| Lindsey Graham: President Trump is 'excited' for 2022 and wants to 'rebuild the Republican Party' |
| 2021-02-15 |
| [Washington Examiner] Sen. Lindsey Graham spoke with Donald Trump following his acquittal in the Senate impeachment trial and said the former president is "excited" for 2022. The South Carolina Republican told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday that the former president was grateful to his lawyers but "ready to move on and rebuild the Republican Party." "He's excited about 2022, and I’m going to go down to talk with him next week, play a little golf in Florida," Graham said, adding that he told Trump, "this MAGA movement needs to continue." When asked if he felt Trump bore any responsibility for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Graham said, "No, in terms of the law, no. He bears responsibility [for] pushing narratives about the election that I think are not sound and not true, but this was politically protected speech. The speech on January the sixth was not an incitement to violence. Every politician has used the word fight, fight hard, so I don't think that he caused the riot." "Could the president have done more? Yes," Graham added. "Did he incite this riot by his speech? Absolutely not." |

| #9 i want to belong to a political party that excludes people like graham and romney. The Democrats are waiting for people just like you. I dont like either of them, especially Romney, but they are better than progressive socialists - Democrats. The GOP can do better in states where they can elect REAL conservatives, like Utah and S. Carolina, but for now its better than nothing. And the 7 traitors are finished, none of them will ever be elected again, and probably that weasel bastard McConnel. Talk like yours gets us disasters like former Sen Doug Jones from Alabama, and those 2 clowns from Georgia. |

| #3 /\ Yes, there's a gaping hole in the fence. It really doesn't matter how many pullets you put in there, tomorrow morning there will be fewer and the next day, fewer still. |

| #2 You won’t affect the outcome of an election until you undo all the Dems unconstitutional election rule changes. |

| #1 I feel like every post about politics should have a big disclaimer "Warning - none of this matters. Dominion controls the outcome." |
