‘Look in the mirror’: Lindsey Graham calls Colin Kaepernick a ‘racist’ for opposing murder of ‘brown people’

Published 6 hours ago on January 5, 2020

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blasted NFL player Colin Kaepernick and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after they criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the assassination of Iran military leader Qasem Soleimani.

In a tweet on Saturday, Kaepernick suggested that the attack on Soleimani was part of a history of “American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people.”

“Yeah, he’s a loser on and off the field,” Graham told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired on Sunday. “He has no idea what the Iranian regime has done to the region, he has no idea that they have 600 American deaths as a result of IEDs made in Iran and used in Iraq.”

“It’s un-American,” the senator continued. “He’s a racist. If you’re looking for for racism in America, Mr. Kaepernick, look in the mirror. Your country is not the problem! It’s the Iranian and you’re so blinded by your hatred of Trump that you can’t see the difference between who we are and who the Ayatollah is.”.................

As you mention, to put them in the same category would be deeply insulting to pigs.

Ms Lindsey you're a hoot. Colin is no more a racist than you are a statesMan. Pointing out racism is not racism. Confusing the truth with racism is racism.

Calling a black activist a racist isn’t really a great way to ask for votes.

The Honolulu Star Advertiser.

I just don’t understand how so many trolls can be logged in behind the pay wall.

The whole shmear, the IEDs in Iran, the racism, hating Trump, all of it. This is a propaganda machine.

Vomit.

for kissing up to tRump, I think we will be shocked. Before the election he stated "If Donald Trump gets into the WH, it will be the END of the gop, and we will deserve it" He had nothing good to say about tRump, then he golfed with him, and everything changed. Since then he has been the most frequent boot licker of them all. He has competition from Moscow Mitch and others in the gop. They seem to be desperate to keep something under wraps. He spent Christmas vacation golfing with his big daddy at Mar-A-Lardo. Why do people keep voting for this little traitor?
