Lindsey Graham Says ‘I Don’t Care’ if Migrants are Detained for ‘400 Days’: ‘We’re not Going to Let These People Go’

By Connor Mannion July 14th, 2019, 2:54 pm

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he doesn’t care if migrants held in the detention centers he toured with Vice President Mike Pence are detained for well over a year.

“I don’t care if they have to stay in these facilities for 400 days, we’re not going to let those men go that I saw,” Graham told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on this week’s edition of Sunday Morning Futures.

“I saw 900 illegal immigrants that were captured for coming into our country illegally, housed in detention facilities that was meant for 385. So they had to put a tent in the back. What I saw is a bunch of people who have been here before, broke the law before, and we’re not going to let them go,” Graham said.

Graham also said immigration enforcement officials are doing an “incredible job” and says he plans to introduce a resolution in Congress to praise them.

1. How does he know

these people broke the law?

[DENVERPOPS]

4. I'll bet any amount of money

I will bet any amount of money that Putin has full colored glossies of Lindsey sucking C*****, maybe even Trump's!!!!! LOL
Trump obviously showed Lindsey something (over one weekend at a golf course of Trumps) that made Lindsey flip 180 degrees from being totally against Trump to being 150% for him every day since...........

Putin/Trump obviously have the most compromised group of Republicans ever known in the congress, especially the Senate Republicans.
You have to wonder what all of them have been running scared from being divulged for them to be in lock step with Trump.
Betcha Putin's spies have been collecting Kompromat on all of them for years, just waiting for the right time to use it.......

My mind wanders: The Repub Politicians could not be that worried or compromised by info of their promiscuity involving ADULT women.......Recent breaking news about a certain Repub Billionaire and his underage girl harems seriously makes one wonder......

17. I agree - it's the only explanation. n/t

22. Maybe Epstein got his wealth from blackmail?

[volstork]

24. Bet there are similar pics

of turtle doing the very same thing. He got a dishonorable discharge from the Army for sodomy; you do the math.

[3catwoman3]

32. Seriously?

I never know what to believe these days.

48. Interesting

But shouldn't there be a record of his arrest?

[mr_lebowski]

6. Cause ... they're brown, and incarcerated?

What more does he need to know?

[Grokenstein]

8. "They must be guilty of something!"

"...Otherwise they wouldn't have been arrested!"

[Polybius]

39. He saying they are undocumented

So what he's saying is they broke the law by coming here.

[Blue Owl]

2. He's getting his policy positions from Melanie's wardrobe

Nice...

[SHRED]

3. This is a direct violation of the 8th amendment

[tymorial]

10. In republican land brown people have no rights.

[DBoon]

25. The only amendment is the 2nd

The rest are a communist plot

[karin_sj]

5. F**king heartless bastard

This makes me so angry. What a punk he is, trying to sound tough for his cronies and his deplorable base. His good friend, John McCain, would be horrified to see what kind of subhuman he's turned into. I hope whatever Trump and the Russians have on Lindsay comes out soon and makes him go away, preferably behind bars for well over 400 days.

[Paladin]

7. I expected no better from this piece of shit.

Any honor that Lindsay Graham possessed was buried with John McCain.

[mr_lebowski]

9. Reasonable people may argue about whether they should be 'let go'

But it's completely UNREASONABLE to proclaim they should be kept in conditions like that in the meanwhile ...

People on fucking DEATH ROW aren't treated that poorly.

Granted, knuckle-draggers like Lindsey and the Trump Cultists probably wish convicts were treated far worse than they are, but the fact remains.

Treating these poor folks worse than convicted murderers and rapists is freaking BULLSHIT, and need to STOP, NOW!

[bucolic_frolic]

11. THAT's a newsworthy quote

The compassion ... the humanity ... the concern for children ....

“I don’t care if they have to stay in these facilities for 400 days..."

[Grokenstein]

12. And he doesn't have ANY problem with this part:

“I saw 900 (...) housed in detention facilities that was meant for 385.

Of course, the full quote conflates asylum seeking with the "illegal immigrant" bugaboo, and people who "broke the law" (whether they actually did or not--seeking asylum is not illegal, but it's not like these people are going to get decent legal representation, right?) with God Emperor Fingerbrains' nightmare scenario of hordes of rapists and murderers.

This is all deliberate. There is no "mistake," no "misunderstanding." Graham is doing this quite deliberately, and presumably of his own free will.

Remember that when the tide turns but Nancy wants us to let bygones be bygones (cf., the crimes of Dick Cheney and his handpuppet Li'l Dubbie)...again.

[yaesu]

13. is he trying to out due tRump as the most vile piece of shit on the planet? nt

[MarcA]

16. Noticed Pence doing the same this week. Is it the same evil or

is drumph casting around for a more suitable VP? Always thought if
he was looking for a change it would be Nikki Haley. Or maybe even,
the rethugs are getting ready to dump drumph and auditions are needed
to select the right MAGAt.

[George II]

14. So he doesn't care if they violate the law?

[beachbum bob]

15. Due process no longer exist if you are not white

Call it out, enough is enough

[marble falls]

18. I just have to know: what does someone got so dirty on Lindsey Graham?

[woodsprite]

19. Maybe for "special" clients, Epstein also trafficked in boys. nt

[llmart]

20. Maybe he can borrow Melanie's coat when she's not using it.

These people are evil.

[DENVERPOPS]

33. How many times do I have to tell you

How many times do I have to tell you, it's not melanie, it's MELANOMA.....

Can anyone beg to differ? She fits the description, a virulent cancerous lesion that quickly invades a body and lives off the host......

[dhol82]

38. I actually prefer Melena

It means blood in the stool.
Describes the family.

[DeminPennswoods]

21. Just

[japple]

23. I tried to watch the whole video but that US Senator from SC who was tripping over his tongue

and spitting out his replys to the program host who was screeching at the top of her lungs really lost me. I guess the people who rely on TV for their information really don't get very much.

[Doreen]

26. Does this include the babies also?

Are they dangerous according to Graham and Pence?





Fucking assholes!!!

[SCVDem]

27. Lindsey and the entire KGOP

Are guilty of crimes against humanity!

Is the Hague too busy for these bastards?

[DENVERPOPS]

34. Hague is still busy

Hague is still busy trying to figure out how to nail "W", Cheney, Rumsfeld, et all for crimes against humanity........

There are actually many countries that the above assholes can never visit because they will be arrested on the spot and sent to the Hague..........

Speaking of Cheney, Rumsfeld, has anyone heard a peep from them? A very relevant question: who do you think is directing this entire Republican nightmare from the shadows, that has descended on the American People? Certainly not Trump or anyone in his administration, none of them have the intelligence to orchestrate and implement this plan with such precision......
Then again, maybe Cheney, Rumsfeld had to solicit some help from Trump's dearest friend in Russia..........

Someone DEFINITELY got to Trump when he was forced to call back his Iran war mongering mission after it had already been put in motion. Who do you suppose has that kind of power over Trump?????????????????

And another point. Pence called back to the white house emergently when he was already on his way to a speech, and Trump hiding out in the White House at that same time????? We never got a satisfactory answer on that one, did we.......

[EX500rider]

49. "There are many countries that the above assholes can never visit because they will be arrested"

Which countries have issued arrests warrants exactly?

[noneof_theabove]

28. Blue Flood Nov 2020

Make 2020 a "Blue Flood".
Not a wave.
But make what the world saw 12,000 years ago look like a baby bath.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT !

[Me.]

29. Isn't That Illegal Mr. JAG?

[Doodley]

30. Replace the word migrants with Jews and you have 1930s Germany.

[Marrah_Goodman]

31. Just another racist pig.

[Takket]

35. Graham is a scum sucking pile of human waste

That’s all I really have to say.

[paleotn]

36. Sieg heil, Herr Scarlet.

You fascist piece of shit!

[helpisontheway]

37. He has sold his soul to the devil. Hope he loses his seat. Nt

[democrank]

40. Lindsey Graham is a living, breathing cesspool.

[Dawson Leery]

42. The entire GOP belongs in the Hague.

Putrid animals, ALL OF THEM!

[dalton99a]

43. +1. Every damn one.

[dchill]

44. What a tough guy!

What a MAN!

[Vinca]

46. What a piece of shit.

[DeminPennswoods]

45. Wasn't there a story just a few days ago that Graham and

Pelosi were working on a few fixes to the immigration system?

[raccoon]

47. I hope to god we vote his ass out in 20. NT
