[su_right_ad]Senator Lindsey Graham’s first act as president would be to keep Congress in D.C. by any means necessary, reports Anomaly.

Sen. Graham (R-SC) stopped by the “politics and pies” forum in Concord, New Hampshire, to say he would not allow Congress to leave D.C. until his demands to reverse defense spending cuts wer met, declaring he would use United States military force to keep them there.

Imagine if Barack Obama said this. The outrage would be deafening…

Graham said:

And here’s the first thing I would do if I were president of the United States. I wouldn’t let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to. We’re not leaving town until we restore these defense cuts. We are not leaving town until we restore the intel cuts.

Vox reports:

Graham would use the military to force members of Congress to not just vote on the bill — but to pass it. Graham didn’t say “until I get an up-or-down vote on restoring defense cuts.” He said “until we restore these defense cuts.”

    Funny thing about Graham.

    Col. Graham would appear to be in violation of 10 US. 894.Article 94 (Mutiny or Sedition.) of the UCMJ …(And possibly Article 133 of the UCMJ — Conduct Unbecoming of an Officer)
    So lets prosecute Hillary for e-mails.

      I understand that Joni Ernst is also a Reserve officer. I’ll bet there’s several more–and each and every one of them should be brought to our attention. No doubt they all rode their military service record into office.

    If this scenario ever did come to pass under a President Graham, rest assured that the very same people ranting about Obama’s “tyranny” would be swooning and wetting their pants over the strong leadership of President Graham.

    Double all that if Congress has Democratic majorities.

    Why wait? Why not let THIS President use the military on Congress, Lindsay?

    Yeah, but Obama’s the REAL dictator.

    Christ in a chariot-driven sidecar….these GOP chumps really do not care anymore, do they? Every time they open their mouths the most insane nonsense comes flowing out. And yet, there are still those who whine about how “both parties are the same”. Bulls**t.
