South Carolina Senator [R] Lindsey Graham slammed Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office. God knows, Biden has given everyone plenty of reasons to crack on his flop of a start, and many of us don’t have high hopes moving forward, but Graham really let the Democrat have it. The Senator not only said he wasn’t ‘very impressed’ with Joe but added that his ‘bonehead ideas’ have completely destroyed our previously secured borders.
“During the campaign, he made us all believe Joe Biden would be the moderate choice. That court-packing was a bonehead idea. All of a sudden we have a commission to change the structure of the Supreme Court. Making D.C. a state, I think that’s a very radical idea that will change the makeup of the United States Senate. AOC said his first 100 days exceeded her expectations. That’s all you need to know,” Graham said on Sunday.
“I’m not very impressed with the first 100 days,” Graham said.
He came down on Biden’s slack foreign policies:
“He’s been a disaster on foreign policy. The border is in chaos, the Iranians are off the map, he’s opening up negotiations with the Iranian regime and they haven’t done a d— thing to change,” Graham said. “Afghanistan’s going to fall apart. Russia and China are already pushing him around, so I’m very worried.”4
Biden is scheduled to give his first speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. Graham’s fellow senator from South Carolina, Tim Scott, will deliver the Republican response.
Graham also noted Democrat’s huge failure in blocking Scott’s police reform legislation last summer in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.
“We would have police reform in the last Congress, but Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris made a conscious effort to block bringing up Tim Scott’s reform bill,” Graham said on Sunday. “They filibustered Tim Scott’s bill because they didn’t want Tim Scott and President Trump to get credit for it.”
“Qualified immunity is a big deal. If you want to destroy policing in America, make sure that every cop can be sued when they leave the house,” he said. “There’s a way to find qualified immunity reform. Take the cop-out of it. My idea, along with Sen. Scott, is you can’t sue the police officer, you sue the department if there’s an allegation of civil rights abuse or constitutional rights abuse.”
After all of that, Graham says he still has some hope that a bi[artision relationship can be reached.
Biden’s numbers are in the garbage, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted April 18 to April 21, found that Biden’s approval rating stands at a paltry 52%, far below expectations that Democrats had for the new president they predicted would be a mostly unifying figure.
Biden’s approval rating is “lower than any president at 100 days in office since 1945,” according to ABC News. Only Gerald Ford, who was publicly damaged by his decision to pardon Richard Nixon, and Donald Trump had lower approval ratings for their first 100 days in the White
