Graham: GOP wants a Democrat ‘that’s not crazy’ for shutdown talks

“We’ll have offers on the table when we find somebody that’s not crazy to deal with,” Graham said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “We’re not going to put any offers on the table as long as people in charge of these negotiations accuse all of us who want a wall of being a racist.”
He did not refer to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) by name, but criticized her answer to a question of whether she would be open to putting one dollar toward funding the border wall. “A dollar? A dollar? Yeah, one dollar,” she told reporters Thursday.
Graham expressed willingness to negotiate instead with Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who appeared on the CBS program before him.
“When you see Dick Durbin and others in the room, not a bunch of staffers, when you see this rhetoric that those who want to build a wall are racist stop, when you see the idea one dollar’s enough for the wall, when that stuff ends, the real negotiations begin,” he said.
“Right now, the people running the show on the left are radical liberal Democrats who don’t see a border security problem, they see their own government being the problem,” he said. “There’s a deal to be had here, but it will include a wall.”............................

That's demanding.
There's ZERO room for true negotiation in a comment like this. It's basically saying that the only real is the one YOU want.
And yes, if you want a 'YUGE' wall to keep the brown people out, while looking the other way and ignoring that WHITE OVER STAYS are a much bigger percent of those here illegally then YOU.ARE.A.RACIST.
Gads but I'm sick of the incredible, blatant and constant hypocrisy of these TrumpliCons.
