sen. Lindsey Graham is so upset that Democrats are about to pass a bill to help the American people that he threatens Senator Joe Manchin.

sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claims Democrats are engaged in a “jihad to tax and spend” and appears to be warning that the GOP will aggressively offer amendments to derail the Inflation Reduction Act.

Graham (R-SC) said at a news conference Friday: “I hope we can come up with proposals that will make sense to some of them and that they will give up this jihad that they are taxing and spending… Joe Manchin, you have a game plan that counts on something you have to think long and hard about.
sen. Graham said Republicans are going to propose amendments to the Reconciliation Act that they hope will split Democrats and destroy the bill. Graham’s threat to Joe Manchin was cryptic, but he seems to be warning that he will try to sink Manchin in West Virginia if he doesn’t help Republicans stop The Reduce Inflation Act.
It’s always kind of humorous to see human marshmallow Lindsey Graham trying to talk loudly, but Graham’s point is that the Republicans will try to stop the Democrats from lowering the prices of prescription drugs, making healthcare cheaper, fighting climate change. and boost domestic energy production while companies pay more taxes.
Democrats are doing what many thought was impossible. They pass important legislation in the middle of a 50/50 Senate election year, and Republicans sound desperate to stop them.
