Senator Graham’s attacks on Trump embarrass state, nation
Sen. Lindsey Graham recently went on CNN and, in my opinion, he publicly made some very offensive statements that literally should be an embarrassment to the people of our great state and our nation.
He stated that if we want to make America great again, “tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” Graham then called Trump “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.”
It is reprehensible that any politician who represents our country would ever tell anyone to “go to hell,” much less go on national television and do so. His comments were made due to Trump’s call for the U.S. to temporarily stop all Muslims from entering our country until we figure out what is going on.
Whether you do or do not agree with Donald Trump, he currently has more than 30 percent of the GOP’s support. Furthermore, a Gallup poll in November stated Sen. Graham and his colleagues in the Senate and House have a dismal 11 percent approval rating.
In September, the polling firm Public Policy Polling stated that only 15 percent of Republican primary voters in South Carolina thought Sen. Graham should have continued with his GOP campaign. And what does he do?
He doesn’t get it, because he is just another career politician who disregards what the American people think and want, and will do and say whatever he and his cronies personally desire.
