“How can President Trump avoid prosecution in New York?” Graham tweeted on Friday, with a “thoughtful face” emoji.
He then answered his own question: “On his way to the DA’s office on Tuesday, Trump should break some windows, rob some stores and beat up a cop. He would be released IMMEDIATELY!”
Presumably, this was intended as some kind of joke implying that criminals can get away with murder in any liberal, soft-on-crime New York. Or maybe Graham really is recommending that the former president physically attack a police officer, you know, like some of His Followers have made.
The senator’s tweet left many Twitter users shocked, but not surprised.
