Paul Dans

So I've been there when everybody gave up.

you know he was making feckless phone calls or something and he ultimately had this famous phone call with rafisberger which if you had actually been a lawyer you'd be like that's the last person you should be getting on the phone call telling the president to get on the phone with because that guy's adverse to us yes they're going to tape you you know they're going to try to set you up don't you understand what went down here

So it was almost extraordinary that he could kind of pantomime that he was doing something on election integrity.

Yes.

Ultimately, he was leading.

I think that this man's M.O.

is when he couldn't frontally attack Trump, he said, I'm going to infiltrate Trump and then I'm going to walk him in down the path.

of danger and like hey mr president why didn't you call up the secretary of state and see if you can find some votes that's a great idea sir why didn't you do that and it's like it's like a setup artist almost um but you know for anybody with their head screwed on it was it was asking for trouble

And of course, you know, then J6 precipitated after that.

And so by the end of the term there, everybody had walked away from the man.

And, you know, I was there January 20th at Joint Base Andrews to see President Trump off.

No, he gave his famous undone speech.

And, you know, the first part of that speech is interesting because he knocks South Carolina.

He likes to first start out by saying, my state's often the cause of the problem.

So first he throws South Carolina under the bus and then he basically says he's done with Trump.

And, you know, the meanwhile, those of us are like in the engine room, like my grandfather trying to keep this ship going, MAGA, keep the US government running.

You know, we're in full peak COVID.

And, you know, like I say, uh,

To have this guy now got full six years in the Senate, got everyone to say vote for him.

I mean, I had my neighbors coming up to me and saying, Paul, should we vote for Lindsey Graham?
