After Trump Fires Jeff Sessions, Video of Lindsey Graham Explaining What Would Happen Sessions Is Fired Re-Emerges Online, and Hoo Boy

Your move, Senator.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is one of President Donald Trump's most tenacious allies. He starkly defended the president's Supreme Court nominee (now Justice) Brett Kavanaugh during Kavanaugh's nomination hearings, calling them a "sham" in a nearly five minute diatribe. Most recently, he supported the President's move of eliminating birth right citizenship, calling it an "absurd policy," and vowing to introduce legislation against it.

But it wasn't always this way, and now that's coming back to haunt Graham.


This week, as Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned at President Trump's request, video of Graham discussing the then-hypothetical situation of Sessions being fired resurfaced.

In the video, Graham says:

"If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay. Any effort to go after Mueller would be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency."

Twitter's response? Holy hell.

But many think they know the motivation behind Graham's sudden kowtowing to the president, and suddenly this all makes sense.

Donald Trump has lampooned Sessions since the Attorney General recused himself from the Russia investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Many have speculated that Graham became pro-Trump in an effort to replace Sessions as Attorney General when Sessions was inevitably booted from the administration.

That's why many seem to believe that Sessions will now begin distancing himself from his previous comments.

Maybe he'd use a similar excuse he employed when answering for his "race-baiting, xenophobic bigot" statement:

 "No, I don't think he's a xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot — as president."

For his part, Graham has said that he intends to remain in the senate.

But some seem to think that it will hold about as much water as his "holy hell to pay" assertion.

It's quite possible that Sessions's replacement--whomever that may be--would imperil the Mueller investigation because Sessions' hesitation to do so was what soured his relationship with Trump.

And the show continues...

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
