week old corpse or something. She stinks.

Welcome to DU sir or madam or a choice of your own.

[Wwcd]

10. Its her Christian KK Konservative bloodline, I believe

I can't even watch her. Nor listen to her.

Yuk!

[House of Roberts]

5. With that simple reply

Lindsey signed his ticket for the Sunday morning news shows!

6. And he'll be playing golf with Trump this weekend.

8. Mostly I think L Graham is a knuckle-dragging sub-human form. Now and then I get surprised.

It never means I like him; only that when his collegues say he's funny, I kinda get it.
The unfortunate part is that he gets to vote on senatorial issues.

9. Sanders?? Huckabee! The Liar-in-Chief they installed as press secretary!

Not Bernie, which most people think of at the mention of that name.
Pet peeve- Shitty headline writers who obligingly obfuscate.

[FakeNoose]

12. Yes I hate the headline too, it's inaccurate aqnd misleading

I dislike the DU policy that the posted article must contain the title word-for-word.
What about all the bad titles that shouldn't have been used in the first place?
We should be allowed to use our judgment in rewording the title for clarity.

Just sayin'

[DrToast]

11. Whatever. Just more talk

We’re long past the point of getting credit for just talk.

14. Graham is a weasel, don't turn your back on this POS. Just voted huge cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.
