Lindsey Graham goes all-in on Trump talking points: ‘It’s better’ for kids to have a border wall than new schools

17 Feb 2019 at 11:12 ET



Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued on Sunday that it is “better” for children in Kentucky to have a border wall than it is for them to have new schools.

During an interview on Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan explained that $3.6 billion of the funds for President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration to build a border wall could come from military funds “including construction of a middle school in Kentucky.”

Graham, however, told Brennan that the children of Kentucky need a border wall more than they need new schools.
.............

“I would say it’s better for the middle school kids in Kentucky to have a secure border,” he continued. “We’ll get them the school they need, but right now, we’ve got a national emergency on our hands.”.............

When this is all over, one of the things I most look forward to is finding out what was said during that round of golf.

Lindsey would've made a fantastic Nazi general. I've never seen someone able to be such an effective, shameless bootlicker. History will destroy him.

John McCain must be furious. I know I am and have been since Lindsay invited Ivanka and Jared to Mc Cain's funeral after McCain specified that tRumps were not welcome. Takes a special kind of idiot to pull that kind of stunt!

And I just saw Meghan McCain recently and she said that her family absolutely did not want Ivanka or Jared there. No one in the McCain family wanted any Trump at the funeral. It takes a lot of nerve for Ivanka and Jared to show up anyway, but for Lindsey Graham to invite them is beyond belief.

What a great friend Graham turned out to be. Totally worthless.

Of course watching Larry, Moe, and Curly was supposed to be comedy - with some tinges of dark humor.

Watching the (R)epuglicons and the pathetic liars and ass-lickers, it seems that a show featuring these types would not be very funny. It would be horrifying.

What a bunch of bullshit these GOP assholes are. You have vacated your duties, and are now destructive to our country by your blind allegiance to an orange god and an agenda of perpetuating white wealth and privilege, at the expense of the other 90%. Keep looking over your shoulder. Sane Americans will take it back, and your day of ass-kissing that agenda and power will be over.
