‘Let me finish!’: Sen. Lindsey Graham barks at ABC News host George Stephanopoulos during testy interview on Trump indictment
NY Post ^ | 06/12/2023 | Jesse O’Neill

Posted on 06/12/2023 7:50:02 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Lindsey Graham and ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos got into a heated back-and-forth during a live interview Sunday about the federal indictment against ex-President Donald Trump.

The South Carolina Republican — who has endorsed Trump as the GOP candidate for president in 2024 — exploded at the “This Week” co-anchor after he was asked to clarify if he believed the former president’s claims that he “did nothing wrong” in the classified documents cases.

“No, let me finish!,” Graham barked.

The tense moment took place just 30 seconds into the interview, after Graham started to compare the case against the candidate to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, which prompted an FBI investigation in the home stretch of the 2016 presidential race, which she ultimately lost to Trump.

George Stephanopoulos....is a pretend “journalist” in my opinion. Here he is helping a Democrat Party candidate correct a gaffe during a phony “interview”.

Do not go on Snuff-a-lup-agous’ show. Arguing and besting a fool gets you nothing.

Graham: “Most Republicans believe we live in a country where Hillary Clinton did similar things and nothing happened to her.

No, Clinton did far worse. She had classified (up to TS) on an UNSECURED and UNAPPROVED computer server which was likely hacked by one or more foreign/hostile intelligence services.

“Hillary Clinton’s private email server containing tens of thousands of messages from her tenure as secretary of state — including more than 400 now considered classified — was the subject of hacking attempts from China, South Korea and Germany after she stepped down in 2013, according to Congressional investigators.”

“The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee has found evidence of attempted intrusions into Clinton’s server in 2013 and 2014, according to a letter Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent Monday to a Florida-based security firm tasked with protecting the hardware.”

https://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/hillary-clinton-email-server-hacked-china-south-korea-germany-214546

“Hillary Clinton’s private email server contained information that was classified at a higher level than “top secret,” the inspector general of the intelligence community told members of Congress in a letter obtained by CBS News.”

Graham can often be terrible, but it was good to see him stick it to this fraudulent “journalist”.

While I didn't see a clip of this, and I don't think much of squishy Graham, I can sympathize with his reaction. Many times, if you are giving a considered answer to a question that has multiple points within it, it is a common aggressive tactic by your interlocuter to interrupt you and not let you finish your point. I have learned to answer their tactical interruption with something like, "Let me finish my answer, and then you can reply. I'll give you as much time as you need." And then I go on, sometimes repeating my previous point (or points) as necessary.

People don't know how to discuss things intelligently anymore or how to properly argue. Arguments, in the proper sense, are a good thing, but it is different that quarreling or trying to shut the other person down,

He’s not even a pretend journalist. He’s a Clinton hack who got hired by ABC. George got his job by being such a good member of the Clinton bimbo eruption team. He’s a leftist propagandist.

The only conserative to stick it to shorty of late was Stephen Miller a while back. Delicious, but over a year ago.

Remember his cover for Biden with an interview right after the Afghanistan debacle?

Generals Contradict Biden on Afghanistan Advice

But in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Aug. 18, Biden denied that his decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan went against the advice of his top military advisers.

Stephanopoulos, Aug, 18: But your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.

Biden: No, they didn’t. It was split. Tha– that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.

Stephanopoulos: They didn’t tell you that they wanted troops to stay?

Biden: No. Not at — not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a time frame all troops. They didn’t argue against that.

Stephanopoulos: So no one told — your military advisers did not tell you, “No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It’s been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that”?

Biden: No. No one said that to me that I can recall.

Two days after that interview, we wrote that Biden’s recollection was contradicted by reporting from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, all of which reported, citing unnamed sources, that early in Biden’s presidency, top military officials recommended Biden keep a small residual force in Afghanistan.

Listen Carefully

How many times does Lindsey Graham say Republican voters believe.

It’s not his opinion, but that’s what these people are going to think.
