Lindsey Graham on the brink of tears as he claims critics are trying to ‘destroy’

[Guno צְבִי]

"Here’s the most important point I’m going to make tonight; [Democrats] are trying to destroy Herschel to deter young men and women of colour from being Republicans," Mr Graham said. "If they destroy Herschel, it will deter people of colour from wanting to be a conservative Republican because you just have your life ruined."


Though Mr Graham does not specify how precisely Democrats are trying to ruin Mr Walker’s life, he is likely referring to the former footballer’s numerous scandals, which include domestic violence allegations, claims from ex-girlfriends that he paid for their abortions, and the fact that he has three children he simply had not publicly acknowledged until reporting on the subject forced his hand.

Mr Graham appears to be describing the process of opposition research, in which researchers working for one candidate dig up dirt on their client’s opponent with the intent to weaken them. Virtually all political campaigns utilise opposition research during elections, and the fruits of those labour are often what inform the content of attack ads.

The senator seems to believe that the Democrats’ plans go beyond simply ruining Mr Walker, he claims they want to discourage any person of colour from joining the GOP.

Graham's bill to outlaw all abortions only includes one exception: if you dated Hershel Walker

[Guno צְבִי]

We cannot let that happen, we need to have his back. If Herschel wins, he’s going to inspire people all over Georgia, of colour, to become Republicans and I say all over the United States.

He then chokes up while begging viewers to donate to Mr Walker’s campaign.


Political commentor Van Jones responded to Mr Graham’s emotional plea during an appearance on CNN, saying that Mr Walker is a "nightmare to the children that he’s abandoned," and "his own son" before addressing the senator’s claims.

"If you’re a young Black person and you want to be a conservative, there’s a guy named Tim Scott I would direct you to, if you want someone in the Senate you can look up to" Mr Jones, who is Black, said. Tim Scott is Black, Republican, and won his re-election to the Senate in South Carolina.

You would think Graham would be all for discouraging young people from trying to force their partner to have abortions. It will come out later if you do that.

I think Lindsey is worried about what the Georgia courts are going to do to him. The more Trumpers in power, the less likely he'll end up on Pedo Prison.

[Nordberg]

True. He is facing charges of interfering in Georgia's elections. If Walker is in office, he can direct him using runningback treats to keep him from paying for his crimes.

Holy shit. There is such a thing as a, "Nazi Drama Queen"!

Lindsay's assuming his idiot listeners believe Hersh's side of the story, not the womens'.

Lindsey Graham famously said that if the entire Senate witnessed Ted Cruz be murdered on the Senate floor, and they were also the jury, not one of them would vote to convict. Apparently everyone hates Cruz.

Lindsay really meant was :We republicans will have a hard time finding another Black man who will be subservient to us fine white christian folk

Hello guno,

It is remarkable that Graham sits alongside a far more qualified black Senator in his own State, yet claims if GA doesn't elect Walker it totally wipes out the existence of Scott? Well, anybody in the know understands that Graham is full of it.

"Go ahead. Use my words against me." - Lindsey Graham when opposing a fair hearing for Democrat Merrick Garland after he was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Obama 9 months before the next election. Graham maintained it was too close to the next election to process a nomination. Later, Graham supported a rushed nomination process for a Republican nominee less than 2 months before the next election.

Linda Graham needs to keep a stiff upper lip.

Linda Graham needs to keep a stiff upper lip.

Agreed. Also, Graham needs to come out of the closet and show the world his boy toy.

Good to see Congress can work in unison for a good cause.
