Yes, you heard that right. Here are Graham's exact words:
And here's the first thing I would do if I were president of the United States. I wouldn't let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to. We're not leaving town until we restore these defense cuts. We are not leaving town until we restore the intel cuts.Graham would use the military to force members of Congress to not just vote on the bill — but to pass it. Graham didn't say "until I get an up-or-down vote on restoring defense cuts." He said "until we restore these defense cuts."
In other words, Graham is proposing that his first act as president would be to use the military to force the legislative branch to pass his agenda.
Why do you think he rated last in the conservatives poll. He is a horse's ass of the first order. Ric would be elected President before this blowhard.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, we have finally established an absurd extreme you don't agree with. Didn't think I'd ever see that.
DeleteWhen confronted with his statement, Graham claimed it was meant as a joke.
ReplyDeleteAnother poster child for term limits.
