1. Lindsey Graham reportedly served as both a defense attorney & a prosecutor as an Air Force JAG in the ‘80s. Yet what has he just done? He blindly, uncritically accepts Trump’s “denial” of raping E. Jean Carroll (assuming, Trump’s statement, “she’s not my type” equals a denial)
2. Graham blindly accepts Trump’s “denial” over the claim of a woman who told two friends about what Trump did to her AT THE TIME OF THE RAPE. This contemporaneous reporting can NOT be said to be politically motivated as it occurred decades BEFORE Trump was a politician...
3. Graham blindly accepts Trump’s “denial” even though many women have credibly accused Trump of all manner of sexual assault. Graham blindly accepts Trump’s “denial” even though Trump didn’t just admit he sexually assaults women, he BRAGGED about it!
4. So, in the face of the claims of more than a dozen sexual assault victims & powerful admissions by Trump that he assaults women in exactly the way the victims describe, Graham blindly believes and supports Trump. Graham must have been one heck of a prosecutor...
5. Think about this: Graham credits Trump’s statement that “she’s not my type” but refuses to credit Trump’s statement that he “grabs women by the pu**y” because, “when you’re a star they let you do it.” As a former career prosecutor myself...
6. I can’t imagine more damaging or disrespectful treatment of crime victims. Graham dismisses the claims of the victims while embracing the mocking denial of the abuser. As I’ve said before, there are only two kinds of people who should refuse to vote for Graham - women and men.
