    1. Given Miss Lindsey’s poor education, it’s not hard to see why he has a major problem distinguishing between hole and holy. Lindsey’s reading and writing skills suck as bad as his political judgment.

    2. YOU, are the one who is ‘STUPID! since your beliefs are'”0′. You have a right to your opinion, like others have a right to theirs. Just be patient! life has a way of showing you instead of telling you that “YOU’ will need “THE ALMIGHTY GOD ONE DAY!….MAYBE SOONER THAN YOU THINK!!!

  1. I interested in how Lindsey Graham was silent in 2020 when the Cares Act gave millions upon millions to corporations making millions & billions in forgivable loans. TX oil frackers got free money & left Texans to freeze. I wish the CNN interviewer had brought that up. We need a whole new government team.

    1. @EclecticOne okay so your point is it’s okay to blame American citizen who happens to be Asians for the problem Trump did not share with the American people that it was a pandemic of a virus disease which is uncurable at the time and call it the Asian flu which it was not a flu it have flu-like symptoms I am a nurse I know the difference between a flu virus and a disease this caused by bacteria it is a total difference and this ex-president Trump said hateful things is it Asian people were the blame in the United States for what’s going on with this pandemic covid-19 virus there is no excuse in hate crimes from haggar groups need to stop no one has the right to punish or hurt anyone because you have a difference and the way a person look or belief no one race is superior over the other God did not appoint cork Asian people to be the king over the Earth to be the ruler overall all different race of people so this is what I mean it is not right to start propaganda it’s like a cancer it can destroy a lot of people’s light it is so many precious life gone because of this ex-presidents negligence I lost a sister family members from the pandemic Cobra 19 virus damn near died myself so don’t tell me anything about a flu virus it’s a comparison to this deadly disease it doesn’t connect

    2. @Carol Ann Davis Please work on your punctuation and grammar. That response was hard to follow.

      Since your emotions are blinding you to reality, I’m going to lay out the case here. First, all people of Asian descent are not to blame for this pandemic. BUT, the CCP happens to be primarily responsible because it screwed up on a number of fronts, including counterproductive food safety practices, reckless research protocols, tragic health protocols, oppressive and tyrannical governance practices, etc. Since the CCP maintains an iron grip on everything that happens in and out of China and the people of China grant it that privilege, blame for the consequences of this pandemic extends to the Chinese people and country who keep the CCP in power and strive to extend its influence outside of China’s borders. Whether you and China like it or not, China is primarily responsible for this global pandemic.

      That said, Trump, Republicans and corporate Democrats in Congress, their financial enablers, and scores of reckless Americans share some of the blame for the spread of the virus in the U.S. since March 2020. Would these people have been a problem in the U.S. if the CCP had prevented COVID-19 from forming in and escaping from China? Absolutely not! That’s why they are not primarily to blame for U.S. deaths. They are secondarily responsible. That said, those who outsourced U.S. manufacturing to China ARE primarily responsible because they left the U.S. vulnerable to this health threat. As far as I’m concerned, this economic treason is a crime worthy of complete impoverishment and imprisonment.

      I don’t condone violence against Asian Americans, but I do understand human nature. The American people and rest of the world are going to hold China, its people, and its government accountable for the deaths and massive economic losses that resulted from a pandemic that originated in China. Why? This was an avoidable disaster. Unfortunately, the world will lash out at those they perceive as being of Chinese descent in the same way many Chinese lash out at Westerners for past sins. Stop acting as though this human response is solely relegated to Americans when it never has been. It isn’t and never has been. It is racist to assume otherwise.

      If we’re being completely frank here, westerners have a lot of reasons to be resentful toward Asian Americans and Wall Street. So, none of us should be surprised by the political blowback that this pandemic has unleashed in the country. In my humble opinion, free trade and offshoring are a far greater reason for the blowback. Again, I do not condone violence against anyone. Instead, I simply recognize what happens when people are pushed past their limits of tolerance in life.

    3. @Carol Ann Davis Please stop giving into your paranoia. At no point have I advocated attacking innocent Asian-Americans. Instead, I have simply observed that political and economic blowback are a predictable phenomenon that result when one group feels it has been unjustly treated by another group. This sociological response is as applicable to Asian Americans as it is to every other socioeconomic slice of the global community.

      Case in point, those who have lost loved ones and their economic security in the world to a virus that originated in China and was mishandled by China will logically want to seek justice by whatever means at their disposal. This is especially true in the face of a U.S. government which refuses to respond as it should to the longstanding economic and national security threats that China has posed over decades. I hold crooked U.S. politicians and robber barons as accountable as I do the thieving mercantilist nations around the world. China merely happens to be the worst culprit.

      One final point, if you and the rest of the Asian community outside of China are not equally as resentful of China over this pandemic, you’re fools because China and the CCP pose as much of a threat to you too.

  2. Well Liz Chaney is back on the wrong side again. That didn’t last long. 😏 And then there’s Lindsey. I wonder if the truth of the blackmail will ever be exposed? 🤔

  3. Can’t wait for the interview when ol’ Lindsay forgets to remove his hood before going on camera

    1. Can’t wait for the interview when [a single liberal] cancels Charles Darwin, who wrote in “Descent of Man” that white people were higher evolved from the black “savages” (Darwin’s consistent term for all people of color) who evolved from primates in Africa; justified colonial genocide as “survival of the fittest”; predicted an eventual “super race” that would evolve from Northern European/Nordic countries and conquer darker-skin Europeans… literally inspiring the basic ideology of the Nazi party. Can’t cancel someone who is too important to a secular humanist worldview though, the ego won’t allow it. Easier to ignore the root of white supremacy because then it would require intellect to combat

    2. @Andrew Christie Eugenics was Darwinism applied to humans, it was a fad with the “scientific” community of the time.
      Look at some of the writings of Margret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.
      He goal was to “clean up” the American population, by eliminating people that were “defective” or would have a successful life, according to her…

  4. Republicans don’t want money going to the people, even though it is our own tax dollars. They want the money in their own pockets.

    1. People like Lindsey Graham and the rest of the Republicans I would like to line their pockets and give a few pennies to poor white people to make them think that they’re on their side when Ashley they only care about the rich and how they can get money under the table to line their pockets these kind of politicians are dangerous that’s why when it comes down to vote them out people need to stand up and get them the hell out of the office

    2. @Carol Ann Davis What about Israel Needs Billions to build their Border walls Rescue Plan. What about the Pakistani Gender study Starved people Rescue Plan ?

    3. Getting the military to cover gender surgeries is nothing more than the tax payers flipping the bill for abortions.

    4. How many filthy Filthy Rich Democrat career politicians do you think they are ?

      Lindsey Graham, net worth is less than $800,000. Eight hundred thousand dollars.

      What’s Clyde burn’s net worth ?

  5. “Shame”?! Lindsey?! If that man had ANY capacity for shame he would have self immolated long ago!

    1. sociopaths have no shame or capacity to do anything out of the interests of others, simply incapable

    2. @Constantine Papadakis Bullseye 🎯 . Lindsey’s Bullseye is a Browneye ! He’s a Dung Theologian !

    3. Lindsay Graham has no morals as a person from SC as long as Graham has been in the senate Graham has done nothing but spread racism like no body business he has done nothing for the stat of SC in current towns there there are no jobs but when election time he vist them with the promise of being jobs he is liar to my brother’s and sister kick Lindsay Graham out of office unless you like to be lied to Graham is a fraud and a grifter

    1. Democrat’s support men tossing each others salads!!!
      If that ain’t the gates of hell bound people..

    2. @Bill Gates for one I am not a snow flake but you are racist an very homophobic,that or just plain out jealous of others because you are not happy with your own life,

    1. Homophobic and you support election investigations? But only investigate Republicans. Got it. Yeah, just another typical Democrat hypocrite

    2. @Tom Phillips REPUBLICAN will FLIP on people and they tell LIE. That TED CRUZ is SOMETHING else Now

    3. Hopefully Durham has evidence on Hillary, Brennan and Obama and their illegalities they committed in 2016 and we get to see them in Orange Jumpsuits soon!

    4. @deborah gadson What did Kamala do for CA Homeless people as Senator?
      Nothing? YEPPERS
      Totally useless

  6. Lindsey Graham always looks like he’s been crying 5 minutes before every interview, and that he’ll start again at any minute.

  7. A lot of the hardships that we suffered from as a people… is because we were systemically robbed from it… in the beginning, so he Lindsey Graham would rather for us to go extinct from life, instead of having our lives.. our Liberties with the pursuit of its happiness .. He should be ashamed of himself and the human hindering that he’s always in support of.

    1. Lindsey Graham, and the like, would be very happy if black people were literally still enslaved.

    2. @Huliet Strachan point on…. but its unbelievable how the likes of him.. and his actions… still allow and continues for him too be voted back in…. time and time again. 🤔🤨

  8. Now that I think about it, is Lindsay being investigated for his illegal attempt to overturn the election results in Georgia???? This definitely needs to be next on the agenda of throwing out the trash!!!🤨

    1. I voted for Jamie Harrison… I wonder if he made calls for himself. All I can say is if you voted for Jamie Harrison and used a mail in ballot make sure your vote counted.

  9. Now you know how we felt about being cut out of the G i bill Lindsey, after sacrificing our lives for this country.

    1. ​@The Reason I use to live there and I still have relatives there…Ft. Sumpter SC is where the secessionist started the war and they don’t like being told to change their ways.

    2. @JACQUELINE OTTO WE MOST DEFINITELY WILL, THEY ARE CORRUPT CROOKS. THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP BLACK/ BROWN PEOPLE FROM EXERCISING THEIR “GOD’ GIVEN RIGHT…TO VOTE!! THESE ARE “JIM CROW’ TACTICS…REPUBLICANS CARE ONLY FOR THE “RICH & THEMSELVES…NOT THE “AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!

  10. “Lindsey should be ashamed” That’s funny, you need to have morals to feel shame, something tells me Lindsey has never felt shame at any time in his lying, two faced, cowardly, weak willed, back flipping life

  11. Lindsey $1.9 Trillion doesn’t begin to address the “ Reparation Bill “ cost, quit playing.

  12. Mz. Lindsey: “If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all”. A damn cartoon rabbit has more wisdom than you do!

  13. One sad thing about Lindsay, and there are many, is that he is the direct descendent of slave owners. Even more, based on his demonstrated character, I have no doubt he himself would be a slave owner if he could.

  14. I’ve watched bigots like Graham for 64 years….
    They never change
    Bereft of empathy ,they seem to enjoy causing others pain

  15. Why is it that for a people who built this wonderful country as unpaid workers.
    America can’t stand to give us any real equality leveling financial support
