Initially, South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham competed against former President Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and warned voters via tweet in May of that year, “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.” But he eventually became a Trump ally, defending him through much of his presidency.
However, on Jan. 6, 2021, he believed that the horror going on around him at the Capitol would end the Trump years and unite the country once again.
“We’ll actually come out of this thing stronger. Moments like this reset. People will calm down. People will say, ‘I don’t want to be associated with that.’ This is a group within a group,” Graham said in the new audio recording (via CNN). “What this does, there will be a rallying effect for a while, the country says, ‘We’re better than this.'”
Reporter Jonathan Martin then asked Graham a revealing question about President Joe Biden. “Biden will help that, right?” Martin said, with Graham replying, “Totally, he’ll be maybe the best person to have, right? I mean, how mad can you get at Joe Biden?”
Apparently, Graham has since changed his tune about the current president. When Yahoo! asked his office to respond to the audio, they were told that the senator feels differently now due to what he calls Biden’s “far-left agenda.”
