Graham makes retribution threats on night of CNN debate. This is nothing other than a call for political tyranny: Graham goes ballistic
This is the face of the GOP. We are in for it: Graham is threatening retribution solely because he is upset that Trump is a felon, due to Trump CONDUCT
quote
South Carolina’s Republican senator Lindsey Graham warned of retribution against Democrats amid Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal cases.
In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday, Graham, a staunch Trump ally, said without evidence, “The Democrats keep calling president Trump a felon. Well, be careful what you wish for. I expect there will be an investigation of Biden’s criminality at the border.”
In May, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in a historic criminal hush money trial that involved adult film star Stormy Daniels and Trump’s attempts to influence the 2016 presidential elections.
Speaking to Bash, Graham continued: “This country is going to have a reset here and using [Joe] Biden’s standard of glorifying political prosecutions, a Pandora’s box has been opened. Whether he steps down or not, accountability is coming to him.”

What Graham just did is to threaten legal retribution on Biden for the fact that Trump due to his criminal CONDUCT is now a felon
This is tyranny. Political tyranny. And Graham needs an intervention
If Graham wishes to pander to the far right as to calling a legal finding of felonious conduct of Donald Trump in need of retribution, he is no different from the little men of the NAZI party which greenlighted the destruction of the WEIRMAR Republic in 1933
Not to be forgotten

Bash, who co-hosted the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump earlier this week, replied: “Sir, you just warned of retribution.”
In response, Graham said: “Yeah. I warned that the Pandora’s box opened by the Democrats is going to be applied here.” The senator went on to point to the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis, saying, “I think the criminality of the Biden border policy should be looked at.”
He also pointed to the Democrat-led House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, saying, “A January 6 committee looking at what happened on January 6, I hope there’ll be a committee looking at border policies that have led to the rape and murder of lots of Americans.”
In Sunday’s interview, Graham also defended Trump’s performance during Thursday’s presidential debate in which Trump repeatedly lied while Biden stumbled through his words.
“I thought he had a very good night… At the end of the day, he was strong, he was clear, he was coherent,” said Graham.
Bash went on to ask Graham if he felt comfortable with Trump’s response to her question on whether he would accept the 2024 election results, regardless if he wins or not. During the debate, Trump said he will accept the results if they are “fair and legal”.
