President Donald Trump earned a wave of backlash from the political right after endorsing Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. for re-election last week.
A torrent of replies flooded Trump's Truth Social post as people disagreed with the president's move, including retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who very briefly served as national security advisor during Trump's first term.
"Not someone I can get behind. I’ll go to the gates with you but I won’t take one step forward with him," Flynn wrote.
Trump declared in the Truth Social post that Graham has his "Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election" and that the senator "WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN."
Sorry... I am not with Trump at all with this one. Not one bit," conservative commentator and crack Trump impressionist Shawn Farash tweeted.
"Just say NO to Lindsey Graham," conservative commentator Chad Prather wrote.
Townhall columnist Scott Morefield opined, "Trump endorsing Lindsey Graham, in a state where an eggplant with an R beside their name would win, with the promise that he ‘will not let us down’ no less, while at the same time castigating real, non-RINO conservatives like Chip Roy, Bob Good & Thomas Massie, just shows that, while we should appreciate how he’s running the country, his ‘endorsements’ should be taken with a heavy grain of salt."
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., hauled in hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations this month after Trump trashed him on Truth Social for opposing a government-funding measure to avert a partial government shutdown.
