Jake Tapper interviews Donald Trump about Lindsey Graham
A few words on the passing of South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, who spent the last ten years of his life eagerly helping Donald Trump in his quest to destroy American democracy. youtu.be/z4HMequIiiY
jamelle2003one thing i forgot to mention, as an illustration of his character, is the way he sat back and said nothing when trump attacked his late friend, john mccain.
NickelBack2theFuture78In case anyone needs it.
The Trump Crisis50Today is truly one of the happiest days I've had in many years. Lindsey Graham was a first class diabolical piece of shit. Now I'm just waiting for Mitch to follow him to the pearly gates of hell.
Mark Copelovitch30Thanks. As always, well said.
Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺23I will remember Graham for supporting Ukraine despite the Trump regime not doing so, and for the kind words he once had for Biden. That's it. I am sad that Graham had so many opportunities to repent of his Trump worship and squandered them all. In the end, not a life well lived.
Alyson Smith19This was excellent. And don’t forget about his attempt to take away healthcare ⤵️
Joel D. Anderson95“Remembered as Trump’s little assistant.” Jamelle, as ever, got to the heart of things in this scathing remembrance of a man who knew better.
Phillip Anderson90This is really good and well worth 6 minutes of your time
James D'Emilio5Straight talk, often in Lindsey Graham's own very sobering words. Here's a tip: live your life as if Jamelle Bouie will speak over your casket. You'll be a better person before it's too late to matter.
HL Eisthen, defective human product3A great insight: Bouie here refers to Graham as T***p's Waylon Smithers. Fervently hoping this catches on and becomes part of his legacy.
Mike Stucka3This is thoughtful, fact-based, and unrelenting.
Dennis Lytton2A lot of GOP electeds figure they'll live to see the end of Trump They just gotta wait him out. Make it to the second half of 1945 "That'll be my chance to denounce him" The undiscovered country might have something to say about that
Chilling In interview just now: Trump tells Jake Tapper that Trump is trying to have “CNN go on a normal path” (David Ellison is poised to take control of CNN in the Paramount - WBD merger)

Yellow Dog Dem 18Scott Jennings of @cnn.com lied on air about a dead senator. @cnn.com is already gone. They're toast.

seamiracles5Was he talking about himself in the 3rd person? Bc that's, of course, yet another sign of cognitive decline (and narcissistic personality disorder)
Kat4Obama10And did Tapper turn to the camera with his unchanging bilious expression and say Trump's war on the free press means Joe Biden is unfit for office?
Lisa3Nothing will be normal again until he's dead. It's HIM.
BlueHeart2He meant a normal path to destruction. Won't be hard. CBS already wore down the grass for them.
"When Donald Trump first appeared in U.S. politics, Graham recognized him immediately for what he was: the spokesman for an alien ideology, one radically different from the idealistic patriotism that Graham had practiced and preached since childhood." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
David Seibert34When you see evil, and recognize evil, but them embrace evil because you think it will benefit you, you are, in fact, evil.
Marty Lederman23No one's motivations for complicity have ever been *less* of a mystery: Graham was very, very transparent about the fact that (as you speculate) he "craved proximity to power": He boasted about it, and it was far more important to him than all other considerations.
blueduck 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇲🇽12I recall Lindsey proclaiming that Orange Hitler would destroy the republic party and they would deserve it. Then, Lindsey helped to that end. AMERICA will not miss him. A pedophile enabler who compromised a nation
Sal Santamaura12Who cares. Rather than than waste time and effort reading/writing about MAGAt Graham or his temporary replacement who South Carolina's governor will name, the patriotic thing to do is working toward election of Dr. Annie Andrews (who was running against him) this November 3: drannieandrews.com
Joseph Cappadonia8Always so bizarre how he went head over heels MAGA.
wanda27.bsky.social6His support for Ukraine does not absolve him.
Dan Mishkin16Very good piece on Lindsey Graham by Anne Applebaum. It also links to her excellent 2020 article on collaborators, in which Graham features prominently. (Sending as a gift link so anyone can read it)
Donate Krappe 🦒12Leseempfehlung! Anne Applebaums Nachruf auf Lindsey Graham 👇 "Perhaps Graham understood, at some level, that he had betrayed the moral code that he grew up with. Perhaps that was why he maintained his attachment to the cause of Ukraine" Vlt von Interesse für Euch? @docgaby.bsky.social 1/2
lena bell 🔔5And yet he presented his fiery-red baboon backside to trump
Kelly²3I’m reminded of Dante’s Inferno where Hell’s subsections have corrupt politicians, liars, hypocrites, “flatterers” etc. near the frigid center and lower than say, murderers.
Staci D. Kramer3“…he made the decision to abandon his previous ideals, to bury the patriotism that was once so important to him, and to become, instead, a loud, opportunistic collaborator. Graham went out of his way to telegraph his closeness to the president.”
Hope you’re okay2“he made the decision to abandon his previous ideals, to bury the patriotism that was once so important to him, and to become, instead, a loud, opportunistic collaborator”
Lindsey Graham: “Donald Trump is not a conservative Republican. He's an opportunist. He's not fit to be President of the United States.”
PatriotTakes 🇺🇸63Lindsey Graham: “I have never been comfortable with Donald Trump as our Republican nominee.”
Who Cares9"These things happen in threes, you know."
thatraleighguy.bsky.social9Takes an opportunist to know one
EASTMAN4It’s hard to accurately assess the harm that Lindsey Graham caused in his lifetime. With his conservative views and support for the pedophile in the White House, the damage he helped inflict on the nation will have a long-lasting effect. It is not a legacy that deserves to be honored.
Jessica 👩🏻 Bodhi 🐕 and Casanova 🐈⬛4Lindsey was an opportunist too.
Mr. Spades4"Were gonna bomb em back to the stone age!" - Lindsay 2026
MAGA: “Why are the libs acting like Donald Trump? It’s very disrespectful.”
Ma Joad ✌️21Is MAGA blaming Biden for Lindsey’s death yet?
SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN6Now that is funny. And in response to MAGA: Fuck off losers.
PyxelPye 📎 (Beth)6They ain’t seen nothing yet. This is our dress rehearsal for the Big One we’re all waiting for.
Fuzzy Soft5Become a cult leader and you too can say whatever you want in any manner you deem fit.
testpressing4we were told to Be Best
Ghost of Lepa Radić4don trump absolutely strikes me as the type of self loathing gay who convinces himself that being a top makes him not "really" gay...
Graham’s life was not a tragedy. It was a choice. And for what? The approval of Donald Trump? The praise of a man whose measure he had taken a decade ago? open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
Catherine H. Michael4I have a theory I occasionally post that anyone who enters DT's orbit becomes the worst version of themselves. You can tell by their fruit. His nadir was when he called Raffensperger; he should have lost his job for that, in the least apnews.com/article/geor...
MariaC🇦🇷🇮🇹🇺🇦2He chose to disrespect the grieving mother of an officer who died as a result of J6 He disrespected the service of Michael Fanone who was present at that meeting Frankly, Graham deserves no praise, just scorn for his choice to treat others with a profound lack of empathy And licking Dump ass
bannedbookbuyer.bsky.social1He knew his votes would kill women. He. Did. Not. Care. I give him zero grace. None. Nada. Zero.
Ships of the World, start your engines.1I'll never forget his back seat soliloquy defending Joe Biden. a brief moment of clarity before donning that MAGA hat forever.
A disgruntled fiscal conservative👊⛳️🔥1It is so sad what Lindsey became after the death of John McCain and the retirement of Bob Corker. Tragic really.
Art Weber1The *ONE* statement from Lindsey Graham worth remembering ...
Todd Rowley💙🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇹🌈🌎☮️🐾🖤💛⚾️🏈🏒⚽️🏀🎼2I’ve posted this periodically over the past 10 years as a REMINDER and Lindsey was right all along! Lindsey Graham IN HIS OWN WORDS Dec.2015: "He's (Trump) a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot. I think he's a KOOK. I think he's CRAZY. I think he's UNFIT for office. He'll destroy the GOP." FACT
Michael Anderson2This is what democrats want from their elected representatives! Its not that hard.
🇺🇸👀 Laura Loomer: Did Russia just poison Lindsey Graham? There seriously needs to be an investigation. Russia just sent a delegation to Khamenei’s funeral in Tehran where the IRGC and funeral organizers was calling for myself, President Trump and Senator Graham to be assassinated. 1/2
The Ukrainian Review143Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine one day ago calling for a Russian sanctions bill that he claimed the White House supports. Now he is suddenly dead from a random illness according to his staff. Did Russia just murder a US Senator? 2/2
Laura Loomer is a crank conspiracy theorist lunatic. Not worth listening to or giving any credit to whatsoever.
Kristopher North5When? While he was under Ukrainian protection? Or do you somehow think the Trump administration would let the Secret Service take the fall for this one?
riversofsound.bsky.social3Russia cares about Laura Loomer - and cares enough to issue a death threat? That's surprising to me. Not surprising - that conspiracy theories are cropping up. 71 year old men die of heart attacks, (or whatever killed Lindsay), all the time.
Free Shrug Fella2Laura Loomer is always a few sandwiches short of a picnic. As a public figure, all aspects of his death will be thoroughly investigated.
Unfriendly Goose2Oh, man, 🙏 let it be true. Speaking of 2 🐦 with 1 🪨. Lady Graham, 🖕 for your service. Rest in piss.
Whether or not he understands it, this is what Donald Trump wanted
Daniel Gilmore31Coulda just taken your lumps and stayed on the golf course, buddy. No one made you run again.
Kelly Miller4“Only I can fuck it up”
Fascism Heckler3Trump's wounded ego couldn't stand that he's hated. Everything is nothing more than a desperate way to created a legacy where people don't pee on his grave
Eli Friedmann 2Trump promised to reverse inflation on day one with tariffs. Voters decided to believe this horseshit. But now they are seeing it ain’t happening and they are pissed.
President Donald Trump called into CNN's State of the Union with Jake Tapper on Sunday, July 12 to discuss the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4fdORao
Anna Baxter 💙🇺🇸10Of course Trump called in to speak to Jake. Tapper is the CBS version of Bari Weiss, but with a lot less power.
Smirnov-Spite8When you’d rather talk about how your No. 1 toady is dead than about how your war in the Middle East is going, probably not a great war.
Emily5"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." "I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office." "You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell." - Sen Lindsey Graham, 2016
Impeach Trump Now!!!5Considering Trump always called CNN “fake news”, why is he calling CNN?
queenstout.bsky.social3@jaketapper.bsky.social can you get Mitchell on the phone to share his thoughts on Ladybug?
Cool Xenu 86472Jake Tapper can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. @cnn.com #USA #MAGA
