Huckleberry Graham, top toady

He’s still at it.

Sen. Lindsey Graham told a gathering of Republicans that he hopes former President Donald Trump runs in 2024.

“I don’t think Trump is listening. He might be. I hope President Trump runs again,” Graham (R-SC) said at a leadership conference for Michigan’s Republican Party on Saturday, according to the Detroit News.

Puhleeze…

Is this bootlicking dweeb serious? Is he doing some reverse psychology?

Trump, who has been coy about whether he would throw his hat in the ring, came the closest to acknowledging a run in an interview on Friday.

He was asked by David Brody of Real America’s Voice Network if he could name a reason he wouldn’t.

“Well, I guess a bad call from a doctor or something, right?” Trump replied. “I will say, that happens with people.”

Graham has certainly been a most loyal lackey. But as the Post reports:

But that relationship hit some rocky ground last week when a new book claimed Graham did not find Trump’s fraud claims about the 2020 election were credible.

According to “Peril,” the book by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Graham and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) vetted the claims but came away “unpersuaded.”

Trump lashed out at the two for not​ having his back. ​

“Mike Lee, Lindsey Graham and all of the other Republicans who were unwilling to fight for the presidency of the United States, which would have included at least an additional four Republican Senators, two in Georgia, one in Michigan, one in Arizona, are letting the Democrats get away with the greatest election hoax in history — a total con job,” Trump said​ in a statement. 

Graham did not address Trump’s comments in the speech to the Republicans, according to the Detroit News, but said he and the former president have “found common ground.”​

“People ask me, ‘What happened with you and Trump?’” Graham ​said to the gathering. “I say we found common ground. I’ve come to like him and he likes him.”

Hahahaha. He’s so cute.

The Woodward/Costa book also quotes Graham telling Trump that he “fucked up his presidency.” I’m going to guess their source on that was Lindsey Graham. He seems to be trying to have it both ways but he’d better be careful with Dear Leader. He might not take kindly to Graham’s little “jokes.” And if he hopes to erase the stain of his grotesque sycophancy with anyone else, he’d better think again. It will be his epitaph.
