Resurfaced video shows Lindsey Graham arguing for witnesses to testify at Bill Clinton impeachment trial
Now that Mitch McConnell is determined to move forward with an impeachment trial and promises to not call witnesses and only allow rules set by republicans -- despite the fact in the last impeachment trial -- the Senate agreed 100-0 on Senate rules -- there is a video that has resurfaced of Lindsey Graham owning the libs.
Say what you want about Lindsey, but he is a principled conservative who stands on principle and doesn't just change his views based on political winds like most Dem politicians -- so it was refreshing to see him totally owning the libs back in 1999 when he was discussing the importance of witnesses being called in an impeachment trial.
"In a C-SPAN interview from January 1999, Graham, a South Carolina representative at the time, spoke about the reasons he wanted witnesses in Clinton's impeachment. "The whole point that we're trying to make is that in every trial that there's ever been in the Senate, regarding impeachment, witnesses were called," he told C-SPAN. At the time, Graham said that if the Senate didn't "get to call meaningful witnesses" that "you're basically changing impeachment."
Funny how what Lindsey was saying back then is the exact opposite of what he is saying now -- but its what the Dems are saying now -- so he totally triggered them...Because by pretending to be in favor of something he was actually totally against -- he totally knew 20 years later, the Dems would try to impeach a Republican president....total back to the future Democrat ownage -- well played Lindsey....
