Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.

The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.

“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

    I maintain that based one his behavior since then that Lindsay Graham had to have done something like murdered someone(probably a child) in the middle of a sexual act or something like that, his 180 is too jarring for the dirt to not be the most atrocious

      He should have been voted out in a primary a while ago, this is all just to not show off how he’s not actually a modern republican.
