Lindsey Graham offered up what has become the standard Republican response to Trump’s prosecution. Unlike Trump, and most of the party’s voters, Graham did not insist Trump had legitimately won the 2020 election. Instead, he argued on Fox News that it is wrong to criminalize Trump’s attempt to secure an unelected second term. “This should be decided at the ballot box and not in a bunch of liberal jurisdictions trying to put the man in jail,” he complained. “They’re weaponizing the law.”

Worse, he predicted, the successful use of a state prosecution would unleash copycat tactics on the right. “This is setting a bad precedent,” continued Graham, “and what I fear is, you’re changing the game in America and there’s no going back. We’re in for a very hard time if this becomes the norm.”

    The same people they've been fooling into voting for them for years. This is just propaganda speech delegitimizing the judicial process when they're held to account for their crimes.
