The Ineptitude Defense

Seeing his previous defenses of President Trump’s Ukraine policy wither away, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tried a new one today.

Said Graham: “It was incoherent. They seem to be incapable of forming a quid pro quo.”

The Week: “Graham generally defends Trump, but he does tend to criticize his foreign policy, so this comment serves as a win-win for the senator. He was able to blast Democrats for continuing their impeachment quest, while also expressing some dissatisfaction with Trump, who probably won’t be too happy to hear the backhanded defense.”
