South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has warned that we are living in the “most dangerous times since the late ’30s” because of the radical agenda of President Joe Biden and the Democrat Party.
The senator was interviewed by John Catsimatidis and said that the voters in the 2022 midterm elections will be motivated “not based on what happened on Jan. 6, but based on this failed Democratic radical agenda,” The New York Post reported.
That agenda has put the nation in “the most dangerous times since the late ’30s.”
Graham also predicted in the interview that aired Sunday that Republicans would make great gains in November’s election and that former President Donald Trump would win in the 2024 presidential election.
“We’re not a socialist country,” he said.
He noted how Democrats have raised the idea of increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court to offset the current 6-3 conservative majority and efforts to reform or do away with the Electoral College.
“What Democrats are trying to do is tear up the Constitution. They are trying to change the balance of power in this country. … This is the most radical approach to our constitutional checks and balances in my lifetime, and maybe ever. There’s going to be a backlash in 2022,” he said.
He also went after Biden and the Democrats for hammering former President Donald Trump for the incident at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and predicted that it would not help the Democrats win in 2022.
‘It was an effort on his part to create a brazen political moment, to try to deflect from their failed presidency,” he said.
“I was really disappointed in the tone of the president and the vice president — of the politicized Jan. 6. The American people reject what happened on Jan. 6, but come in November 2022 they are going to reject the Democratic Party,” he said.
Last week the president tore into Trump for January 6, but never mentioned him by name.
“For the first time in our history, a president had not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol. But they failed,” he said. “On this day of remembrance, we must make sure that such an attack never, never happens again.”
But Trump smacked him back in a message of his own.
“Biden, who is destroying our Nation with insane policies of open Borders, corrupt Elections, disastrous energy policies, unconstitutional mandates, and devastating school closures, used my name today to try to further divide America,” the former president said in an email to supporters.
“This political theater is all just a distraction for the fact Biden has completely and totally failed. Our Country no longer has Borders, has totally and completely lost control of Covid (record numbers!), is no longer Energy Independent, Inflation is rampant, our Military is in chaos, and our exit, or surrender, from Afghanistan was perhaps the most embarrassing day in the long and distinguished history of the United States—and so much more,” he said.
“Why is it that the Unselect Committee of totally partisan political hacks, whose judgment has long ago been made, not discussing the rigged Presidential Election of 2020? It’s because they don’t have the answers or justifications for what happened. They got away with something, and it is leading to our Country’s destruction.
“They want all conversation concerning the Election ‘Canceled.’ Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. They are not justifiable, so the complicit media just calls it the Big Lie, when in actuality the Big Lie was the Election itself,” the former president said.
“The Democrats want to own this day of January 6th so they can stoke fears and divide America. I say, let them have it because America sees through their lies and polarizations,” he said.
In a second email, he said “Biden is working hard to try and deflect the incompetent job he is doing, and has done, on the horrible Afghanistan withdrawal (surrender), the Borders, COVID, Inflation, loss of Energy Independence, and much more. Everything he touches turns to failure. That’s what you get when you have a rigged Election,” though no evidence has shown any rigging of the election in 2020.
