'This dude is dirty': Lindsey Graham hit with MAGA fury for 'contradicting' Trump

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is experiencing heat from the MAGA wing of the Republican party after publicly contradicting Donald Trump.

Graham said in an interview that he didn't believe government officials who investigated Trump's connections to the events of Jan. 6 while he was still in office the first time, such as Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, deserved prison time.

"US senator Lindsey Graham has said officials who investigated Donald Trump supporters’ deadly attack on the US Capitol in 2021 should not be imprisoned – despite what his fellow Republican has argued in advance of his second presidency," the Guardian reported in an article titled, "Lindsey Graham contradicts Trump by saying January 6 investigators should not go to jail."

Trump allies were quick to speak out. Derrick Evans, a former member of the West Virginia House a former Jan 6th prisoner, said, "Easy for you to say Lindsey."

"They didn’t ruin your life with LIES and destroy evidence that would exonerate you. As a J6 Prisoner, I want to see them in prison, same goes for your sorry a--," Evans wrote.

A popular MAGA account called PrayingMarine said Graham "point blank" rejected the suggestion of jail time for those on the Jan. 6 committee.

"What is up with this guy? Who controls him? What dirt do they have on him?" the account asked on social media. "Other than him along with [NO NAME] involvement with Ukraine? Trump is right. This dude is dirty."

Another popular conservative influencer, Gunther Eagleman™, said, "Lindsey Graham is a POS."

MAGA influencer @SirStevenKJ said, "Lindsey Graham is a snake."

"He had no problem with innocent protestors and grandmas having their lives destroyed over Jan. 6," the account wrote. "However, he believes the TREASONOUS Jan 6 Committee should not face prosecution or jail time. Nasty."

Lindsey Graham says that he does not think Jan 6th committee members should go to prison.

Easy for you to say Lindsey. They didn’t ruin your life with LIES & destroy evidence that would exonerate you.

As a J6 Prisoner, I want to see them in prison, same goes for your sorry ass.
