Lindsey Graham Reportedly āScreamedā At Officer During Riot For āNot Doing Enoughā To Protect Him
When the insurrectionists breached the Capitol building, the outnumbered Capitol Police officers had to act fast.
Some officers were on the front lines, face to face with the largely unmasked rioters that violently broke doors and windows as they charged into the building.
Other officers were tasked with evacuation maneuvers. They whisked Senators, Representatives, and staffers into safer areas of the building, and sat ready to defend the lawmakers if the rioters approached.
But for all that selfless courage showed by the officers, apparently senior Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, wasnāt a picture of composure in the midst of all the chaos.
In an interview with MSNBCās Ari Melber, Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, a colleague of Grahamās, explained that he heard Graham didnāt exactly keep his cool:
āI heard when the 75 senators were confined in a room with about 75 staff people, Lindsey Graham with his mask off started screaming at one of the officers ā I think it was one of the captains ā saying, āHow come you didnāt protect us? Itās doing your job.āā
āHe was screaming at an officer. He had his mask off screaming at this officer from five feet away ā I was maybe 10 feet on the other side ā that the officer, the police, didnāt do enough to protect us.ā
Brown later pointed out the irony of Grahamās poor response to the Trump-led insurgency he had long encouraged.
āThis is the same Lindsey Graham that for five years ā or for four years, he didnāt do it in the beginning ā defended and argued for and encouraged and aided and abetted this president and all of his followers.ā
Twitter users who heard Brownās comments had a field day with that panicked image of Graham.
Evidently Graham was impacted by his experience huddling with his colleagues while the mob overran the building.
When the rioters were finally removed from the Capitol, Graham voted to certify the results of the election and acknowledge Joe Bidenās lawful victory.
Randy Rainbow gives Trump a final sendoff. May he sink into the morass of legal ramifications he himself created and trouble us no more.
It just occurred to me that there IS a reason to watch trumpās āgoing away partyāā¦that is, to make sure the door hits him on his way out! Funny, apparently not even Pence is going to see him offā¦then again, I guess he already knows trump is offā¦
And Iām not losing sleep over this, thatās for sure- but I hope Mike is!
And now thereās more:
