Graham says Biden 'deserves' a Cabinet if he wins

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Friday that former vice president Joe Biden should have a Cabinet, if he wins the presidency.

Graham, a staunch Trump ally, said during a press call that he would work to find areas of agreement with Biden but emphasized that the election is not yet over.

“When it comes to finding common ground, I will do that,” Graham told reporters. “The vice president deserves a Cabinet. I’ll give him my input about who I could vote for as secretary of state, attorney general ... There may be some people that I just can’t vote for because I think they’re unqualified or too extreme.”

While the White House and Senate majority have yet to be called, Biden is within striking distance of winning the presidency after taking a slight lead in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state that would deliver Biden the White House should he win it. Meanwhile, control of the Senate is up in the air. While Republicans are poised to start the year with a razor-thin majority, the state of Georgia will hold two runoffs on January 5 for its pair of Senate races. If Democrats win both of those seats, they will control the Senate with Biden as president.

Hope you're prepared to slap Mosocow Mitch if he refuses.

[BusyBeingBest]

1. Not the Onion. They might let him have a Cabinet.

[MontanaMama]

2. Lindsey apparently didn't get

Moscow Mitch is memo.

[Cha]

58. Maybe he doesn't give a shit

bc lou dobbs said don't vote for Graham? dobbs is trump toad.

That was my first thought, anyway.

:Hi:

[montanacowboy]

3. Gee Thank you

you POS so nice of you

go crawl back in your hole or inside the Dump's ass

[forgotmylogin]

47. Why does he say stuff when we know next year he will change his mind? n/t

[Binkie The Clown]

4. "Because they are unqualified" never stopped him before. nt

[They_Live]

29. That line jumped out at me

too.

[RobinA]

59. The Line

that jumped out at me was when he called Biden « the Vice President. »

[Blue_playwright]

61. Yep. He missed the irony there.... eom

[christx30]

57. Yeah, because everyone knows that to be in the cabinet,

one has to be willing to destroy the very thing you were hired for. The secretary of education should want to destroy public education. Unless some fly-by-night school is getting rich on the backs of students trying to improve their lives, what’s the point?

If you’re trying to improve things for people, you’re right out.

[OhZone]

5. Uhoh

Maybe he knows that whatever Trump had one, Biden has on him now!

ha

[LakeArenal]

6. Lindsey finds common ground only when the ground he's on gets shaky.

[Me.]

7. Stop Trying To Run Biden's Presidency Lindsey

and who knows what fate has in store for each of us, Lady Karma may just have her sights set on you for your duplicity and treachery. THere might be a reckoning to you, you certainly deserve one

[vishnura]

8. Hey Russkie!

We gave him the right to have a cabinet, not you, that turtle or the orangestain. Now we will play by the same rules that you and the turtle invented. Hope that you be a man and take it on the chest.

[BKDem]

9. What an arrogant prick Lindsay is (he'll consider that an insult, right?).

If the Rs don't give Joe the Cabinet he wants, he should pull Trump's "acting" dodge until they relent.

[justgamma]

10. Too bad

he didn't apply the same thing to Chumps picks. They were all "unqualified or too extreme."

[torius]

11. In other words, you can go anywhere in the White House

As long as you do whatever I say.

[justgamma]

12. Hey, maybe he'slooking for another

person to attach himself. He used to love Biden, maybe he'll grab on to him. lol

[dchill]

13. Lindsey, everybody should get what they deserve.

[Cheezoholic]

14. John King just slammed him royally..

King said "Graham, the chairman of the Judiciary, an attorney, I think he's still active in the military reserve, said 'I think you will see real evidence of a fraud'. He's the chairman of a committee, that's not the way it works. If you have it, show it, if you don't BUTTON IT!..."

Loves me some King when he gets hot.

[MyMission]

15. Someone on DU suggested Biden make acting appointments

If his are not confirmed. Easy fix.
Seriously love that idea!

And of course Lindsay will grovel to whoever has the power. Kissing up to Biden already.

[vishnura]

16. Hey Russkie!

We gave him the right to have a cabinet, not you, that turtle or the orangestain. Now we will play by the same rules that you and the turtle invented. Hope that you be a man and take it on the chest.

[ancianita]

17. Graham loves to lie to our face like Lucy with the football. Fuck Graham.

Do not trust any official promises from him. He'll turn on us under ANY pretext.

[Vinca]

18. You've got to love the GOP. Suddenly the notion of an "acting" whatever is out the window.

Time for a reality check. The orange despot set a few new standards the GOP accepted and could certainly be used by a Democratic president if the need arises. What goes around comes around.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Republican Senators will appear to be cooperative with a former Senator

but don't read their lips, watch their actions.

[Bayard]

20. "unqualified or too extreme"

Really Lindsay? Have you been paying attention AT ALL the past 4 years?

[fierywoman]

50. + a bazillion.

[ancianita]

56. Translation: "Whatever we don't like"

[Roy Rolling]

21. Watch how quick the GOP acts Now

There will be a full court press opposing acting cabinet secretaries like Trump did. Now, Republicans will oppose them.

Just go away, already. Nobody's even listening to you this time about power-sharing. Republicans have been stripped of their power everywhere but the Senate, get used to it GOP. There's a new sheriff in town.

[marble falls]

22. Sure. That's what he says today. Fuck him.

[Ingersollman]

23. Fuck you

Lindsey.

[Chemisse]

24. This is not conciliatory at all!

"I’ll give him my input about who I could vote for as secretary of state, attorney general ... There may be some people that I just can’t vote for because I think they’re unqualified or too extreme.”

[jmowreader]

25. One thing that must be said...

Biden is going to nominate nice, reasonable, intelligent and qualified center-left individuals to serve in his Cabinet. He's not going to fill his cabinet with people who make Che Guevara look like Joseph McCarthy.

Lindsay Graham knows stonewalling Biden's Cabinet picks will do two things, neither good: it will make the Senate look like petulant children, and it will cause President Biden to simply make the same individuals "acting" secretaries, like his immediate predecessor did.

[yuiyoshida]

26. Seriously???

LINDSEY GRAHAM needs a huge cup of sit the hell down and STFU!

[elias7]

27. Deserves? WTF is wrong with these people?

They are so broken as people and as Americans

[PoliticAverse]

48. You don't thunk Biden deserves to have a cabinet?

https://www.wordnik.com/words/deserve

To merit; be worthy of; incur, as something either desirable or undesirable, on account of good or bad qualities or actions; more especially, to have a just claim or right to, in return for services or meritorious actions; be justly entitled to, as wages or a prize.

[malthaussen]

28. Clearly, the Constitution means nothing to Mr Graham.

A Cabinet is not something you grant to the President out of the goodness of your heart, Mr Graham. Fortunately so, because that goodness does not exist.

30. Does Kentucky allow recall elections for US Senators?

Honest question.

I don't think his recall is likely (assuming it's possible), but getting the process started (again assuming it's possible) might motivate him to take this thing seriously.

[niyad]

37. Are you thinking of moscowmitch or lindsey?

[cab67]

39. I asked about Kentucky...

...so that would be the giggling shitbag currently serving as majority leader.

I wouldn't oppose recalling his South Carolinian compatriot.

[niyad]

42. But this thread is about lindsey, so one wondered.

[SpankMe]

31. Graham deserves a swift kick in the balls. n/t

[11 Bravo]

36. That would entail facts not in evidence.

[Paladin]

32. Mighty big of you, Lindsey. (nt)

[58Sunliner]

33. Who the eff is that pos to dictate?

Talk about extreme and unqualified. Look in the mirror you disgusting cretin. Why is the media giving these traitors coverage.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

34. Why, bless his heart! That's so thoughtful of him. NT

[mr_lebowski]

35. Oh, how freaking magnanimous of you Lindsey ...

How about Dems just win the runoffs in GA, and you can go eat a bag of dicks, how's that sound?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. Voting for an unqualified person doesn't bother Lindsey when it comes to judges.

Also, Biden has the integrity to appoint only qualified, service minded men and women to fill his cabinet, judges, and other appointed positions.

[BeckyDem]

40. Fuck off, you are not fooling anyone. This is a stupid attempt to make it SEEM rational that Trump

could still win. Trump is a LOSER.

[kskiska]

41. I doubt Biden will choose his cabinet members from Central Casting

the way trump did.

[Marthe48]

43. power trip much?

your ride is over, you traitorous pos.

[apnu]

44. Graham is a barnacle looking for a ship after he gets scraped off Trump's ass.

[DeminPennswoods]

45. LOL!

That is true.

[Steelrolled]

46. For sure there will be at least one cabinet nominee that the Senate will nix.

Maybe the admin even nominates one or two that they suspect won't make it, just to let the Senate get their ya ya's out. But I predict it will go surprisingly smoothly.

[Tarc]

49. For all his...numerous, numerous...faults, Graham is a staunch believer in the institutions

of our federal government. It has led him astray at times, e.g. his gargantuan hissy fits during the impeachment process, but this is encouraging. I imagine this is a sentiment shared by a few others, Grassley, Shelby, Collins (I know, I know).

[Vivienne235729]

51. I am waiting for the election to be called so I can pivot to January's senator runoff in in GA.

I am still hoping we can etch out something of a senate win and then we can shove these words up Lindsey's ass.

[calimary]

52. Um, gee, Lindsey, is this another one of those times when you absolutely flat-out guarantee

we can hold you to it?

Like you said last time - and then turned your nose up at that vow?

I won't hold my breath.

[sdfernando]

53. convince lindsey to take some minor position if Biden's government....

Get his Senate seat to a Democrat....then fire his ass.

[appleannie1]

54. Oh, how big of him. He gets to decide who is unqualified or too extreme.

I doubt Biden would name an Amy Coney Barrett double.

[marble falls]

55. And some day Lindsey will have a "fair" trial.

[area51]

60. Graham: "I'll give him my input ...."
