Huh?
Didn’t Republican Rep.Liz Cheney LOSE her leadership spot for essentially saying the SAME THING?
This hit the Hill and Politicalwire several hours ago….
NO pushback from the other Republican Trump supporters?
Nothing from Trump himself?
No Rightwingnut media mentions?
I know the Senate IS different…
But?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he accepts the results of the 2020 election, and urged Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, to focus on the upcoming midterm where the party wants to win back control of Congress.
“I accept the results of the election. … 2020 is over to me, I’m ready to march on and hopefully take back the House and the Senate in 2022,” Graham told reporters in South Carolina.
Graham’s comments come as Trump has remained focused on the 2020 election, doubling down on his false claim that it was “stolen.” Trump’s legal team has lost dozens of challenges in court and GOP state officials along with former Attorney General William Barr have dismissed suggestions of widespread fraud, but that has done nothing to lower Trump’s rhetoric.
While Graham, who voted to certify the 2020 results in January, said he accepted the results, he added that he would endorse making changes to election laws heading into 2022, including tighter voter ID requirements.
…
While most Senate Republicans voted against challenges to Biden’s Electoral College victory in Congress earlier this year — when a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol — they also stayed silent for week after the November election as Trump tried to cast doubt on the results in key states.
Those false claims appear to have taken hold in a significant swath of GOP voters, according to polling.
Six in 10 Republicans believe Trump’s false claim that the election was “stolen” from him, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released last month. And a CBS News poll released over the weekend found that 67 percent of Republicans said that Biden wasn’t the legitimate winner of the 2020 election….
Note….
Graham has actually been saying THIS since November 6, 2020….
Graham has a history of working WITH Democrats in the past (He WILL again) , something the Republican’s have NOT done much until now…..

Nice spin .
Also a barrel of crap.
Graham is one of the best known MAGA red hat wearing bootlickers in the country.
You failed to mention that just a week or so ago Graham heartily endorsed Trump as an absolute necessity to the Republican Party,saying that if Trump left the party half the party would leave with him.(he’s probably right about that).
Your obsession with Graham “working” with Democrats is gatbage too.Lots of Republicans,Graham included, will,at various times, work with Democrats on non controversial pork barrel stuff.Everybody knows that (while you get all excited about that fairly normal occurrence ).
On major matters that people really care about?Like the rest of the Republicans ,Graham will have one answer!
“NO!”
Get your damn head out of the sand here it’s usually firmly dug in.
Kevin McCarthy said the same thing until he didn’t.
McCarthy it is reported …Is on Trump’s shit list…
The fact remains guys?
Ole Lindsey said what he said….
And the fact remains that Lindsey Graham is still a piece of shit whose word is less TrUstworthy than Trump’s,
Agreed Z….
Bonus Quote of the Day
“We clearly had an insurrection on that particular day, and I don’t want it to be swept under any rug.”
— Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), quoted by NBC News, on his support for a bipartisan commission focused solely on the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol.
All six of them. Only six. Watch what they do, not what they say.
It’s not in their interest to have this fully investigated.
Benghazi yes, this no.
