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.
What a sad statement from someone it is all too easy to believe actually thinks such a thing.
Lindsey Graham may be the most miserable person in congress.
He’s a “lifelong bachelor” 🙄, not allowing himself to experience true happiness with another person of his choosing according to his orientation out of the knowledge that he would be ostracized by his colleagues, voted out of office, and would lose his livelihood. He chose capitalism and power at the expense of his own joy, so he can go ahead and be as miserable as he wants to be for all I care.
He just hasn’t found a woman who has what he wants, which is a penis.
I hear they have girls like that in Thailand. A friend told me.
Plenty of women with penises out there.
… maybe none that’d touch Lindsey, but he did that to himself.
Putin and Trump have something really, really bad on him. Or least, in the eyes of his constituents. The way he turned on a dime in Trump support after one round of golf tells you everything you need to know.
“Is that you eating a chocolate bar, Lindsey?”
