'I Don't Like It!': Lindsey Graham Stands Up to Trump on Jan. 6 Pardons
Source: Daily Beast
Republican senator Lindsey Graham has accused President Donald Trump of sending the wrong signal to violent criminals after some 1,500 Capitol rioters were pardoned earlier this week.
In an interview with CNNs Dana Bash on State of the Union on Sunday, the Trump ally said the controversial pardons put cops at greater risk as he called for presidential powers to be curbed.
During the discussion, Bash highlighted the example of Daniel Rodriguez, a January 6th rioter who was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
The cop he beat and tased was Michael Fanone, a former police officer who suffered a heart attack as a result of the assault and has recently declared he feels betrayed by America.

(109 posts)Lindsey will reverse course and recant his statements. It's happened a number of times. Whenever Lindsey starts to think he has a spine again, one of Trump's or Putin's minions cracks the whip (or shows him a picture) and he falls back in lockstep. Just give it a day or two and it WILL happen.

(1,307 posts)lindsey will get his leash pulled in short order and again sing the praises of dear leader.
my theory is that trump has kompromat on most of these congresscritters and evangelists, and controls the others through bribery and threats of violence.

(7,594 posts)that he'll actually object. Lindsey has a very high tolerance for psychic pain. He's never turned down an opportunity to be stripped of his apparent dignity by Trump. In fact, it appears that he welcomes the attention. He seems to believe that the attention he gains by being humiliated is better than no attention at all. And why not? South Carolina citizens must think it's a good spectator sport to watch Lindsey get reamed time and again in his effort to pay homage to The Man Who Blows Microphones.
