Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Wednesday said President Donald Trump’s return to equivocal rhetoric on the violence that erupted at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, was “a step backward.”
“Mr. President, I encourage you to try to bring us together as a nation after this horrific event in Charlottesville,” Graham said in a statement. “Your words are dividing Americans, not healing them.”
Graham said Trump’s remarks during an off-the-rails press conference on Tuesday suggested a “moral equivalency” between white supremacists and counter-protesters like Heather Heyer, who was killed when a car plowed into protesters.
“Through his statements yesterday, President Trump took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency between the white supremacist neo-Nazis and KKK members who attended the Charlottesville rally and people like Ms. Heyer,” Graham said. “I, along with many others, do not endorse this moral equivalency.”
No good trying to distance yourself from the monster, Dr. Frankenstein. You made him. You own him.
Says the coward who does just as much whataboutism as Trump does. Screw you Lindsay.
I’m sorry but these men (and Mrs McConnell) have experienced Trump in private and so know far better than any of us the accuracy of yesterday’s deportment.
While Trump infrequently stands in public with other officials in a row behind him, he has in the last week and the micro expressions of these people suggest they’ve recently witnessed one of Trump’s curse-strewn rages before walking on stage.
Oh, blow me, Blanche.
You’ve had your tongue up Trump’s ass since the inauguration, and you’ve known what a bigoted piece of shit he has always been.
Go back in the closet and see if you can find your designer Klan robe. Wear the fuchsia one. It brings out the Aryan supremacy in your eyes.
He did not win Virginia. We are the only southern state that went for HRC.
