Lindsey Graham on Portland Riots: Without Feds to Protect Courthouse ‘They’d Have Burned the God Damned Thing Down’
Breitbart ^ | 08/04/2020 | Penny Starr

Posted on 08/05/2020 7:29:44 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution that the nightly assaults on the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, required government intervention, because local law enforcement refused to quell the attacks on the building and the federal officers already stationed on the property.

Flimsey talks tough prior to elections, then he supports a permanent Democrat majority with amnesty for illegal aliens, AGAIN!

Linda late to the party as usual. Recall when everything was hot and GOP Senators were focused on eliminating Columbus day instead of engaging these domestic terrorists.

Burn it all down. That could be the Democrat moto for 2020. More informational than just “Change”.

Linda is a beta looking for an alpha after McCain died. If McCain were still alive, Graham's statements would be "Yeah, you tell 'em, John".

Senator G does get it right sometimes. Perhaps the McShame influence is wearing off

But didn’t both of George W Bush’s DHS secretaries say Trump was wrong to use DHS to quell the riots?

I think George W Bush’s DHS secretaries opposed Trump on this.

Tom Ridge and Chertoff (so?) denounced use of DHS against rioters, right?

Why wouldn’t they? They are on the side of the rioters. They too, wish to destroy the United States.

Yes, like he pounded the table in Kavanaugh hearing

Looks like it works for some sheeple in the base. They immediately forget that he was an enabler of Mueller and he wants a wave of immigration that would sink the Republican Party and the middle class

So you want a permanent Democrat majority too bert?

Flimsey has voted for that THREE times and he’s working on another attempt for after he is re-elected.

I have one question, and NOBODY will answer it.

Why doesn’t the mayor of Portland, declare a curfew for the downtown? Why allow these riots every night. Call a curfew starting tonight for 9 pm.

Then arrest anyone still on the streets.

The riots will be ended within 48 hrs. as they round up these people, and identify who they are.
