Since @LindseyGrahamSC seems hellbent on redefining hypocrisy to protect Trump, let’s look back on what this man used to claim to believe about impeachment, SCOTUS appointments, witnesses at impeachment trials, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden BEFORE he was compromised (THREAD)
.@LindseyGrahamSC used to claim that defying subpoenas was an impeachable offense. Trump and the members of his administration have defied DOZENS of subpoenas since he took office.
.@LindseyGrahamSC used to claim that Donald Trump was “a kook” and “a xenophobic race-baiting religious bigot” who was “unfit to be President.”
.@LindseyGrahamSC used to claim that impeachment trials must have witnesses in order for them to fully get to the bottom of the truth and for there to be accountability.
.@LindseyGrahamSC used to claim that “you don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job...your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role....Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”
.@LindseyGrahamSC used to claim “If you can't admire @JoeBiden as a person then probably you've got a problem, you need to do some self-evaluation....He is as good a man as God ever created.”
.@LindseyGrahamSC famously tweeted in May of 2016: “If we nominate Donald Trump, we will get destroyed...and we will deserve it.” 
@LindseyGrahamSC: what prompted your complete reversal on everything you used to claim to believe in? How can anyone trust a single word you say when you are on tape saying the exact opposite? You are a spineless sycophantic traitor who should resign.
