A nuanced attempt by Sen. Linsey Graham (R-SC) to assert that the U.S. should never have been in the position to have to launch the Normandy invasion 80 years ago fell with a thud on Sunday morning after he told a CBS host that D-Day was a "failure."Discussing battling Russian President Vladimir Put...
Lindsey Graham doesn’t hold a single real position on any issue, other than “what currently benefits me the most?”
As with most politicians. But do you have any actual evidence to support the idea that Graham’s support of Ukraine is not genuine?
Yes. His name is Lindsey Graham. A staunch anti-Trumper until it was detrimental to him too continue to be so.
Sorry, I was asking you for evidence about his position on Ukraine. Since you presented unrelated evidence, I’m afraid you’re going to lose two bars of health.
Go away, bot.
Nope I just completely made it up off the top of my head to be a silly guy. Lindsey actually has an impeccable track record of never flip flopping his words or voting against his own stated stances on issues. It’s why he’s known as one of the greatest and most reputable congresspersons of our generation. He’s more than earned the benefit of the doubt wouldn’t you say?
Got it, so you don’t have any evidence.

Graham is a flip-flopping spineless coward. You can tell that because they put a ‘R’ behind his name.
Interesting, thank you. It appears there is evidence that he’s not fully supportive of Ukraine.
Nope I completely made it up! Certainly Lindsey Graham will never change his stance on Ukraine, that would be a silly thing to think given his historic track record of staying on the same side of issues. I should continue reading and believing things that Lindsey Graham says
I understand that this whole thread is just about repeating unsubstaniated bullshit about a shitty person because he’s a shitty person, you don’t have to keep telling me that.
I guess the difference is that I care about whether the things I’m saying are actually true, even when I’m talking about someone I personally dislike.
The things you’re saying are not true.
For example?
That Graham genuinely supports Ukraine.
I just noticed your username. It checks out, and everything makes sense now. Are you an AI bot?
Oh but you and I agree. We both love defending Lindsey Graham and giving him the benefit of the doubt because he’s earned it. Keep on fighting the good fight brother
Well, but now I’m not so sure. Maybe we should start just embracing whatever things “feel true,” whether or not they correspond to reality. Like, we have these facts that are supported by evidence, but what if we had, let’s call them, “alternative facts.” Maybe what really matters is how true something feels to us, a sort of “truthiness,” if you will. If we untether ourselves from evidence, think of all the things we could say! Like, what if we said Trump was operating a sex trafficking ring in the basement of a pizza shop, and accused anyone pushing back or asking for evidence of “defending Trump?”
I call it, “Blue MAGA.” I know you’re all about making sure claims are based on evidence even when they’re about people you don’t like, but I really think you might like that idea.
One point of clarification friend. I never said Lindsey does not support Ukraine. I said his reason for supporting anything is always self-serving, which there is mountains of evidence of. You could wave your hand and do the centrist “whatabout” all politicians being self-serving. But the fact is that Lindsey Graham is one of the most obvious modern examples of flip flopping on issues to benefit himself. If you have a counter example I’d love to read about it.
My original point is that it really doesn’t matter what someone like Lindsey says or supports today, because it will change with the wind tomorrow (when he’s up for election usually)
You took what I said and made a beautiful little Blue MAGA strawman out of it.
