Lindsey Graham got so rattled during his interview with Dana Bash he was practically spitting at the camera after the CNN host refused to adhere to his one-sided narrative.
Graham is trying to re-frame the entire women's health issue/abortion debate into late-term abortion only. That is a very, very, small percentage of abortions performed. Many of those are to ensure the survival of the mother or in the event a fetus has already passed away.
Speaking as if he has replaced Pat Robertson on the CBN, Goober Graham kept repeating the words “barbaric” and “abortion on demand.”
GRAHAM: I welcome this debate. I think the Republican Party will be in good standing to oppose late-term abortion, like most of the civilized world.
BASH: Just for the record, Roe went up to viability, but I just want to button this up. The...
(Graham interrupted and began spewing up bile)
GRAHAM: No, that's no -- no, no, quit covering for these guys.
(More bile)
No, no, no, your -- media, you keep covering for these guys. They introduced legislation that allowed abortion demand with taxpayer-funded -- you paying for it, the taxpayer, up to the moment of birth. That was their position in Washington. That's the law they want to pass. And nobody in your business will talk about it.
It's barbaric.
BASH: Senator -- Senator, I'm not covering for anybody. And you know that.
GRAHAM: Yes. Yes.
BASH: And when I have Democrats on -- and I have had Democrats on -- I have asked...
GRAHAM: OK. Well, just report -- report the facts.
BASH: I have many -- all of them about their position where -- where they believe this issue should be.
My question for you, sir, is about...
GRAHAM: Well, I can tell you how they voted.
BASH: My question for you, sir, is about President Trump, who you have endorsed to be president again. Is he right in saying that this issue should be a states' issue?
GRAHAM: He said yesterday, I think, at a speech in Iowa that he opposes late-term abortion.
That's not the f**king question.
The United States of America solidly did not want Roe v. Wade overturned by the kangaroo Supreme Court. The Republican Party is "out of line with the civil world."
That's why Graham wants to change the debate from a women's right to choose to late-term abortions.
He's a liar and he knows it. Having a hissy fit about the media is not going to sway anybody. Not even the people that watch the Steve Bannon Christian Nationalists Sedition network.
