Claire McCaskill just destroyed Lindsey Graham

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Senator Claire McCaskill has always been one to fearlessly speak her mind. Now that she’s no longer in office, she’s even more free to call things like she sees them. Yesterday her former colleague Lindsey Graham tweeted a ridiculous (and factually inaccurate) rationale for Donald Trump’s decision to illegally commute his criminal co-conspirator Roger Stone’s prison sentence.

Let’s just say that McCaskill wasn’t impressed with what Lindsey Graham had to say for himself:

You POS. You know the criminal justice system. He didn’t plead guilty. He asked for a jury trial. A jury convicted him of 7 felonies. And you are lying, you know no one gets probation after that. But then, you are now entrenched with the liars. https://t.co/ooQ5QLAsk4

Claire McCaskill then went on to quip that “I think I better quit Twitter for the day.” But she’s absolutely right. Lindsey Graham isn’t merely confused, or taking an opposing position. He’s dishonestly trying to justify a criminal act on Donald Trump’s part. Graham deserves all the criticism he’s receiving and more.
