McConnell\u2019s speech, he got a load off his chest, obviously, but unfortunately he put a load on the back of Republicans,\u201d Graham told Fox. \u201cThat speech you will see in 2022 campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think his speech is an outlier regarding how Republicans feel about all this,\u201d Graham added.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell called Trump\u2019s decision to address the crowds who amassed for a \u201cStop the Steal\u201d protest on January 6th, as Congress was deciding on whether to certify the results of the Electoral College vote that declared Joe Biden president, and Trump\u2019s decision not to intervene to try to stop a riot on Capitol Hill that threatened elected leaders including his own Vice President, a \u201cdereliction of duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While McConnell did not agree that the president himself incited the riot as accused, he did note that Trump was \u201cpractically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham suggested the words could hurt Republican chances at comebacks in states that recently turned \u201cblue,\u201d like Arizona and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would imagine if you\u2019re a Republican running in Arizona or Georgia or New Hampshire, where we have a chance to take back the Senate, they may be playing Sen. McConnell\u2019s speech and asking you about it as a candidate,\u201d Graham said. \u201cAnd I imagine if you\u2019re an incumbent Republican there are going to be people asking you if will you support Sen. McConnell in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham, though, also had a warning for Democrats who pursued impeachment over select snippets of the president\u2019s speech on the theory that Trump \u201cincited\u201d violence by urging his supporters to \u201cfight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That standard, Graham warned, puts Vice President Kamala Harris, who tweeted in support of the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which posted bail for a number of rioters in Minneapolis, in danger of impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how Kamala Harris doesn\u2019t get impeached if the Republicans take over the House, because she actually bailed out rioters, and one of the rioters went back to the streets and broke somebody\u2019s head open,\u201d Graham said.&nbsp;\u201cSo we\u2019ve opened Pandora\u2019s box here, and I\u2019m sad for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s defense team made a similar argument on Friday, during their opening statements, showing footage of Democratic leaders, including Harris, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA),&nbsp; Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), and even Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) using language similar to that used by Trump in his speech to protesters on January 6th. Trump\u2019s lawyers contended not just that Trump did not meet the standard for \u201cinciting\u201d violence, but that his rhetoric was commonplace in politics.<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
