Lindsey Graham Lists and Complains About a List of Awesome Pro-Democracy Policies

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina gave a 60 second incoherent answer when asked by an ABC News reporter to react to the recent Colorado Supreme Court decision which removed Donald Trump from the ballot.

When asked by “This Week” host Pierre Thomas to react to the controversial decision by the Colorado high court, Graham—devoutly loyal to Trump—blasted the decision:

“It’s not a rule of law based ruling, it's a political decision,” Graham said. “The hatred of Trump is so widespread. You know, Democrats wanna pack the Supreme Court, abolish the electoral college, make D.C. and Puerto Rico states, and nationalize elections through H.R. 1.”

The Democratic Party and the wildly pro-democratic policies Graham associates with them have nothing to do with Colorado’s decision, which was made by the state supreme court from a lawsuit filed by Republican and independent voters. 

President Biden and many senior Democrats have rejected calls to “pack the court,” though the Supreme Court has been altered in size and composition various times throughout the nation’s history, even by our Founding Fathers—and despite Graham’s own actions in radically reshaping the court by supporting bad faith Republican tactics in 2016 and 2020 to give Trump the chance to add three conservative justices. 

The electoral college is a relic from America’s openly racist origins—one that isn’t shared by any other democratic republic on earth—which enables the otherwise unpopular Republicans to remain competitive with Democrats for the presidency.

There have been no aggressive or serious attempts by Democrats to confer statehood to D.C. or Puerto Rico, despite the fact that the nation’s capital is much more populous than the sparsely-populated Wyoming, which enjoys voting representation in the House and Senate and electoral college votes. 

Puerto Ricans fare even worse, as they are unable to vote in elections at all, unlike D.C. residents.

Lastly, Article I of the Constitution empowers the United States Congress to federally regulate elections, which could be used to maximize eligible voter turnout in the 50 states—though Republicans like Graham have openly admitted in the past that such laws would make it harder for Republicans to win elections.
