Lindsey Graham: When Putin Denies Russian Hacking, Trump Needs to Strongly 'Reject His Denial'

by Josh Feldman | 7:46 pm, July 13th, 2018

-snip-

Graham tried to press Trump a little while talking with Martha MacCallum on Fox News tonight:

“Russia didn’t beat Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump did. Russia did interfere in our election, and if I were the President, I would not ask Putin ‘did you do it?’ I would reject his denial. ‘I know you did it and if you continue to do it, we’ll never have a good relationship.'”

“I have a lot of faith in President Trump,” he said. “Bush misread Putin, Putin ran over Obama ’cause he was so weak in the eyes of President Putin.”

MacCallum brought up the indictments of the 12 Russian intel officers on hacking charges, and Graham restated, “I want President Trump to go to meet Putin, I want a better relationship, but when Putin says ‘I didn’t do it,’ I want President Trump to say, ‘I reject that denial. You did do it.'”

He added that the Russians are clearly trying to meddle in the 2018 midterms too.

And so will you believe him when he tells you he rejected Putin’s denial “strongly”? Hook, line and sinker you will. We’re doomed with the likes of you looking out for us.

No one looks good wearing brown lipstick.

Maybe you think you're taking one for the team but kissing Trump's hiney will not guarantee success.

Defending the indefensible only makes sense if the person is in on it. If he is involved, I hope he goes down hard.
