Lindsey Graham: ‘I Don't Know What America First Means'
2017-01-23
[Breitbart] Sunday on CBS’s "Face the Nation," while discussing President Donald Trump’s inaugural address calling for his policy to be informed by putting "America first," Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-SC) said, "I don’t know what America first means."

Graham said, "To the president, if America first is a throwback to the 20’sand 30’s isolationism when it was first used as a phrase, the world would deteriorate even quicker, if it is a new way of Ronald Reagan’s peace through strength I would like to work with him. I don’t know what America first means."
Poor helpless wanker. I could explain it to him over a beer, but I don't drink with people that dull and uninspiring.

#17  America first doesn't' mean Israel/UK/Australia/Canada and others can't all be tied for second. It just means America first.

Using the phrase is, per Mr. Stein, an affront to the Jewish Community.


They're part of America, too. Or does he prefer the Muslim-first policies of Obama?

#14  SC will elect Republicans, period...the only way to get rid of him is a primary challenge, and he faced a divided primary with no strong candidates running against him in 2014. However, he should be very afraid of Mick Mulvaney or Nikki Haley in 2020.

#13  Rob Crawford, funny to think about. The losers prefer to be in the minority party. Perhaps their attitude would infect the Democrats and keep them in the wilderness a bit longer.

#12  If you want to drink with someone from SC, try Senator Tim Scott. I saw him speak at the March for Life a few years ago. That man can preach!

#10  I can't explain Lindsey Graham. For example, why do the good people of SC keep electing him?

#1 Skidmark. but I don't drink with people that dull and uninspiring. Skidmark, you've got a lot of leeway in choosing drinking partners. No one is as dull and uninspiring as Lindsey Graham.

#9  Watched Judge Jeanine last evening.

Ben Stein almost blew an O-ring discussing Charles Lindbergh and the Nazi implications of "America First."

Using the phrase is, per Mr. Stein, an affront to the Jewish Community.

#8  What the hell is up with SC that they keep electing this turd?

Trump has made it clear that America First means that we shouldn't be pretending to be Globalist Citizens of the world. Of course for some it's not a pretense, yeah graham cracker I'm looking at you.

#7  Once again, someone from 'across the pond' (UK?)has more insight into the US than the average media mogul.

#6  "will this be good for America" before agreeing to deals...

Unlike Obama.

Who put America last.

#3  Sound like Graham may actually be telegraphing a turnaround.

#2  You don't know what anything means.

I don't know that I would choose to be seen with him in a bar. Maybe behind bars.
