No one could accuse Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of being a sycophant for President Donald Trump. He doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with Trump and isn’t shy about saying so.
But sometimes he does agree with him, and when he does he is also not shy about saying so. In the midst of his tweets regarding concerns over pulling out of Syria, he put out this little doozey for the Democrats:

@LindseyGrahamSC
To Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats:
No Wall Money, No Deal.
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
Some people were concerned that Trump would “cave” to Democrats over the wall. But he has stood firm and now he has Graham backing him up.
According to The Hill, the battle between the Democrats and Republicans, which has already led to a partial government shutdown, may take time to end. That is because the House “passed an amended version” of the Senate’s continuing resolution providing more than $5 billion for the border wall and security.
The bill has stalled in the Senate, where The Hill reports that it does not have the support it needs to pass. Could that change?
Graham has been a senator since 2002 and was elected to the House before that. He presumably has some influence amongst his fellow members of Congress.
With him backing the president on funding and building the wall, it is possible that others in the Senate will do so as well, if he presses them on it. His Senate biography notes that he is “one of the strongest proponents of a robust national defense.”

Love he's supporting him on the wall deal. I also like he's not under no name anymore!

Whether or not I agree with Lindsey Graham on everything, or whether or not he agrees with the President on everything, I'm happy to see LG standing up with POTUS for the Wall, to defend America and Americans.

IS LG bipolar?

I dont think so - I think he knows what he believes in and does not blindly follow like he did when No Name was around. He has concerns about Syria and that is ok - let the debate happen. I wish he would be more discreet about his opposition but our country is moving past that expectation I think. I dont want puppets who agree with everything the President does, do you?

Being against leaving Syria and for the DS Saudi Arabia coup attempt are pretty shady

i think he's flip flopping but essentially or eventually flipping over.

It's like he is illiterate to Q and still buys the old paradigm. In that old story we need middle east oil and must control the region Now we have our own oil, the importance of controlling the middle east is no longer our priority.

To all those confused with Lindsay Graham. He gets himself in the MSM spotlight by disagreeing with Trump over things that are GOING to happen that way he can't be called a Trump "nut" then when the public really needs swaying over issues like the wall Graham comes in as a perceived level headed guy backing Trump.. Remember you're watching a movie.

Hey, the Senate is the problem, NOT THE Dems. Why blame the Dems? The Rep house passed the 5B$ funding, it is the Republican Senate, that is fucked up. WHY DON'T THEY VOTE ON IT and use the 51 vote nuclear option? If they don't vote on it, I think this mess is owned by the Reps. Just vote already and pass the 5B$ house bill.

"McConnell rejects using nuclear option on wall ... Republican Sens. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) immediately announced Friday morning that they would not vote for the nuclear option.
The retiring Senate president pro tempore, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), also said he opposed the idea."

Like I said. The Rep. Senators are worried that the Dems will use it the next time when they are in power. Duh - of course they will. They already did use it under Obozo. The Dems play dirty and the Reps are pussies. Don't they get it? This is war!!

It'd be great if it led to a full government shut down
