Lindsey Graham raises eyebrows with 'riots' claim on Fox

Following the FBI's retrieval of at least 184 classified documents from former President Donald Trump's Florida residence, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on Fox, claiming there would be "riots in the streets" if Trump is prosecuted. Reporters Olivia Nuzzi and Emily Ngo join New Day to discuss.#CNN #News

We need to call this what it is - domestic terrorism and Graham at least needs to be questioned as to who he's talking to.

Someone who incites violence as a Senator must be accountable

[leonardo]

that's sounds like a threat to our justice!!! let them riot, Justice must be served!!!

[cranjismcbasketball]

The fact that politicians would incite violence and be uncaring about the repercussions of their words and actions shows that they are unfit to be in office and should be held accountable.

[smartist_witin_kintucky]

how about we stop electing people who were born during a time when everything was made of wood

[troubledsole]

Here’s a crazy idea: follow the laws of this country like everyone else, Senator!

[Zachorazor]

It's not, "an attenpt to fearmonger." It's a threat.

The one hilarious aspect to this that nobody seems to be talking about: “Riots in the streets”. And??!! There’s riots in the streets *already* . Where has everyone been the past few years?
This is neither to dismiss nor diminish Graham’s stupidity, but to suggest there will be riots in the streets in America in 2022 is like stating Washington D.C. is the nation’s capital.

Graham is the most shameless politician in Washington. He cannot resist making outrageous statements for the cameras. South Carolina, when are you going to elect a real senator?

[sandrac]

Why isn't the FBI bringing Lindsey Graham in for questioning for his threatening behaviour, the man is a disgrace.

[therelaxationstation]

It’s not “potentially “ he IS inciting violence.

[saltdaemon]

I hope the find Lindseys' fingerprints all over those stolen documents and hold him accountable in Georgia!

[fredhadley]

A reporter should ask Graham whether he will riot IF Trump is indicted? When he says NO, the next question should be "Why Not?", at which point Graham will say BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL. Wee Lindsey is a drama queen.

[frndlystrangr]

Lindsay Graham needs to be careful what he wishes for as those "riots in the streets" could show up at his front door!

[RealtalkLindy]

That is a message to the mob to act so in my book he is inciting violence and should be held accountable.

[choward]

Remember Lindsey Graham the staunch conservative? The guy who vehemently opposed Donald J. Trump? The guy who stood for law and order...who was highly critical of Bill Clinton during his impeachment process? Then Trump showed up and suddenly, out of the blue, Graham transformed into an obsequious Trump apologist! Ya think Trump has something very personal on Graham?

[RC-ggxs]

I guess the supposed "law and order" group will find out how it feels to be law and ordered.

[StephenLewisful]

If Trump is indicted, Lindsey, He won't be alone.
When Trump is indicted and convicted there will be massive parties in the streets.
I'll see you guys out there.

[montesmith]

I say let them riot - I can think of nothing that would destroy the Republican party faster.
This simply demonstrates the current state of that Party

loving that lindsey graham is finally establishing clearly in history the man he really is and always has been.. the damage to their family names by the trump enablers, distractors and coat tail users in history will, imo, be devestating
