Biden’s Press Secretary Claims Lindsey Graham Is Gay

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Editor’s note: this article was originally published by Restoring Liberty in February 2021 but, perhaps due to Lindsey Graham’s recent controversial statements about assassinating Russia’s President Putin, it was again one of our top stories this past week.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted a gay slur at Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham late 2020, a tweet from August shows.

“Only in 2020 does #LadyG get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning @SallyQYates (aka an American hero),” Psaki tweeted in August 2020, before she assumed her role in the White House.

Psaki’s reference to “Lady G” refers to rumors that have circulated on social media about Graham’s sexuality. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Graham’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

The Biden administration has repeatedly said that it will prioritize expanding the rights of LGBTQ persons. Biden released an executive order January 21 on preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.

Senator Blames Pelosi for Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lindsey Graham suggested Sunday Nancy Pelosi is to blame for thousands of pro-Trump protesters breaching the Capitol earlier this month, claiming it is the House Speaker’s job to provide Capitol security.

‘To see people come and take over the Capitol – the House and the Senate – beat officers, defile the seat of government. How in the hell could that happen? Where was Nancy Pelosi? It’s her job to provide Capitol security,’ the South Carolina Republican, and staunch ally of President Donald Trump said during an interview on ‘Sunday Morning Futures.’

He added: ‘We’ll get to the bottom of that.’

The Capitol protest left hundreds injured and five dead, including a Capitol Police officer who was hit over the head by a rioter with a fire-hydrant. (Read more from “Senator Blames Pelosi for Capitol Riot” HERE)

WATCH: Lindsey Graham Announces Dates and Timeline for SCOTUS Confirmation

/1 Comment/in , /by

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham appears on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the latest DC events surrounding senate investigations and the confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Senate Judiciary hearings begin October 12th, committee nomination likely October 22nd to Mitch McConnell.

As an outcome of his own can-kicking and ‘over-promise/under-deliver’ disappointments Senator Graham has diminished support from the republican base in South Carolina. As a direct result, Graham uses this appearance to request money for his own reelection effort.

Senator Makes Stark Claim as Senate Looks Into Police Departments’ Use of Force

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Lindsey Graham kicked off a Senate hearing Tuesday on police brutality by contrasting his experience with police with that of his fellow South Carolina GOP colleague Sen. Tim Scott to illustrate the problem with policing today and to make the case for federal reform legislation. . .

“Tim and I have completely different experiences with the cops,” Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in his opening remarks. “There is no getting around that. It is now time to have an honest conversation about why is that? How can it be that if you’re a United States senator from South Carolina, and you’re black, you get stopped five or six times? And you’re white, you never get stopped?”

Graham said he’s learned to understand the fright black men have of police and how getting pulled over can be a “traumatic experience.”

“Every black man in America apparently feels threatened when they’re stopped by the cops,” Graham said. “It’s not 99 percent. It’s like 100 percent.”

“I’ve never been stopped,” Graham, R-S.C., continued. “And when I see a cop behind me, the first thing I think about is ‘what did I do wrong and can I talk myself out of this ticket.’ There’s literally no fear. And I wouldn’t like to live in a country where I’d be afraid to be stopped.” (Read more from “Senator Makes Stark Claim as Senate Looks Into Police Departments’ Use of Force” HERE)

Senator Says He’s Been Denied Access to FBI Employees Who Interviewed Key Dossier Source

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that he has been denied access to interview an FBI agent and an FBI analyst who met with a key source for the Steele dossier who disavowed the salacious document.

Graham has sought interviews with the FBI case agent and supervisory intelligence analyst to discuss their interview in January 2017 with the primary source for Christopher Steele, the former British spy who investigated the Trump campaign for Democrats.

Steele’s source disputed many of the allegations attributed to him in the dossier, which the FBI used to obtain surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The FBI and Justice Department failed to disclose those red flags in applications to federal judges for authority to surveil Page.

“I made a request to interview the case agent and the intel analyst…and they’re denying me the ability to do that,” Graham said in an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” . . .

Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, did not say whether the FBI or the Justice Department have blocked his request to interview the FBI employees. (Read more from “Senator Says He’s Been Denied Access to FBI Employees Who Interviewed Key Dossier Source” HERE)

Graham: Senate Should Punish China ‘Severely’ for Causing Pandemic; WHO Head Cries Racism to Cover for His Enabling of China’s Lies About Coronavirus

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the Chinese government is to blame for the coronavirus pandemic, which caused American deaths and record unemployment.

Graham said, “The first thing I want to do is get the United States Senate on the record where we, we don’t blame Trump, we blame China. The Chinese government is responsible for 16,000 American deaths and 17 million Americans being unemployed. It’s the Chinese government and the way they behave that led to this pandemic. This is the third one to come out of China. I want to make our response to this so overwhelming that China will change its behavior.” (Read more from “Graham: Senate Should Punish China ‘Severely’ for Causing Pandemic” HERE)

WHO Head Cries Racism to Cover for His Enabling of China’s Lies About Coronavirus

By New York Post. In answer to global complaints that he helped China lie about the coronavirus threat in the crucial early days of the pandemic, the World Health Organization’s top dog has opted to play the race card.

That’s right: WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is complaining that Taiwan is fostering supposedly racist attacks against him, and even death threats.

But he can’t even offer details beyond saying he’s been called names, “black or negro.”

In reality, the whole world has legitimate gripes about TAG’s blatant and loathsome loyalty to Beijing — apparent payback for China’s role in installing him as WHO’s boss.

All through January, Tedros and his minions vouched for Chinese authorities’ lies about the coronavirus, misleading other nations’ health authorities into underestimating the threat. (Read more from “Who Head Cries Racism to Cover for His Enabling of China’s Lies About Coronavirus” HERE)

Alleged 2016 Election Interference: Senator Calls for Investigation Into Biden Ukraine-Connection (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on Sunday for the Department of Justice to investigate “all things Ukraine” after a scandal involving Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has made national news in recent days.

The Republican appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo where he called for the DOJ to investigate the Biden-Ukraine connection the same way that the DOJ investigated the Trump-Russia connection.

“Joe Biden said everybody’s looked at this and found nothing,” Graham said. “Who is everybody? Nobody’s looked at the Ukraine and the Bidens. Nobody’s looked at the role the Ukraine played in the 2016 election.”

“Do you think the media in America would really look at it and report on it if there was something bad for the Bidens or are they unduly interfered in the 2016 election?” Graham continued. “I’m calling for somebody in the Justice Department to look at all things Ukraine. We have looked at all things Russia and Trump, his family, everything about his family, every transaction between the Trump campaign and Russia.” Graham said.

“Now it’s time to see whether or not the Ukrainians released information regarding Manafort, who was Trump’s campaign manager. What relationships, if any, did the Biden world have to the Ukraine,” Graham continued. “What role, if any, did the Ukraine play in the 2016 election? So nobody’s looked at this, but somebody should. So I’m hoping the Department of Justice will look at the Biden-Ukraine connection like we looked at the Trump-Russia connection.”

Lindsey Graham Chimes in on Declassifying Russia Probe Document and Dems Won’t Like What He Has to Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace he believes the former intelligence officials that oppose the declassification of documents relating to the Russia probe “are worried about being exposed.”

“I was one of the Republicans insisting that [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller be allowed to do his job. I never thought it was a witch hunt. The Mueller report is in. No collusion,” Graham said. “You know Mueller didn’t do anything on obstruction. Now I’m insisting that we get to the bottom of this, all of the documents around the FISA warrant application released.

“I want to find out exactly how the counterintelligence operation began,” Graham said. “I think transparency is good for the American people. Not one Democrat seems to care,” Graham said. “I wish some Democrat would come forward to find out if the FISA court was defrauded by the FBI and the Department of Justice.” . . .

“Critics make two points, particularly about this issue of declassifying because these are, after all, the crown jewels of the intelligence community, including, reportedly, the identity of a key informant who was close to Vladimir Putin,” Wallace said. “Here are the two questions they raise: one, can Barr be trusted with these secrets and two, can he be trusted not to cherrypick the information to make a case for the president?”

Graham’s ‘Solution’ to the Border Wall Funding Is Sure to Find Objections From Conservatives

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) believes he has a solution to the border wall funding fiasco that resulted in a shutdown of the federal government. He proposes giving President Donald Trump the $5 billion he’s asked for to build the wall along the southern border. In exchange, DREAMers would be given legal status, something Democrats have been pushing for. He detailed his solution on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

“The one thing I know for sure is nothing will get out of the Senate without wall/border funding and Democrats are not going to give us money for a wall/border security without getting something themselves,” Graham explained. “So here’s what I think might work: $5 billion for wall/border security – Democrats have voted for more than that in the past – married up with the BRIDGE Act, which Sen. Durbin and I wrote, a three year, one-time renewable work permit for the DACA population, about 700,000.”

Graham also said those living in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), like those fleeing civil war or hurricane wreckage, could also receive temporary, renewable status to stay in the United States. . .

Here’s the thing though: conservatives are tired of continually compromising on illegal immigration, especially when it comes to DREAMers. We continually go through this immigration fight and what always happens? We allow some kind of amnesty to take place, although Republicans are very careful not to use that word. In exchange for receiving border wall funding we have to make exceptions that allow people who are already here to stay.

Senator Makes a Suggestion for Ocasio-Cortez After She Defends Caravan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), fresh off her underdog congressional win in New York, is quickly distancing herself from the Trump White House. While the president is sending troops down to the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent the 7,500-strong migrant caravan from entering the U.S., Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Sunday that we have nothing to fear from these individuals who are simply seeking asylum.

. . .

Graham followed up that suggestion with a list of reasons why he would not stand for the migrant caravan, including messages like this:

“Americans want an immigration policy which we control, not one where illegal immigrants control us. We are a nation of immigrants. We are also a kind and generous people. But Americans will not be played for fools.”

Graham reminded his followers that he’s worked to fix America’s immigration system for over a decade, so he may know a thing or two about what will or won’t work. He reached out to Democrats, many of whom he knows have hearts of compassion, entreating them to work with Republicans on first securing the border.

Still, Ocasio-Cortez and others have criticized border patrol agents for using aggressive tactics like pepper spray and tear gas to repel migrants from the U.S. border. Some of those rushing toward the border, however, hurled rocks at those agents, making the pepper spray “absolutely” the right decision, according to the Border Patrol Foundation.
