Graham needs to STOP INTERRUPTING his host! It's sexist and disrespectful. I think that, like trump, he's a pernicious and hysterical old man that resents capable women of color.

[@zvmZvm0102]

There are few capable women of color, not totally their fault, ALL our institutions hold women of color to lower standards for DEI, so it's not their fault they aren't challenged. The Democrats lost the moral high ground on sexism when they started backing DEI discrimination.

Bernie was probably busy. And, that about covers the list of "Senators with a moral compass". Some Dems have a moral sundial - they're moral when the political weather is fair. Most Republicans that even had a clue what a moral boundary is (the 7 that voted to convict after J6) are going or gone. But, there you are.

When it comes to lies AND incompetence, Trump can't hold a candle to Harris and Biden. Even Bernie Sanders says Harris will say whatever she thinks will get a vote. Thanks to Harris and Biden, we have dangerous open borders, high crime, high inflation, 13 dead soldiers, war, unaffordable housing, food, and gasoline. Anyone who would vote for the dishonest, incompetent, floozie who slept her way to the top needs his head examined! That's why NO ONE voted for her when she ACTUALLY ran!

"What they've done for four years": Enacted policies that led to the US having the fastest recovery from the GLOBAL pandemic, shutdown, and inflation spike, avoided a recession, brought manufacturing jobs back, funded infrastructure projects across the country, red states and blue, actually more in red states INCLUDING SOUTH CAROLINA, where you took credit for projects YOU VOTED AGAINST! The same policies made the US energy independent, as we produce more oil and gas NOW, than ant time in history, and MORE THAN ANY NATION ON EARTH! Those policies made the biggest investment in renewable energy, chip manufacturing, and American small businesses, created 16 million jobs, and gave us the STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD!
