Lindsey Graham Crosses the Line — Gets Himself Booted From White House Immigration Discussions
Independent Journal Review (IJR) ^ | Jan 27, 2018 | KELCEY CAULDER

Posted on 01/27/2018 2:56:14 PM PST by upchuck

The White House appears to have banned Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) from participating in immigration reform negotiations due to recent strain between Graham and the Trump administration, as well as other Republicans in the House and Senate.

Tensions first rose when Graham advocated for an immigration deal that failed to address President Donald Trump’s main concerns regarding chain migration and border security alongside Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). The situation worsened when the Republican senator criticized chief of staff John Kelly as never having “closed a deal before, politically” and top policy adviser Stephen Miller as being an “outlier” on immigration, according to The Washington Examiner.

“It is almost appalling to me that you have a senator that isn’t stepping up, doing the right thing,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in an interview with Fox News on Monday. “Look, we want to make a deal on DACA. We want to do these things. And the fact that he’s not part of the conversation to help move that ball forward and is instead attacking individual members of the president’s staff, I think, shows...they’re going to blame people for their own failures. And I think it’s time that they stop playing political games, come to the table, get serious and do their jobs.”

Linda thinks he is somehow co-president.

Wrong again, Linda! Because of your behavior, you don’t get to sit at the grown-ups’ table anymore. Go sit at the kiddie table where you belong.

Is kicking Graham out part of the war on women?

WTF is wrong with Graham. Does he really think the people of SC want 2 million illegals LEGALIZED? And no border security and unhindered chain migration?

Who the Hell does he think he is?

According to Democrats, Republicans are hopelessly divided and going to lose.

ijr.com looks like a radical lefty blog.

linda could care less what we South Carolinians want.

Due to open primaries in this state and RATS crossing over to vote for linda, she has a lifetime job. And she knows it. And acts like it.

"Sen. Tom Cotton said his colleague Lindsey Graham is “opinionated but uninformed” on immigration reform during a Thursday interview on MSNBC."

Ha, Ha, I think I read that Linda suggested that Cotton not be included in future discussions.

Karma for Linda Grahmnasty.

We’re trying Jim. Honestly. Our main problem I outlined in #15. Until the legislators here in South Carolina grow some cojones and do away with open primaries, we’ll be stuck with linda.

Little Lindsey Graham got her panties all bunched up; she thought she had Trump conned but her grifting was a total miss. All that obsequiousness, flattery and brown nosing came to naught!

McCain I feel certain is pulling Grahams strings. He is doing what McCain tells him to do. When will AZ governor appoint a replacement for McCain since he is worthless as teats on a boar hog.
