Lindsey Graham under fire for calling Joe Biden a 'felon', internet says 'your guy committed crimes'

WASHINGTON, DC: Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is facing a wave of criticism on social media Tuesday, June 18, after making controversial remarks about President Joe Biden.

In an interview with Jesse Watters, Graham declared, “The next time you hear the word felon in this election, I think the felon in this election is Joe Biden.”

He further accused Biden of criminal actions, stating, “What he’s doing to the country is criminal. His border policies are allowing people to be raped and murdered on the street.”

Donald Trump's legal woes

Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, was found guilty by a Manhattan jury last month on all counts in his historic hush money trial.

He was convicted of falsifying business records to cover up an alleged sex scandal during his 2016 presidential campaign.

Additionally, Trump faces three other criminal cases, including two related to his coup attempt and one concerning his handling of classified documents and alleged efforts to obstruct the subsequent investigation.

Graham's assertion that “what happened to Trump in New York was a bunch of BS” and “a political hit job” only fueled the online outrage.
