Summary:
In a heated exchange, Senator Lindsey Graham had a meltdown when confronted by journalist Kristen Welker with comments from General Mark Milley, who called Donald Trump a fascist and a danger to the country. Rather than addressing Milley’s concerns, Graham deflected by attacking the Biden administration’s policies on the economy, energy, and foreign affairs. His response reflected the GOP’s broader strategy of distracting from Trump’s authoritarian tendencies by focusing on divisive political issues.
- General Mark Milley called Trump the most dangerous figure in U.S. history, labeling him a fascist.
- Lindsey Graham dismissed Milley’s warning, shifting the conversation to Biden’s policies.
- Graham focused on attacking Biden’s handling of Israel, Ukraine, energy, and the economy.
- Republicans continue to blame Biden for inflation despite the pandemic’s role under Trump.
- Graham’s meltdown reflects the GOP’s strategy of avoiding Trump’s authoritarian legacy.
Lindsey Graham’s meltdown is emblematic of the GOP’s refusal to confront the very real danger that Donald Trump poses to American democracy. Instead of addressing Trump’s authoritarianism, Republicans like Graham continue to deflect by attacking the Biden administration despite the successes Biden has achieved in energy production and foreign policy. Progressives argue that this fear-based deflection distracts from Trump’s fascist tendencies, which Milley and other former officials have courageously called out.
