'I don't know what he was talking about,' the South Carolina senator said of Trump's recent lies about the outbreak.

Donald Trump's lies about the current COVID-19 outbreak have become so egregious that even one of his most loyal supporters in Congress is calling him out on it.

"I would encourage the president, if he's going to report things, to make sure the science is behind what he says," Graham told CNN on Thursday morning.

Graham was fielding questions about Trump's most recent claim about the outbreak, in which he falsely claimed the death rate was lower than 1%.

"I don't know what he was talking about but I listen to the scientists when it comes to the numbers," Graham added.

1. Thanks for your concern, Leningrad Lindsey.

You're part of the reason that idiot still has a podium to spout nonsense from.

So shut the fuck up.

8. Thanks for the reminder Dave! Done.

5. " I listen to the scientists when it comes to the numbers"

So we can expect you to start admitting that climate change is also a threat to our very existence?

Didn't think so, Leningrad Lindsay.

6. Trump makes sure of nothing

Unteachable is just that. I have a "hunch" that even Lindsey knows this.

9. Nothing you say matters Lindsey....

10. Graham needs to worry about

Making sure our Democracy isn't destroyed, and he already knows trump can't grasp reality, and is nuts. Graham also knows trumps a serial liar, and can't stop his delusional behavior now. Graham is the one needing to be replaced for not ridding this country of trump when they had the chance. People need to remind him daily of how the GOP screwed up.

11. Yes Lindsey, listen to the scientists when it comes to the numbers.

14. Lindsey, Lindsey, do you really expect Trump to ever check a fact?

DO NOT invite him to join your pub trivia team.

15. I'm seeing a headline in the Onion

"Guys say people should listen to scientists about scientific issues."
I think I just saw a similar thread with Bernie also mentioning this.
Methinks the journalists are having a hard time finding headlines to match up with all we've seen in the last 48 hours--but YES at least Lindsey Graham said something slightly anti-Trump. I guess that is newsworthy. Kind of.
Sigh.

16. No you wouldn't

You would do exactly what you are doing

17. Too little and waaaaaay too late Lindsey.

Fuck off!
