Even Lindsey Graham Thinks Donald Trump Is an Asshole
LatestDonald Trump had a very Trump-ish weekend. During a Saturday rally held in Phoenix, the presidential candidate promised a group of nouveau Know-Nothings that he would banish “the illegals.” “This has become a movement,” Trump said. “The silent majority is back, and we’re going to take our country back … the word is getting out that we have to stop illegal immigration.” His comments played well to the sizable crowd who, according to The Guardian, chanted “USA! USA!” and held homemade signs celebrating Trump’s truth-telling.
Now Trump’s fellow Republicans are beginning to push back on his pandering, racist rhetoric. Jeb Bush was the first, and this morning South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham joined the fray. “We have to reject this demagogue,” Graham told CNN. “If we don’t we will lose and we will deserve to lose.”
