Unhinged liberals demand Lindsey Graham resign for suggesting Trump Jr. invoke Constitutional right

On Tuesday, The Hill reported that leftists demanded Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., resign after he suggested Donald Trump Jr., invoke his constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment.

On Monday, the South Carolina Republican said the president’s son should comply with a Senate Intelligence Committee subpoena but refuse to answer any questions.

“You just show up and plead the Fifth and it’s over with,” he said, referring to the Constitutional Amendment that protects Americans from self-incrimination.

But that didn’t sit too well with unhinged leftists, who are now calling Graham a traitor for supporting the Constitution.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

“Lindsey Graham should resign. Retweet if you agree,” tweeted the far-left Democratic Coalition.

The group issued another tweet calling Graham a traitor, responding to a tweet by co-founder Scott Dworkin, who apparently thinks it’s treason to abide by the Constitution.

The Hill added:

Trump Jr. privately testified before the House and Senate intelligence committees in 2017.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) ripped Graham’s Sunday comments about ignoring the subpoena, saying on CNN that “suggesting that Donald Trump Jr. is above the law strikes me as unfounded and contrary to the positions that he took on Richard Nixon and on Bill Clinton and others where he has argued that the law applies to everyone and that’s the ruling of the United States Supreme Court.”

Multiple GOP senators have criticized the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), since the subpoena was issued.

“The Mueller Report cleared @DonaldJTrumpJr and he’s already spent 27 hours testifying before Congress,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who is up for reelection in 2020, tweeted last week. “Dems have made it clear this is all about politics. It’s time to move on & start focusing on issues that matter to Americans.”

We agree…  It’s time for the witch hunt to end.
