Graham: Trump Is ‘Absolutely Not’ A Racist [VIDEO]

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham baited a CNN reporter into asking him if Trump is a racist, only to soundly reject the notion. During an exclusive interview, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Graham if he could confirm that the president referred to Haiti and African countries as “shithole countries.”

“You can keep asking me all day long and I’ll say the same thing,” Graham responded. “Why don’t you ask me, ‘is he a racist?'”

“That was my next question,” Bash admitted.

“Okay well why don’t you ask me?” Graham said coolly.

Bash followed Graham’s instructions and asked if the president is racist, only for Graham to respond, “absolutely not.”

“Let me tell you what, you can be dark as charcoal and lily white — it doesn’t matter as long as you’re nice to him,” Graham explained. “You could be the pope and criticize him — it doesn’t matter, he’ll go after the pope.

“He’s a street fighter,” Graham concluded. “It’s not the color of your skin that matters, it’s not the content of your character, it’s whether or not you show him respect or like him.”

Sen. Graham just cannot get his head around the “dirty talk” thing.

Can’t get his head around controlled borders, either.

Graham appears to be detaching from the McBrainCancer / Flakey cabal.

Good.

This was great. Rush talked about it. It totally destroyed CNN. Gramnesty is shamelessly pro amnesty but on this I commend his honesty and truthfulness. I also point out the Gramnesty NEVER confirmed the “$h1t hole” lie by Durbin, refuted or unconfirmed by every other person in that room!! It was a damned lie!! Durbin should never have access to our president and he should be branded as toxic!!

It was snarky, and a bit backhanded. Linda didn't have to add that crap about "it's not the content of your character; it's whether you treat him with respect". Linda makes it sound like President Trump is some gigantic ego who demands homage. It might not occur to Linda that President Trump wants what's best for the American people, and that's what motivates him.

Agree, South Carolina needs to vote for a fresh America-first candidate.
Go Home ‘open borders, backstabbing Lindsay Graham! Americans are disgusted in you.

I was kidding . . . I know that she is, at heart, a Dummycrat. And Trump is playing her and the rest of them like a Stradivarius.

Did Trump bitch slap Graham or something? He is being strangely cooperative.

"He (Graham) is being strangely cooperative."

No he isn't. Know thine enemy.

His comment above was fork-tongued....he is a snake-in-the-grass anti-Trumper, and he smoothly tries to appear "cooperative" and "defending" the President at the same time.

every once in awhile, Lindsay says something sensible...
perhaps when his bff McShame finally retires, maybe Lindsay may get more reliable (free of McShame’s influence)
