Lindsey Graham was an agitated supporter of Donald Trump when George Stephanopoulos introduced him on Sunday’s “This Week,” immediately contrasting Trump’s denunciation with Hillary Clinton’s emails, and when the ABC journalist revived him on trying to get on track, the South Carolina senator went ballistic.
After Stephanopoulos listed the 37 criminal counts Trump faces for his alleged mishandling of classified documents, he asked Graham if he believed Trump when he said he had done nothing wrong. And so began Graham’s deflection, attempting to shine a spotlight on Clinton’s use of a private server when she was secretary of state.
“Here’s what I believe: We live in an America where if you’re the Democratic nominee for President, Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, you can set up a private server in your basement,” Graham said.
Stephanopoulos interrupted and said Graham didn’t answer his question. With that, the Republican senator took off.

“No! Let me finish! This is ridiculous!” he screamed. “I’m trying to answer the question from a Republican point of view. That may not be acceptable on this show!
An obviously furious Graham continued to go all in on the “absolutely ridiculous” espionage charge against Trump, once again comparing it to Clinton’s accused inappropriate handling of emails, to which Graham said “nothing happened to (Ms. Clinton)”. Stephanopoulos replied: “She has been fully investigated and the investigation found no deliberate withholding (of documents).”
That seemed to set Graham on fire even more, who shot back, “Yeah, right.” Stephanopoulos then pointed out that Trump had been president for four years and that his administration had plenty of time to file a case against her.
