Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says he is still on President Trump’s side.
During an interview on Axios’ HBO show Sunday night, Graham defended his “conscious decision” to help Trump “where I can,” despite admitting that he voted for independent candidate Evan McMullin in 2016.
When asked whether his views on Trump’s character shifted after the 2016 election, the President’s closest Senate ally said he had a change of heart after getting to know Trump, but added that he finds Trump to be a “handful” and “an equal opportunity abuser of people.”
“I’ve gotten to know him and I find him to be a handful, I find him to be an equal opportunity abuser of people, but at the end of the day he can be very charming and be very gracious,” Graham said, without clarifying what he meant by the abuser remark. “I’m judging him by his conduct. If I spent all day analyzing every tweet he issued I’d go nuts.”
In a brief promo of the interview released Saturday, Graham also said that he wants “to make Trump successful,” but “not at all cost” in light of his outward opposition of Trump’s move to abruptly pull U.S. troops out of Syria.
Last week, Graham threatened to become “Trump’s worst nightmare” if he doesn’t resolve the fallout that has ensued from the U.S. leaving the Kurds to deal with Turkey and ISIS detainees in Syria on their own.

Sure, because abusing people is the number one characteristic that a potential POTUS should have.
I’ll wait and see what happens when the wrath of Khan/Trump comes Lindsey’s way.
An “equal opportunity abuser” is not a character trait that anyone should endorse. Was Lindsay rolled into the interview in a vat, a vat to hold all of parts together since he has no bone in his body?
And “getting to know Trump” only took one round of golf, which makes Trump a very shallow person or Lindsey a very quick study.
Miss Lindsey will remain a Trump cultist so long as Putin/Trump don’t reveal the Kompromat on him.
Fuckface brought exhibits.
