Lindsey Graham destroyed after bragging that 'conservatives are tolerant'
December 27, 2023
Sen. Lindsey Graham was shredded on social media Wednesday after his take on the Republican Party's tolerance went viral.
“The bottom line is Conservatives are tolerant,” Graham (R-SC) said on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning. “We are kind of get-out-of-your-business, ‘you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone.’”
Graham — a high-ranking Republican who has thrown his support behind book bans and defended the Confederate flag — was discussing a New York bill that would mandate fast food restaurants that operate in publicly-owned spaces remain open on weekends.
The bill references Chick-fil-A specifically, as its Christian owner Truett Cathy bans work on Sundays. Chick-fil-A has been the subject of controversy for years over donations to anti-LGBTQ+ groups and, as former workers contend, served as a safe space for “people who hate.”
Graham decried the proposed bill — which targets eateries on public highways and which sponsor Assembly Member Tony Simone (D) says is intended to improve service for weekend travelers — as a prime example of Democratic intolerance.
“If you can have a Satan club in high school surely they can close on Sunday because they believe it’s the Lord’s day,” Graham said. “We’re not going to give into this…this is God’s chicken.”
X user Acyn shared the video with followers, who were stunned by Graham’s interpretation of tolerance.
“Yeah,” @Reelect_Biden wrote, “tolerant of corruption and insurrection.”
"Unless you're gay,” added Michael VanDerMar. “Or transgender. Or have a vagina. Or want to read certain books. Or..."
Rose Benson wanted to know, “Can I have my bodily autonomy back?”
“Uteruses would like a word with you,” @HootPhD replied. “LGBTQ folk would like a word with you. Libraries and public schools would like a word with you. You raging, filthy liar.”
