QOTD: Lindsey Graham
by digby
There’s no need to watch Trump’s “foreign policy speech”. Just read Lindsey Graham’s tweets and you’ll get the gist:
Robert Costa put it more seriously:
Trump’s big picture critique of “Obama-Clinton” foreign policy: “humiliations” abroad and a lack of “respect” for U.S. has led to “weakness”— Robert Costa (@costareports) April 27, 2016
The thing is that Graham, for all his protestations, has contributed to that belief among many, many Republicans by constantly going on TV and acting like Chicken Little, saying that we’re about to be overrun by ISIS and we should run for our lives. He set the table for this nonsense and Trump is just reaping the reward.
That notion that the country is being “humiliated” and “disrespected” by foreigners has historically led some dangerous demagogues to do some very bad things. I’m sure you some notorious examples come immediately to mind.
Update: Lol
