Graham Tells GOP It Can't Cross Trump
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday advised Republicans not to cross former President Donald Trump like Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., did by voting with 13 other Republicans to allow Democrats a process to raise the debt ceiling.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Graham said “in the end, we did not make [Democrats] use reconciliation” to raise the debt ceiling — an issue Trump has been adamant about, hammering McConnell last week for not using the debt ceiling “to get rid of Build Back Worse.”

“You have to have a working relationship with Donald Trump or it will not work,” Graham said

“I like Senator McConnell but Republicans voted against this and every House Republican but one voted against it,” Graham said of the Democrats’ debt ceiling maneuver. “We promised one thing but delivered another. That was a mistake.”

“The Democrats caused this problem, they need to fix it,” Graham insisted.

“It's really not about the process as much as it's about keeping your word. We let a lot of people down,” he added.

“Sen. McConnell has been a great leader on many things but we are going into an election cycle with the wind at our back,” Graham insisted.

“But when you look forward to this party, Donald Trump is the most consequential Republican in the entire history of the Republican party, maybe besides Ronald Reagan. You have to have a working relationship with Donald Trump or it will not work,” he declared.

Graham also disputed that 2017 tax cuts were not paid for, and asserted the House should “re-vote” on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan for social program and climate spending.

“We voted knowing that cutting taxes, we believed, would be good,” Graham said of massive tax cuts passed in 2017, adding, “I am against extra spending.”

Isn't there a gofundme to get Lindsey some more kneepads?

He goes through a lot of them.

Now this is interesting, Chris is pissed that Trump gave him covid and near killed him, but I think he wants Donald out of the way for his own political purposes. As a former prosecutor he knows that Trump and his henchmen are fucked, he especially knows Trump is fucked several ways including in NY and that the hammer will drop soon.

Chris Christie Says Capitol Riot 'Driven From the Top' as Feud With Trump Intensifies

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Sunday said that the January 6 Capitol riot was "driven from the top" in an apparent reference to former president Donald Trump and his allies.

"All the things that you see were driven from the top," Christie said during an appearance on ABC's This Week, in response to host George Stephanopoulos' comment about the events that led up to the Capitol riot, including the role of those loyal to Trump in the White House during his presidency.

"It may explain why the former president and his allies are working so hard not to cooperate," said Stephanopoulos.

Christie responded: "The [former] president made it very clear that he did not want to concede the election, that he would not concede the election, and you got a bunch of people around him by the time we got to the end, with very few exceptions, that were C-team players, at best, on their best day."

Those C-team players, Christie said, would tell the former president what he wanted to hear despite people "on the outside" telling him that "this is over and you need to concede."

"He didn't want to hear that. So he went to the C-team players and got that," Christie added.

The former Republican governor said that the January 6 committee's investigation will eventually reveal the facts relevant to the Capitol attack, but he added, "Let's not kid ourselves. This was a driven-from-the-top process executed by C-team players. And that's why it looks like a Keystone Cops operation, because it was."

Newsweek contacted Trump's office for comments but didn't hear back in time for publishing.

Christie's remarks come amid an intensifying feud with Trump over the former president's claims of a "rigged" 2020 presidential election. Last month Christie challenged those claims during a speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition conference in Nevada.

"We can no longer talk about the past and the past elections—no matter where you stand on that issue, no matter where you stand, it is over," he said.

Trump pushed back against Christie's remarks shortly after in a statement: "Chris Christie, who just made a speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) in Las Vegas, was just absolutely massacred by his statements that Republicans have to move on from the past, meaning the 2020 Election Fraud...Everybody remembers that Chris left New Jersey with a less than 9% approval rating—a record low, and they didn't want to hear this from him!"

Christie responded to Trump's attacks in an interview with Axios where he said: "I'm not gonna get into a back-and-forth with Donald Trump. But what I will say is this: When I ran for re-election in 2013, I got 60% of the vote. When he ran for re-election, he lost to Joe Biden."

The former governor supported Trump and his policies and said that he voted for him in the 2016 and 2020 elections. He's remained coy about whether he'll run for president in 2024.

Beauty. That's what Trump gets for forcing Christie to eat Meat Loaf by ordering it for him at a White House Lunch when Christie said he'd preferred to order something else + he gave him Covid and with Christies co-morbidities?

i'd be rabid..Trump didn't invent the enemies list.
