Opinion: 'Despite Lindsey Graham’s compulsive turd-polishing of the last few years, Donald Trump didn’t even consult him before making the decision to abandon the Kurds. He didn’t even get a text,' writes Charles Sykes for POLITICOmag
At first, it was a mere curiosity. During the 2016 campaign, Graham had called Trump a “nutjob” and a loser,” as well as a “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.” He predicted that if the GOP nominated him, “we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.”
I asked what “this” was. “ ‘This,’ ” Graham said, “is to try to be relevant.” Politics, he explained, was the art of what works and what brings desired outcomes. “I’ve got an opportunity up here working with the president to get some really good outcomes for the country,” he told me. The world saw Graham as a craven, cringing Uriah Heep. Graham saw himself as someone who could save the world, or at least the Kurds.
