He noted that he supports election reform, and that mail-in voting is \u201csubject to fraud and abuse.\u201d \u201cThose who defiled the Capitol, [and] took the law into their own hands,\u201d however, \u201cI hope they get prosecuted to the full extent of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham did not blame former President Donald Trump for the riot, saying that the president\u2019s speech, which he gave shortly before the riot broke out, was a \u201cpolitical speech,\u201d but he reiterated his point about the rioters, saying that January 6 was a \u201cdark day for America,\u201d and that he hopes the rioters are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/725-people-have-been-arrested-for-jan-6-capitol-breach-most-hit-for-entering-or-remaining-in-capitol\">prosecuted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Graham then pointed out that there were a number of unanswered questions, including pictures of an individual allegedly placing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fbi-releases-video-of-suspect-who-left-pipe-bombs-near-rnc-dnc-night-before-capitol-breach\">pipe bombs<\/a> at various locations around Washington, D.C., on January 5, the night before Trump\u2019s speech and the Capitol breach. \u201cWho were these people?\u201d Graham asked rhetorically. \u201cClearly, they weren\u2019t inspired by [Trump\u2019s] speech, \u2019cause he hadn\u2019t given it yet. How could the Capitol, 20 years after 9\/11 \u2026 be taken over by an unarmed mob? \u2026 Who\u2019s responsible for protecting the Capitol? Is it the Speaker of the House? I hope she\u2019s held accountable, whatever responsibility she may have,\u201d Graham said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForget about the reason it was taken over for a moment, how could that happen? And how exposed are we to a terrorist attack?\u201d Graham added.<\/p>\n<p>Graham then lambasted the speeches given by President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-former-president-in-scathing-speech-biden-never-utters-trumps-name\">Joe Biden<\/a> and Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kamala-harris-compares-january-6-riot-to-pearl-harbor-9-11\">Kamala Harris<\/a> in commemoration of the riot, saying that Biden\u2019s speech was \u201cawful\u201d and a missed opportunity to unite the country in favor of partisan point-scoring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an effort on his part, and the vice president\u2019s, to create a brazen political moment, to try to deflect from their failed presidency, it was an effort to push the passage of federal legislation to take over the states\u2019 voting system, which has got nothing to do with January 6, so I was really disappointed in the tone of the president and the vice president \u2014 of the politicized January 6. The American people reject what happened on January 6, but come in November of 2022, they are going to reject the Democratic Party, because these folks running our country in the House and the Senate, and Biden, don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRampant inflation, broken borders, turning Afghanistan back over to terrorists, being weak in the face of Iranian aggression, these are the most dangerous times since the late 30s, and I think the public is going to be voting in November of 2022 not based on what happened on January 6, but based on this failed Democratic radical agenda,\u201d Graham said.<\/p>\n<p>Graham went on to predict that former President Trump and the Republican Party at large would have success in 2022 and 2024 because the Democrats\u2019 policies are not popular, and \u201cdo not represent America.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re not a socialist country, we don\u2019t want to pack the Supreme Court, we don\u2019t want to abolish the Electoral College, we don\u2019t want D.C. and Puerto Rico to become a state to change the balance of power in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened on January 6 was bad, and people need to be punished, and they will be. But what Democrats are trying to do is tear up the Constitution. They are trying to change the balance of power in this country. \u2026 This is the most radical approach to our constitutional checks and balances in my lifetime, and maybe ever. There\u2019s going to be a backlash in 2022, John, against this democratic radicalization,\u201d Graham concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Graham previously excoriated Biden over his January 6 speech. The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lindsey-graham-blasts-biden-harris-for-january-6-speeches-brazen-politicization\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat brazen politicization of January 6 by President Biden,\u201d Graham wrote in a tweet Thursday morning, while Biden was still speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Graham expounded on his position in a Twitter thread later Thursday morning. \u201cI still cannot believe a mob was able to take over the United States Capitol during such a pivotal moment \u2013 certifying a presidential election,\u201d Graham wrote. \u201cIt would have been so easy for terrorists to bootstrap onto this protest and wreak even further destruction on the U.S. Capitol\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham closed the thread by condemning Biden and Harris\u2019s speeches as overt attempts to politicize the events of January 6 in order to buoy their floundering approval ratings and ram through a pair of Democratic-backed election overhaul bills. \u201cPresident Biden and Vice President Harris\u2019s speeches today were an effort to resurrect a failed presidency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said that the Biden administration\u2019s policies have placed the United States in the \u201cmost dangerous times\u201d since the late 1930s.
