Top Republicans are putting conditions on accepting the outcome of the election in November.

Republicans apparently haven’t cast aside the possibility of overturning another election.

At least two top GOP lawmakers have felt the need to add caveats to statements affirming that they’ll embrace the outcome come November, including the former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham.

“Will you accept the results of the 2024 election no matter who wins?” prompted MSNBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker on Sunday.

“Yeah, I’ll accept them if there’s no massive cheating,” Graham said. In the same breath, Graham specified that he “accepted 2020” as a measure of his commitment to accepting election outcomes, even though he clearly hasn’t let go of the outcome enough not to buy in a little to his party’s election interference scandal.

    Lindsay Graham needs to report to her Democracy Officer at once. These statements sound extremely antidemocratic, as if they’re coming right from the speakers of a socialist bot.

    In all seriousness, this is traitor to democracy behavior. These clowns should be exiled, or at least barred from public office and have their rights to participate in democracy revoked. If you push agendas to install anything less democratic than a republic or democracy, you are fucken out.

      Just as a note, Lindsay Graham is a man.
