@WhiteHouse Not going to pretend I know what the solution to this problem is...
...but I don't think a blockade is it, both for humanitarian and economic reasons.
Britain should repurchase America. After all, it was ours once, and it would enhance our North Atlantic security. If you don’t sell it to us, President Trump, we’re going to impose tariffs on the U.S. and any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal. Fair?
@LindseyGrahamSC@LindseyGrahamSC I'm not certain re intervention, but I agree the ayatollah is repugnant.
That said - you seem to shift stances re when violence is merited.
Example: you advocated for law enforcement to use their guns on January 6th rioters originally [https://t.co/bLohmNjr5j]
@RpsAgainstTrump Yep: at the time @LindseyGrahamSC was begging for law enforcement to start using their firearms on the rioters (who he THEN called domestic terrorists).
Had to be a major threat for a GOP Senator & retired military officer to be begging LEOs to draw guns

@SpeakerJohnson Asking what comes next is not the same as objecting to removing a dictator.
Nor is voicing concerns that authoritarian regimes (like China/Xi) might abuse this precedent.
Nor are concerns about Congressional authority being diminished.
One can hate Maduro, and still be worried.
@PressSec@LindseyGrahamSC asked/begged law enforcement to use their guns more freely against the rioters (which Graham also called domestic terrorists).
Feels hard to say there was no threat/risk when a retired military officer & GOP Senator demanded cops draw.

@LindseyGrahamSC Hey, @LindseyGrahamSC - you confirmed for Fox News that on #January6th you asked/begged law enforcement to begin using their guns (to presumably open fire?) on the rioters.
How about a post stressing your condemnation of Trump pardoning them?
https://t.co/NijpXrrIGN
@WhiteHouse I remember that #LindseyGraham confirmed he asked law enforcement to start shooting the rioters on January 6th. For Fox News, even.
Hard to say there was no threat/risk when a GOP Senator begged for cops to open fire on the rioters.

@HouseDemocrats@RepJeffries Don't forget: Lindsey Graham begged for law enforcement to open fire on the rioters on January 6th.
It's hard for MAGA or the GOP to claim there was never a threat/risk when one of their Senators complained cops weren't shooting the rioters.

@SenWarren Don't forget - for all the GOP lies about January 6th...
At the time? Lindsey Graham was begging law enforcement to use their guns more freely to retake the building. He called the rioters domestic terrorists. Hard to rewrite that.

@RandPaul Definitely sounds like overreach that merits exposure/blowback. Glad you uncovered this.
That said, it feels worth noting that on January 6th - Lindsey Graham was begging law enforcement to use their guns more freely. Which suggests real fear/threats.

@SenateGOP Being concerned about what comes new (regime change, resource management, etc) isn't the same as objecting to removing a monster from power - just wanting clarity/planning/transparency.
Additionally, concern about this precedent being abused by China re Taiwan seems merited.
@GOP Friendly reminder re #January6th that AT THE TIME #LindseyGraham opined law enforcement should have made freer use of their firearms against protestors/rioters [https://t.co/0GZghLBTlv]
He also called them #DomesticTerrorists & said he was done re #Trump at the time...
Hmm.
