South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly of a heart attack at age 71.
Graham was a close ally of President Trump.
And now Trump revealed Lindsey Graham’s final wish that has Democrats shaking in rage.
Trump Says Graham Would Have Backed Eliminating the Filibuster
Graham was a supporter of President Trump’s SAVE Act, which would eliminate election fraud.
But Senate Democrats are deploying the filibuster to block the bill.
In an interview on Fox & Friends, Trump told the hosts he believed Graham would have supported abolishing the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act since Democrats would weaponize the filibuster to force a government shutdown in November to boost their midterm election prospects.
“And I think he would have felt the same way about terminating the filibuster, which was so important,” Trump said. “I mean, it’s so important that Republicans have to do it. It’s so insane. Otherwise, we’re gonna have a shutdown in September, and we have a debt ceiling problem coming in two years, and if you terminate the filibuster, everything goes away. And we do anything we want, we pass everything we want, and the Democrats are gonna do it, and he started to see that. Cause everyone was against — not everybody against, 20% were against. He was one, and now he was starting to say, ‘Terminate the filibuster,’ otherwise we’ll have crazy, ridiculous, Trump-deranged. These people suffer from a very fine disease known as Trump derangement syndrome. And he was seeing that,” Trump stated.
The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot.
And the bill would also ban mass mail-in voting.
Why Trump Wants to Pass the SAVE Act
Trump has said that passing the SAVE Act will guarantee GOP election victories by clamping down on Democrat cheating and cited the Los Angeles Mayoral race as an example.
In that race, Spencer Pratt appeared poised to make the runoff until suspicious late-arriving mail ballots knocked him out in favor of a socialist.
“Look what happened to the kid in California. They sent a million ballots. Nobody knew where they came from. So you don’t do mail-in ballots or if you go on vacation, you get pass. We make it nice and easy,” Trump stated.
Trump praised Pratt and said he stopped Democrats from pulling a similar stunt to block Republican Steve Hilton from advancing to the General Election in the gubernatorial contest.
“Spencer Pratt came up to my office and said he thought he won, I said why didn’t you complain? He didn’t know who to complain to. But what they did that guy was unbelievable. He’s a nice guy, he worked so hard. And they found millions of ballots, you know? And they took the election away from him. They almost did it to Steve Hilton. I complained, I got the U.S. Attorneys involved and FBI and soon as — he was, they were putting out reports, ‘Steve Hilton is starting to fade.’ He’s running, as you know, for governor of California. And I said, ‘Here we go, they are going to find ballots,’ and they said he was starting to fade. He wasn’t fading. It was the opposite. And I put the U.S. Attorney involved, and they said, ‘We will know in two weeks.’ Can you imagine, this is a week after the election, they say he’s starting to fade. And then I got the U.S. Attorney involved, and they didn’t know in two weeks…” Trump continued.
Trump made his wishes known regarding the SAVE Act for weeks.
The only question is why Senate Republicans keep rebuffing him.
