'Poor Linds': Lindsey Graham brutally trolled on social media after being abandoned by the former president
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is being mocked on social media following former President Donald Trump's recent interview condemning him.
It's no secret the Republican lawmaker has long been an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump often justifying his actions even when he is blatantly wrong. However, his support of Trump appears to have backfired. The latest debacle stems from Trump's recent rally in Conroe, Texas.
At one point during the rally, Trump told his supporters he would pardon those facing charges in connection with the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.
"If I run and I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly," Trump told rallygoers. "If it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly."
The following day, Graham shared his opinion of those remarks describing pardons for Capitol rioters as "inappropriate." Apparently, Graham's remarks did not sit well with the former president.
Speaking to Newsmax's Rob Schmitt on Tuesday, February 1, Trump reflected on the series of events that unfolded on Jan. 6 as he shared his opinion of Graham's reaction to his rally remarks. “Lindsey Graham is wrong,” Trump said during the interview. “I mean, Lindsey is a nice guy, but he’s a RINO. Lindsey’s wrong.”
Trump also insisted that his supporters who stormed the Capitol “are not guilty” and said Graham “doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about.”
Trump: Some of these people are not guilty. Many of these people are not guilty. What they\u2019ve done to these and in many cases they\u2019re patriots. They\u2019re soldiers, they\u2019re policemen\u2026 Lindsey Graham doesn\u2019t know what the hell he\u2019s talking about if he said thatpic.twitter.com/M2RpSSu90c— Acyn (@Acyn) 1643772720
As footage of the interview began circulating on social media, Twitter users quickly shared their reaction to Trump turning on Graham. The Pro-Trump senator is now being relentlessly mocked for blindly following a former president who wasted no time abandoning him when it suited him.
"Imagine how upsetting it must be for Lindsey Graham to hear this while barnacled to the inside of Trump’s rectum," one Twitter user wrote. Then, another echoed those remarks tweeting, "Lindsey Graham sold out his soul for this guy only to get thrown under the bus like he's nothing."

TFG calls @LindseyGrahamSC, his adoring ball washer, a RINO because Linds dared to say Trump\u2019s plan to pardon insurrectionists is bad. Poor Linds.— Just Mary (@Just Mary) 1643804641
Trump continues to insult @LindseyGrahamSC because he knows that Lindsey has no spine. He knows he can call Lindsey anything, and Lindsey will take it.— Ben Meiselas (@Ben Meiselas) 1643803432

@LindseyGrahamSC How does it feel to finally be thrown under the bus by Trump. He called you a RINO and said you don't know what you're talking about in regards to Jan. 6th rioters.— gatrgirl (@gatrgirl) 1643804501
