Graham disagrees with Trump. How long until he changes his stance? I say before the end of the day.

I'm willing to bet he will argue the complete opposite later today and say of course, the January 6 committee should be arrested. It happens every single time with him.

She gave him the evil-eye and the "ewwww" look, but didn't say anything.

I'm sorry. Perhaps I'm jaded, I'm beyond thinking that any Republican will take a principled stance against Trump. In fact, I think they've learned from him. Say they oppose whatever opinion, it gets media coverage, then do the opposite. When they inevitably side with Trump, there will be little to no coverage of that turn.

Every single time he's asked for the first time about something he may disagree with Trump on, he seems to give his true opinion. Then like clockwork, a very short time later he changes his statement. Because he does it every time and he flip-flops so quickly, the media actually does consistently point it out (unlike others who may say one thing and do another). It's why he is considered the most pathetic Senator.

Here's a few of his rapid-fire flip-flops:

Lindsey Graham Rapidly Reverses His Take on the Hegseth Allegations: ‘None of It Counts’

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pulled off a flip-flop in near-record time Wednesday, dismissing a litany of misconduct allegations against Pete Hegseth that just a day earlier he called “very disturbing.”

Lindsey Graham Flip-Flops on National Abortion Ban: 1) It's a states' rights issue 2) It's not a states' rights issue.

Sen. Graham flip flops after calling swing state election officials to ask about ballots

The Republican U.S. Senator from South Carolina needs to get his story straight after asserting on Tuesday that he called the Georgia election official “mostly” to push him to tighten restrictions on mail-in ballots in the upcoming Senate run-off elections in the Peach State.

That was a big change from Sen. Lindsey Graham’s initial admission that he called officials in three states including Georgia as part of President Trump’s effort to deny President-elect Joe Biden’s victories in the states.
