.Lindsey Graham Reportedly Called for Law Enforcement to Shoot Jan. 6 Rioters During the Attack: ‘We Give You Guns For a Reason. Use Them.’.


Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reportedly called for law enforcement to gun down the rioters who broke into Congress during the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

The Senate and House leaders also had been evacuated by Capitol Police and taken to an undisclosed location, but many lawmakers remained in their chambers for a few minutes before they were led to safety in the Hart Senate Office Building. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham was irate that senators were forced to flee their own chamber. He yelled at the Senate sergeant-at-arms. “What are you doing? Take back the Senate! You’ve got guns. Use them.” The South Carolina senator was adamant. “We give you guns for a reason,” he repeated. “Use them.”

In the immediate aftermath of the Capitol riot, Graham declared himself politically done with Trump and refused to go along with his colleagues objecting to the certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. But in the months that followed, Graham has fallen back in line — holding up the ex-president as the Republican Party’s leader, and cozying up to him in person.

This may save Graham from being fingered as one of Trump's coconspirators in the violent arm of the coup attempt. And if he wasn't a bowl of Jell-O, he'd grab on this as an opportunity to separate himself from the ongoing coup attempt.

Graham doesn't have to face the voters again until 2026. Even he must realize he doesn't need to kiss Trump's ass anymore.

Graham was never presidential or Senate leader material anyway. His future now is not a matter of great import.

I agree but I doubt he sees it that way.

It’s a shame Pelosi can’t be sober EVER! Damn near chokes on her dentures every time she opens her pie hole!

Hell, the Capitol Police showed amazing restraint. Their officers were getting overrun and beaten, and yet only one of the rioting Deplorable pigs was shot and killed, and she was only shot because of her proximity to Congressional documents at the location where she was entering through a smashed window.

The Deplorables would have never been able to violently break into the Capitol if the National Guard had been in place with the same show of force that was deployed during prior BLM demonstrations at the Capitol.

i've said before, i'll say again: if that had been a parade of black faces rioting and breaking into the capitol, we'd be discussing the 1/6 massacre right now.

The FBI has already said that there appears to be no coordination on January 6. Private citizens who participated have already been charged. At this point Trump is a private citizens. If he hasn't been charge by now, you're SOL. Same goes members of congress. There hasn't one scintilla of evidence. Give it up Nancy.

No they didn't. You're lying.

Donald Trump is an espionage asset of the Russians, has tried--and is still trying--to lead a coup in the United States, which is actively under investigation, and needs to go to prison to ensure others don't try to be as rotten as he is in the future.

You support sedition. Maybe you need to go to prison too. And just possibly, you are an espionage asset of the Russians as well.

Bullshit

Lindsay knew that law enforcement “fighting back” with guns would escalate the entire adventure as Trump wanted

Martial Law was the goal!!

that's an alternative that i hadn't thought of and entirely reasonable.

Ron Johnson acknowledged as much when he said he wasn't scared of the insurrectionists but if they'd been from Black Lives Matter, he'd have been afraid.

If you believe Trump is an espionage asset, then Pizzagate is real and 9-11 was an insider's job. Additionally, you need to get over Jan. 6. People like you are the reason that it will happen again. It looks like you're in full bootlicking mode tonight. I will always support the right of the people to rise up against an oppressive government.

Wrong. And stupid.

Who do you think you're fooling?

So, it was an insurrection?

Call it whatever you want. An insurrection, or a kerfuffle. I've never seen so many people obsessed with who was the better bootlicker.

Ok, bootlicker.

Oh, my goodness. That's just so precious.

Graham lambasted the apparent security failures that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6, telling reporters afterward that he was "embarrassed" and "disgusted" that rioters had been able to breach the building.

"They could have blown the building up. They could have killed us all. They could've destroyed the government," Graham said to reporters one day after the breach. "Lethal force should have been used. ... We dodged a major bullet. If this is not a wake-up call I don't know what is."

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) also noted that Graham "screamed" at the Senate sergeant-at-arms during the attack for not doing "enough" while U.S. senators were sheltering in place.
