Senator Lindsey Graham delivered a blistering and righteous critique on Sunday, directly confronting the liberal media’s hypocrisy as personified by NBC’s Kristen Welker. As Welker attempted to complain about the federal prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James, Graham dismantled her narrative with the force of undeniable truth. He exposed the profound double standard that has defined the left’s weaponization of the justice system for years, a tactic that is finally being corrected under the strong leadership of President Donald Trump.
The context for this exchange is the damning indictment of Letitia James herself. A federal grand jury has charged the corrupt New York Attorney General with two serious crimes: Bank Fraud and False Statements to a Financial Institution. The charges stem from her dealings with a mortgage loan on a property in Norfolk, Virginia, which she fraudulently claimed would be a secondary residence. In a stunning contradiction, James then treated the property as a rental investment, declaring the income on her taxes and completely exposing her deceitful scheme.
This is the same Letitia James who built her political career on a vicious and overtly partisan campaign against President Trump. She publicly vowed to sue him before she had even seen a single piece of evidence, a shocking admission of a politically motivated witch hunt. She then pursued a monstrous and entirely fabricated lawsuit against the former president, attempting to secure a judgment of over $400 million and seize his private assets, all without a single victim being identified in her manufactured case.
Yet, when the wheels of justice finally begin to turn against her, the liberal media apparatus, with Kristen Welker as its mouthpiece, suddenly discovers a concern for so-called “prosecutorial independence.” This is the height of hypocrisy. Where was this concern for an independent Justice Department when Joe Biden and his allies unleashed Special Counsel Jack Smith to pursue President Trump? The silence from Welker and her colleagues was deafening. They acted as mere stenographers for the Democratic Party, cheering on the legal persecution of a political opponent.
“We’re definitely gonna sue him we’re gonna be a real pain in the ass.”

Senator Graham powerfully called out this two-tiered system of justice. He threw Welker’s feigned outrage back in her face, highlighting the foundational corruption of the cases against President Trump. “You didn’t care that Letitia James made up charges that no one’s ever faced! That Alvin Bragg made up charges no one ever faced!” Graham declared, exposing the core of the issue. The left invented novel legal theories to target their chief political rival, and the media compliantly looked the other way.

In a closing statement that resonated with millions of Americans who are sick of the corruption, Senator Graham delivered his definitive verdict on the long-overdue accountability finally arriving. He looked directly at the media hack pretending to be a journalist and stated, “This may bother you that people are being held accountable — It doesn’t bother me one damn bit.” This is the sentiment of a nation that stands with President Trump, a nation that believes in equal application of the law and cheers as the era of political weaponization meets its end.
