‘A Slug’: Former Dem Sen. McCaskill Rips Lindsey Graham Following Stone’s Commutation

Former Sen. 👤Claire McCaskill (Missouri) is taking aim at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), suggesting he is a “slug” as he backs President Donald Trump.

Ahead of the president’s actually commuting of Roger Stone, Graham noted his approval if Trump were to do so. McCaskill then took a swing at the South Carolina senator, as she tweeted in response over the weekend, “You POS. You know the criminal justice system.”

“He didn’t plead guilty. He asked for a jury trial. A jury convicted him of 7 felonies,” she continued. “And you are lying, you know no one gets probation after that. But then, you are now entrenched with the liars.”

She came out swinging again during an MSNBC “Deadline: White House” interview on Monday evening.

McCaskill turned her attention to Graham after the panel spoke about Stone then the reported Russia bounties. She was then asked, “Are we learning that a Republican Congress can’t be trusted to look out for U.S. national security?”

The former Democratic senator then said, “👤Lindsey Graham would have been first in line calling out Putin for putting a bounty on American soldiers. He would have been pounding the podium in the Armed Services Committee, along with John McCain and Tom Cotton and the rest of them, get to the bottom of what Putin has done.”
