Steve Schmidt destroys Lindsey Graham as a 'professional sidekick' & a bigger 'fraud' than Pence

Steve Schmidt destroys Lindsey Graham as a ‘professional sidekick’ — and a bigger ‘fraud’ than Mike Pence

Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt blasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as a “titanic fraud” for his obsequious loyalty to President Donald Trump.

Schmidt tweeted out a harsh criticism early Wednesday of the South Carolina Republican after Esquire editor Maximillian Potter shared the former Republican’s column from last week that called out Graham as “corrupted by ambition.”

Schmidt wasn’t finished, and he accused Graham of faking outrage over the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

“His ludicrous affectation and faux outrage at the hearings was a moment of beclownment that knows no equal,” Schmidt tweeted. “He is a political careerist and an unequaled sycophant when it comes to finding favor with power. He is a disgrace.”

He tagged Graham to make sure the senator would see his comments.

Not just the written word either. When he is on TV speaking, I sir up straight and listen intently.

If you look up the words "Articulate", "Passion" and "Brilliant", his photo should be next to each of them.

but as soon as he died, Graham is suddenly kissing trump's ass openly, which McCain would never have done.

As a Renfield

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=renfield

A human enabler, assistant, patsy or slave to a psychopath. Just as Milo Renfield is a slave to the pschopath Dracula from the novel.

Makes me wonder who's more evil, that psychopath or her Renfield. She's just doing what's natural for her, but he ought to know better.

Not just above the waist. He's an intellectual lightweight of epic proportions. He's not in the 135 class. He's in the 135 milligram class.

I would love to see him come out with a book about what is going on. He is so articulate yet highly entertaining at the same time.
