As senators gathered in a secure location amid the riot at the Capitol on January 6, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was apoplectic, even complaining to a Capitol Police officer that the security force "let people breach the Capitol."

That's according to reporting included in "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," a forthcoming book from the New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns.

Hey Lindsey. The people of the nation OWN the Capitol, and it is their money that pays for it’s maintenance and upkeep. You’re just renting an office there - and the lease can be revoked at any time. I

Fag. Why did they all flee? There was not the slightest indication of violence. Not a single Congressfool with balls walked and and simply TALKED to people coming in.
That is all that would have happened had they done so. People would try to convince them to address the stolen election.

They all ran to their shelters. There is a photo of Jason Crowe from Colorado, “Mr. Ranger” himself cowering behind chairs like he is under fire.

Their reaction tells me one thing. They are like a crackhead that runs when they see a cop car. They knew about the steal, and were afraid justice might be coming. They reacted like guilty people.

Lindsey Graham was supposedly a Colonel in the military and he ran away from the velvet rope riot. And these ass clowns want to fight Russia inside Ukraine? Our leaders cannot face an octogenarian saying scornful things without running to a bomb shelter.

Morons.

President Trump warned days before the 6th that a million people would be there and that many,many troops/cops were needed. It’s almost as if Bella Pelosi was *looking* for an excuse to cry “insurrection”.

If a “books” says it, it must be true.

Anything Lindsey says isn’t important in the big nor the small picture. His colors run all over the place like a bad painting.

He also wanted the cops to shoot more people.

Lindsey Graham told police to ‘use’ their guns against Jan. 6 rioters: ‘Take back the Senate!’

Actually, Graham’s statement implies that indeed, police simply let in the protestors.

Unlike the pure rampage and violent incursions we’re supposed to imagine (which did happen, for some reason, to some extent on the outside, but not nearly all of it).

I understand that. But Linda won’t let an opportunity for drama pass her by.

Thank you. This was my thought too.

Graham is such a weak, two faced, lying Rhino that this could actually be true — despite the source.
