‘Hope they all get prosecuted,’ SC’s Lindsey Graham says 6 months after Capitol riot
The State ^ | 7/6/2021 | MAAYAN SCHECHTER

Six months after a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on the day Congress certified the November election results, South Carolina’s U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters he hopes all the offenders are prosecuted.

“I was there. It was shameful, it was despicable, and the people who did it need to go to jail,” the Seneca Republican told reporters Tuesday ahead of a meeting of the Easley Rotary Club.

“The people who breached the Capitol committed a crime. They defiled their Capitol. That was not a peaceful protest, and I hope they all get prosecuted,” Graham told reporters Tuesday. “This is not democracy. That was anarchy. I think it’s important to understand the difference between peaceful protest and a riot.”

The only way the Graham could ever get elected again is by using the vote fraud system that he helped to create.

Remember when the RNC didn’t stab voters in the back so they could please the Democrats?

Yeah, me neither.

Yet he’ll be on with Vannity acting like a patriot, and President Trump will likely still invite him to various events. I’d dump this traitor in a heartbeat.

He’s good one moment and bad the next. Very odd, since he was one of the Senators physically attacked by the leftist mob when walking back from the Capitol after the SOTU…yet he’s not calling for their prosecution.

Linda seems to have transitioned into an angry lesbian. How tedious.

Haha, he’s still mad over the airport verbal thrashing. He probably had flashbacks.

Bwahahahaha!!!

Flimsey Grahamnesty should have been taken out in the primary in 2014 after his THIRD amnesty vote, but SC voters have re-elected him TWICE since then.

The only reason he was even mildly supportive of Trump was ‘cause Trump had the goods on him. Everyone in DC knows he’s homosexual.

Hannity still thinks that 99% of the FBI are good guys.

I think maybe 1% may be decent but I doubt they will remain much longer.

He may have been referring to the FBI informants and agitators embedded in huge numbers to the protesters. And that’s a fact.

One does not maintain a network show by speaking of unpleasantness which gets network executives home visits, phone and email data ordered up from the NSA, and black sedans following the wife around, courtesy of the swamp.

Hannity knows very well just how far to go with criticism of the rulers and their henchmen.

Graham: That day in January I was so nervous my hands were shaking. So many people out there. I went right home and pulled the quilt up to my nose in bed. It took me days to settle down.

1/6 is NOTHING compared to what should be done. It’s time to water that liberty tree.

Hannity seems to have ‘moved on’ too - doesn’t much want to talk about TRUMP and 2020 any more...he’s gotten the heat and ‘only wants future “fair” elections’ now it seems...RINO talk only!

Exactly, held my nose because I didn’t wish to lose the Senate. I will not ever vote for him again. It just doesn’t matter. Two wings of the same bird.
