During an interview on Fox News, Graham warned Democrats that trying to prolong a sham trial for political purposes could have a political blowback they’re not counting on.
And Vice President Kamala Harris will be a primary target.
Graham said any Democratic attempting to bring in witnesses to discuss Trump’s alleged role in inciting the U.S. Capitol incursion of Jan. 6 would open the door for Republicans to call in their own witnesses.
This, of course, would allow Republicans to bring up Harris’ own words regarding the much more destructive riots the country saw over the summer.
“If you’re going to pursue this, and you want to start calling witnesses, and you want to drag this out, it would be fair to have Kamala Harris’ tape played where she bailed people out of jail,” Graham said.
“What more could you do to incite future violence than to pay the bail of the people who broke up the shops and beat up the cops?” he said. “How is that not inciting future violence? Be careful what you wish for, my Democratic colleagues. Be careful what you wish for.”
Graham’s reference to a “tape” was apparently an error, but there’s no doubt there’s evidence that Harris encouraged the disturbances over the summer that started over the death in police custody of alleged counterfeiter George Floyd in Minneapolis, then spiraled into orgies of destruction around the country.
Below is Harris’ tweet:
If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.
