Lindsey Graham Compared Mar-a-Lago to North Korea: Bob Woodward

Source: Daily Beast

One of Donald Trump’s closest confidantes has compared the former president’s Mar-a-Lago Florida estate to North Korea, according to an upcoming book by Watergate journalist Bob Woodward.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reportedly said: “Going to Mar-a-Lago is a little bit like going to North Korea. Everybody stands up and claps every time Trump comes in.”

Graham is quoted as saying that Biden won the 2020 election “fair and square,” but “Trump doesn’t like to hear that.”

A Trump supporter and “golfing buddy”, Graham has tried to give the GOP nominee advice for his 2024 campaign, writes Woodward in his book, War. “You’ve got a problem with moderate women. The people that think that the earth is flat and we didn’t go to the moon, you’ve got them. Let that go,” he is said to have told Trump after the midterm elections.

. . . doesn't feel any compunction to lift up or illuminate those who are beholden to absolute nonsense. And it's not because of a spirit of tolerance wherein one stands on principle that people have a right to believe whatever they damn well want to believe.

Nope. Those people are useful voters and that's all they are. We love the uneducated, Trump said. And Trump and Company need more of them which is why Project 2025 wants to eliminate the Department of Education.

An educated populous is critical to democracy. Whereas ignorant people are easier to control. Graham has made his preference very clear.

Glaze Trump on air, then privately bash him like a coward. All puppets without a hand.
