The evidence continues to grow that Trump didn’t just incite the attack. He also funded and helped to plan it. Lindsey Graham is offended because he is can’t handle the reality that he and his former president built the insurrection.
Graham was one of the voices who backed Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen, and he may have committed the crime of election interference by pressuring Georgia officials to throw out votes for Joe Biden.
Republicans, such as Sen. Graham can invent any excuse that they want, but they are defending the indefensible.
There is no justification that Republicans can dream of that would be strong enough to support voting not to convict Donald Trump.
The fact that Republicans are insulted by reality perfectly sums up the state of the dying Republican Party.
