'Disgrace': Lindsey Graham slammed as he aims drowning threat at Greta Thunberg

Source: msn.com



Story by Jennifer Bowers Bahney • 16m •


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is coming under fire for what some called a "threat" he made aimed at Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Over the weekend, Thunberg joined other activists on a ship carrying aid from Sicily to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.....


........................


"Hope Greta and her friends can swim!" he wrote.

Social media users immediately pounced on Graham's comment as a "threat."


"Why is a 69-year-old U.S. senator joking about the drowning of a 22-year-old Swedish activist?.........
...............

The account @Darkiora, followed by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie wrote, "Just casually threatening the life of a young girl that wants to feed a starving besieged population where half are children. How do Americans accept this behavior.".....................

Lindsey is Trump's catspaw and has been for years. He is clearly being blackmailed by Trump who is threatening to to out him even though the entire GOP already knows about him but the public does not. Whenever he criticizes Trump he's back on board in two days, clearly after receiving a threatening phone call. Laura Loomer outed Graham but he never said a word in his own defense as she clearly dislikes him and Trump never came to Lindsey's defense.

cruel, malevolent, greedy , stupid and stewing in their false grievances to justify their hatred.
So thankful every day we are not like them.

Bad build, bleach blonde, Butch loud mouth threatening someone that could beat the shit out of him. And that would require some serious beating with that tator sack of full seasoned bull shit.
If there was a God, assholes like him, Musk, Trump and the whole damn KKKlan would be fighting cancer, not a good man like PRESIDENT Joe.
Heard a lyric today from Jesse Wells, “everyone will seem nice after you meet Satan”. (Referring to MAGA’s seeming nice) I so disagree Jesse, and I love your lyrics most the time.
Trump and his Fox Trained Staff are as evil as it gets. They funnel every wish of Satan, on the coat tail of Christ. Yet go unpunished.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Another amusing republican "funny." You guys are amazing, Lindsey. I suggest you and Joni team up and go on the road! What could possibly be more hilarious than a young woman risking her life to help Palestinians in need? You soulless bastard!

with all the air traffic problems in the U.S. and Lindsey's trips over seas, I wonder if the senator can fly?
So how well do you know your pilot, Lindsey?
Just asking for a human.
Maybe flapping his arms as much as his mouth...nah!
