Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he isn’t buying all that Democratic “joy” on display at this past week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago during a Sunday appearance with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union.
During their conversation, Tapper brought up the “disciplined” and “well-produced” DNC this week that, as the journalist put it, “conveyed patriotism and unity.” Graham didn’t see it that way.
“Well, I didn’t see what you saw,” Graham told Tapper with a laugh. “If you’re a Republican, you saw a hate fest. You saw a hate fest full of insults.”
“Americans are not joyful when they go to the gas station and fill up their car,” he continued. “They’re not joyful when they make their mortgage payment. They’re not joyful when they go to the grocery store. People are hurting, and this whole joy love fest doesn’t exist in the real world.”
To bolster his claim, Graham pointed to the gas prices, the state of the border, and inflation during Donald Trump’s presidency when “the world was not on fire.”
He's either lying or what he said gives us a look into his shitty perspective of the world. Either way such a miserable and pathetic existence.
You're viewing a single thread.
And how can you change that as a lawmaker?
Edit: Of course this is meant to be a joke, because that’s the exact opposite of GOP. Capitalize on hate and drive hope into the bowels of hell.
He's not a lawmaker, he's a radical Christian nationalist in lawmaker clothes.
He actually believes this
Well step one would be to plant a bomb at Mar'a-lago at an opportune time.
Relax, I'm joking! Although.. 😛
..........oh man. What a comment to read before the mods eventually purge it.
81113 hours and it's still up 😁Guess the joke police finally arrived. Oh well, had a pretty good run as far as controversial humor goes 🤷
