On CNN, Ilhan Omar tries to defend tweet in which she called Lindsey Graham "compromised," saying, "I'm pretty sure there's something happening w/him...he is somehow compromised"
After host points out she has no evidence for her claim, Omar walks it back, says it's "her opinion"
@atrupar
I think she's correct and hopefully the next time she'll point out that Graham made some really noticeable changes to his behavior in 2018. If not compromised, it's strange.
@atrupar
Now if only
@jimsciutto
, et al, at
@CNN
would do this with all the Russian conspiracy theorists we might get some honesty there as well. Only opinion there, too, after all.

@benshapiro
Yes, and this is what we want in our leaders. Someone who is still functioning as if they are still in their dorm at university. Speculating the hell out of life.
@atrupar
Many Americans do agree with her that Lindsay Graham's abrupt changes make him seem compromised. As private citizens we can tweet (pretty much) whatever the hell we want. Unfortunately, she has learned the hard way as an elected official, she simply cannot.

We won't forget
@LindseyGrahamSC
Dec 14, 2016, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said his campaign email account was hacked by Russians
"They hacked into my campaign account"
You know Trump is a kook, crazy & unfit for office. He's blackmailing you?
@atrupar
Here it are the 2 stories of
@LindseyGrahamSC
Both directly from Graham:
1) Trump is crazy, a kook & unfit for office
2) Concerned w endless attempt by American press to label Trump as some kind of kook, not fit to be President
Now this is weird
@atrupar
Martha MacCallum rolls tape on Lindsey Graham.
1st Graham was honest & direct w Trump: there will be "holy hell to pay" if Trump fires Sessions as AG.
Next Graham suddenly loses track of space & time - begins to giggle
@atrupar
Nice dance. Not mentioned is her lie about the compromise. It's the rumour that Graham is gay and her statement made by anyone else would result in flood of charges of homophobia
