Lindsay Graham went on Fascist Fox News Sunday and said that if the GOP gains control of the House in 2022, they will impeach Kamala Harris.
Let's take the two most salient points. First, he threatened to impeach the Black woman, not the White man, because we've replaced dog whistles with air horns.
Second, the reason that Graham wants to impeach Harris has something to do with bailing out someone or other who may have done something...who the fuck knows with these clowns. There is no evidence to support Harris bailing anyone out.
What Graham typifies, perhaps even more than Mitch McConnell, is the absolute nihilism at the heart of the GOP. Why does he want to impeach Harris? Because Democrats impeached Trump. Twice. The only two bipartisan votes for removal in the brief history of impeachment were Trump. Trump was impeached last winter for abusing the power of his office to warp and election. And then impeached again for launching an insurrection against the US Congress and his own Vice President. For Graham, the merits of the case are irrelevant. In his eyes, impeachment is simply a form of political payback. You may remember him as a House Manager when Bill Clinton lied about a blow job.
Democrats - AND REPUBLICANS - believed that Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors. McConnell and other GOP Senators basically said that the House Managers proved their case, but that they felt that you can't impeach a private citizen. Whatever.
Graham goes a step further and decides that impeachment is just an act of vindictiveness. What he exposes is not what Democrats believe, but what he believes in the shriveled little void where his heart should be.
