Lindsey Graham Cries To Fox News About Everyone Hating Him

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on Fox News this week to whine about the fact that his opponent, Jaime Harrison, is outraising him and that Graham himself is getting killed financially. He then lamented that all of this money is flowing to Harrison because people hate Graham's guts, a statement that is actually pretty accurate. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening and whether it will matter in the long run.

This week, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is locked in a heated battle to retain his Senate seat in South Carolina, he went on Fox news on Fox and friends Thursday morning to whine about the fact that one he's getting financially slaughtered by his opponent, Jamie Harrison, and two, everybody hates him. They just hate poor Lindsey Graham, who apparently has done nothing wrong, nothing to deserve this universal hatred that he has received from across the country. Uh, take a look at Lindsey Graham whining to Fox news about one losing the money race, and two being universally hated. Here it is.

My opponent will raise almost a hundred million dollars Ainsley in the state of South Carolina. The most money ever spent in the history of the state on a Senate race was by me in 2014 when I spent 13 million. He raised $6 million from the time justice Ginsburg passed away within 72 hours. And God bless justice Ginsburg. We're celebrating her life. I appreciate waiting to Saturday to announce the replacement, but I'm being killed financially. This money is cause they hate my guts.

They I hate my guts. They hate my guts. Uh, you know, it reminds me of another Southern Senator who everybody pretty much hated his guts. And he was getting outraged by his opponent tremendously. That man was Ted Cruz just two short years ago when Beto O'Rourke seemed like he was going to come along and absolutely in the national nightmare, that is Ted Cruz. Having a holding federal office came close, man, raised money from all over the country. People that even couldn't even vote in the Texas race, sending Beto O'Rourke money. And we all know how that story turned out. And unfortunately, I think that is what we're looking at right now with Jamie Harrison. Now, Jamie Harrison is going to do what Beto O'Rourke did show the country that this red red seat, it actually is red as we think it is that it could budge. I mean, he's already shown that right now, even without all of this out of state money that is flowing in because yes, folks, that is where the money is coming from.

Mostly he did raise millions of dollars in the 72 hours after Ginsburg's passing that didn't come from South Carolina, that didn't, that came from all over the country. People saying, I want Lindsey Graham gone and it's great. It helps Harrison. But at the same time, it results in stories like this that give people a false sense of hope. And I hate to be the hope killer. I don't like being a dream killer, but let's be realistic folks. Lindsey Graham is going to come close to losing his seat this year. But Lindsey Graham is going to retain his seat this year. I think that's a sad reality, but I think we all have to live in reality. It's not always flattering. It's not always fun. It's not always what we want it to be, but it's always the truth. And that is what we always have to remember. I still think we fight like hell, because there is a chance. There is a chance we can take Lindsey Graham seat.

I just don't know that we're there yet. Jamie Harrison's good candidate. I hope he pulls this off. I would love to see him sitting in the U S Senate. I would love to see Lindsey Graham forced to retire before he wants to. Lindsey Graham is a corrupt, absolutely disgusting, pathetic little weasel.
