Lindsey Graham says Trump is ‘not far behind God’ after he survived primary challenge
Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.
The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.
“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you're not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

Lindsey Graham in 2016
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.
It's almost as if they don't have a spine.
I maintain that based one his behavior since then that Lindsay Graham had to have done something like murdered someone(probably a child) in the middle of a sexual act or something like that, his 180 is too jarring for the dirt to not be the most atrocious
He should have been voted out in a primary a while ago, this is all just to not show off how he's not actually a modern republican.
South Carolina is an ES&S state. It is also a state where miraculously, every time Graham has a real challenger for his seat, like with Jaime Harrison in 2020 when there was a huge and overwhelming drive to get the vote out down there, at the very last second just enough votes come in to keep Graham in his seat.
This is why Lindsey Graham believes in god. Not the ethereal Divine, and certainly not the orange chancre, but for all the times ES&S voting machines have miraculously delivered for him.
His 180 is a simple case of tribalism. The good of the party outranks the good of the cause. Hell most Republicans talked shit about Trump before he was elected, including his own VP.
Same reason some Republican group took down a bunch of rebukes of Ken Paxton immediately after he beat Cornyn.
Honestly, he should have been right. But here we are.
Well, get busy, then.
get busy...?
Okay kevin. No matter what you do he will never respect you.
I think he was going for an Andrew Tate vibe.
And for a final year, we have a season of the boys that was so absurd when it was written, you're shocked anyone greenlit it, only for the Trump admin to make it look like a normal thing.
Redraw with diaper around his ankles.
cult
noun
I like how they include "relatively small" so mainstream Christianity wouldn't fit the definition.
Once you had a certain size I guess we just call it religion.
One distinction I've heard is that in a cult, the people who started it and know it's all bullshit are still alive.
All religions are cults.
A cult is a small unpopular religion and a religion is a large popular cult. I heard this over forty years ago and its the best way to explain it.
Graham has the machines rigged because he should not be winning shit with how much he sucks.
Primaries typically have low turnout. Working people have a harder time getting out to vote so it’s the old and determined racists/homophobes/etc who cast the sway, usually.
God ---> Jesus ---> Felon Rapist Pedophile
God is a notorious egomaniac who’s committed multiple genocides, glassed middle eastern cities, knocked up a teenager who was someone else’s fiancé, sent his goons to threaten her fiancé to accept his cucking, then dipped on child support and let his kid get torture-killed. Hate to say it, Lindsay is correct; Trump is a very God-like man.
Especially the Mormon version, who threatened women with destruction for refusing to spread their legs for Joseph Smith.
I mean their god ain't exactly big on the concept of consent.
He's up for re-election in November. South Carolina needs to do the world a solid and send this asshole packing.
He already won his primary.
... Which is why he's up for reelection in November.
If he'd lost the primary, then he would not be in November's election.
Yes, but the chances of a Democrat winning in South Carolina are not exactly huge. They basically have voted for the incumbent whenever it has been possible since the 1930s. South Carolina senators only change when someone dies or retires.
Lindsay, you stupid whore, did you not see his post? He is literally Jesus Christ. That is who he is to you, anyway, and any other followers of his.
(to everyone else, he is simply a doctor)
I wonder how many little boys Graham has fucked that they have proof of?
If he not that far behind God, I'm not sure I like that God. That's not the God I was taught about.
Maybe God is a 12 year old girl
No, then he'd be right in front of God
You sure about that?
Might be time for a critical reading of the Old Testament
These dinosaur politicians see Trump as a benefit the same way CEOs see AI as a money machine. They don't care what the mechanisms are, or what has to be abandoned/contradicted to use it. They want "number go up."
And that's why we need new folks in Washington (and fewer CEOs).
Trump is the geek biting heads off chickens while the pickpockets work the crowd.
JFC, this guy is utterly shameless.
So thirsty. This is the guy that warned that PEDOnald would be the end of their party, no?
Trump is not far from Satan's sulfurous asshole.
No, he's right!
im just not sure if its Tzeentch, slaanesh, nurgle or khorne. He embodies all of them pretty well.
Trump's spirit is extremely skaven-y. So the Great Horned Rat.
Dude even the rest of the south hates South Carolina. First to secede.
Wait until he comes out of the closet
This is just so utterly pathetic
Lindsay. Toadiest toady that ever toadied (in the last 10 minutes). He knows he’s only there for as long as he’s useful because he’s what they hate. He probably has so much dirt on everyone he’ll fall out of a window before he ever has a chance to leave.
gross
What is god to an atheist?
