Senator Lindsey Graham, who tried the House's case against Bill Clinton back in 1998, called today's historic vote: "A sad, ridiculous sham in the U.S. House of Representatives." In 1998, as a Congressman from South Carolina, he had a very different point of view. Aired on 12/13/19.

From Clinton To Trump: Watch Lindsay Graham Change His Opinion On Impeachment | Hardball | MSNBC
As we’ve seen time and time again, Trump, Rudy, Graham, Nunes, Gaetz and others, are wilfully aiding and abetting Putin and his Russian security services in propagating their false narratives and propaganda here in America. What’s worse is that they are attacking America’s democratic institutions and our intelligence agencies, the very same institutions and agencies that exists to protect America from foreign adversaries like Russia. This constitutes an immediate threat to America’s national security. This is something that should concern every American, regardless of party affiliation…
Trump and his republican sycophants had a choice between serving America and it’s Constitution, or serving Putin. They have clearly chosen Putin. So in 2020, it will be time for the American people to make a choice. Will we bow our heads in silent defeat, and surrender to the unconstitutional phuckery that Trump and his republican sycophants have been trying to normalize and force upon us? Or will we stand-up and vote for ourselves, for America’s future, for our kid’s future, for of their kids, and for the democratic ideals that this country and our Constitution were built on. The stakes could not be higher.
Semper Fi…
WHAT IS THE DEM DOING ABOUT THE NUNEZ-PARNAS ANGLE ?
@C H 🤣😂🤣I see your point- Why should we Trust over 15,000 experts that work on the issues around the clock when we have Donald Trump..
The President that sounds like a stoned 13 year old with ADHD when he speaks and like a drunk step dad when he is angry.
@Elkslayer You don’t see my point. It isn’t necessary to believe Trump in order to be skeptical of the intelligence community.
Lindsey Graham. His name is really Lindsey Hypocrite. What a slimy, slime ball.
Lindsey you’ve betrayed the U.S.A. !
Go to your LOVERS
trump & putin!
@Atlantic Beach – no, he betrayed the Leftists. You know, the enemy of the American people
Its ‘Miss Lindsey.’
Graham I don’t know who’s blackmailing you or buying you but I hope it was worth it because you will have a shameful and disgraced record in the history books.
Bbete__ is right!
Graham certainly became a better American after McNoName assumed Room Temperature. People still wonder if NoName took himself out or faced a Military execution. Inquiring Minds want to know.
@TheBase1aransas – Stfu troll. Worry about your own country. #TrollsSuk
Pretty sure the the ‘blackmail road’ and the ‘bought-off road’ both lead to Vladimir Putin.
@Duane Hall What are the @MSNBC BOTS going to do as this Russia thing becomes FULLY #EXPOSED as it’s going to? Think McNoName played a part of that too? I do. #NothingCanStopWhatsComing …
Republicans were more than ready to impeach Clinton over lying about a bj, something that did not involve 400 million in taxpayer money, something that was not a threat to our national security, and it did not involve illegally using campaign money for hush money payments to two different women, and did not involve another foreign country. But they see nothing wrong with Trump taking money that did not belong to him, taxpayer money, that was appropriated by Congress, our legislative branch of government, and using it to bribe another country into interfering in our elections for his own personal benefit.
So far, Trump and his sycophantic supporters have no legitimate defense. His absurd defense so far has been to tell his followers that they shouldn’t believe what they hear or see with their own eyes and ears, and they should only believe what he tells them. His other defense has been trying to convince the American people that the Constitution is a hoax, and that there is no such thing as the rule of law. So if there’s no Constitution or rule of law, that means he could not have done anything wrong…..because nothing is wrong anymore.
C H the chosen one will probably never go under oath because he knows he’ll commit perjury.
@American by chance He probably knows the Dems would make that accusation regardless.
@C H You ask : “Withholding aid to Ukraine is no threat to US national security ?”
My response: I disagree
By providing lethal aid like Congress agreed upon, Trump would have upped the commitment to Ukraine.
Dropping that commitment, especially for personal reasons, was noticed by all allies over the seriousness of any U.S. commitment—and embolden all adversaries.
C H individual 1 could go testify and clear his intentions. No one else seems to back him up. Any potential witness that would is denied from doing so like pence, Pompeo, mulvaney and Bolton.
Wowww, good thing those videos still exists for everyone to see.
What a disgrace of a human being
The hysterical man in the Senate. Trump has dirt on him; there’s no other explanation for his whiplash turnabout.
I can imagine that Putin and Trump have collected a lot of dirt on all the people in the Republican Party.
another of Putins puppets
@C H did the Democrats fake that video like the moon landing ?
@Elkslayer Did the DNC/Clinton campaign pay a foreign agent to conspire with Russia to get dirt on a political opponent?
Demoracts in South Carolina need to use video against Lindsey Graham
He has looked like a Grandma Graham since he was younger. 😂😂😂
I try never to comment on a person’s looks because I have my own issues with how I look. Rather, I consider what they say because that is their truth; what they say is what and who they are. He’s a vile dishonest hypocrite is what he is and who he is.
The final statement was poignant. An excellent thought to end this week on.
Lindsey then when he had a lot to gain vs Lindsey now when he has a lot to lose…
Something to be said about a state that would re-elect this hypocrite…same with McConnell and gym Jordan
– in the Era of Name-Calling, let him be known as Hypocrite Lindsey !!!
Another NASTY, NASTY man in D.C.!
There should be hypocrisy laws for elected officials.
Could this Lindsay Graham clip be played sometime in trump’s senate impeachment hearing? Please?
Democrats should have shown the video during the hearings.
H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E is Lindsey Grahams new slogan!
Barney Frank looked so much older! I didn’t recognize him.
I love when the media has receipts. Yass!!!
