On January 6, he channeled a darker version when he wanted Capitol Police to open fire on the rioters.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham urged Capitol police to use their guns and regain control of the Capitol on Jan. 6, a new report details.
"What are you doing? Take back the Senate! You've got guns. Use them," Graham told Capitol police, according to an extensive report from the Washington Post, which described Graham as "Irate" that senators were forced to leave their chambers during the storming of the Capitol.
Graham's office confirmed the quotes are "Accurate" in a statement to Fox News on Monday.
"Graham was quite clear on this point, noting that the backpacks and other items brought into the Capitol could have contained bombs and explosives. The damage could have been much, much worse," Graham's communications director, Kevin Bishop, said.
She's the only person who was killed inside the Capitol Building.
If the police had followed Graham's advice, well-maybe the narrative would have been different.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
