The senior Republican US Senator for South Carolina just adds to the times he comes out AGAINST something Donald Trump has done?
Then BACK TRACKS later….
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday appeared to backtrack on earlier criticism of former President Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 and suggested instead that his presidential immunity defense was “a legitimate claim” as he moves forward with various court battles.
In an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Graham was pressed on whether he stands by his 2021 statement that Trump could still be prosecuted for wrongdoing and that “the president’s conduct is subject to the law of the land.”

I’m sure we could compile a LONG list or weasels…..
R (or D) Weasel of the Day/Week/Month/Year ?
[An R Weasel is a little different from a plain, simple, old Stupid R Politician of the …]
Graham is just a typical Republican.
I don’t see much difference between him and the rest of them.
