Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went full what-about when pressed about election denialism

In an interview on ABC’s This Week Sunday, anchor Pierre Thomas — filling in for George Stephanopoulos — confronted the South Carolina senator about Trump’s continued insistence that he was victorious in 2020.

“ He claims to be an election denier, proudly,” Thomas said. “We teach our children when they lose something to shake the opponent’s hand and move on. Are you concerned that the president is a former president is not setting the proper standard going forward here, sir?”

Graham drew a breath and set about the task of equating Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric and actions after the 2016 election to Donald Trump’s.

“Well, you know, Hillary Clinton had the same view that she was cheated,” Graham said. “He’s not the first politician to claim to have been denied a fair election.”

The Senator did, however, go on to say that he flat out believes Trump will lose the 2024 election if he continues to dwell on 2020.
