Moving goalposts huh

Am I? Are they his constituents or not? Maybe things are different in NJ?

Tom_Ch · 2021-08-15T14:11:48.668Z

Yes it’s legal and they can do that.

So can Liz to vote to impeach as trump constituents.

The question is which constituents is right?

They are. But they also have an agenda.

How bout the elected official who loves the idea.

That person is also a constituent.

And yet, she is still a republican and can run as one if she chooses.

In the primary, I guess. Are you really still a Republican if the party officially shuns you and Republicans won’t vote for you? Sounds like the ultimate RINO to me.

Aiken county must have gotten shorted on their share of “infrastructure” funds allocated in the bill?

Those in Wyoming have the right to censure her, just like those in SC have the right to censure Graham. I don’t know how you’re applying your logic but…it isn’t logical?

Sure. Just don’t pretend a county GOP group is representative of the entire constituency.

These few people do not represent SC.

Oh…then tell me who they do represent?

Ok so who does graham represent?

Rinos.

I never said it was. That’s another one of your inaccurate interpretations.

Is what they’re doing legal?

Moving goalposts huh. The Republican Party of Aiken county can do anything they want.

They don’t represent the entire state.

That was done in November when graham was re-elected.

I rather go with elected officials over a party.

It will be interesting to see if any other counties follow suit.

Agreed and I’d wager, there will be?

South Carolina people will disagree

Of course they do. All they see is free money.

Remember this, the word “infrastructure” was used by politicians because it’s a lie but who can argue with it?

It’s the next best thing to “for the children.”

…or “black lives matter”.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly called President Biden after the 2020 election and said he had attacked the president’s son Hunter Biden only to satisfy Trump supporters in an attempt to revive their long-standing friendship.

Lib Cheney also got censored for going against the people who sent her to DC.

One county out of 46. Wow, that hurts.

westaussie · 2021-08-16T02:24:46.242Z

Shouldn’t he as a senator be representing the whole of his state?
