DNC chair Jaime Harrison on Monday accused Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) of "embarrassing" himself and South Carolina after the senator said that he would use his constitutional right as described in the Second Amendment to defend him home with his AR-15 if necessary.
Harrison lost soundly to Graham for his Senate seat by 10 points even though he raised a record amount of money to lose. Graham raised $108 million and Harrison $130 million according to his campaign, which would never tell a lie.

On Monday, Mehdi Hasan, the guest host of MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes," played the clip of Graham's appearance on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace.
"I own an AR-15. If there is a natural disaster in South Carolina where the cops can't protect my neighborhood, my house will be the last one that the gang will come to because I can defend myself," Graham told Wallace.
"At the end of the day if you think an assault weapons ban is what the country needs, bring it to the floor of the United States Senate and vote on it. I welcome that debate," Graham said.
His comments come amid renewed debate of owning assault weapons following last week's supermarket shooting in Boulder that left 10 people without weapons dead.
"Lindsey Graham lives in central South Carolina. You have a population probably less than the block that you live on. The only gang that Lindsey Graham's gonna see in central is probably at the Walmart standing in the one line that is open," Harrison ignorantly said.
"It's ridiculous, Lindsey is ridiculous. And he just needs to be quiet and his folks just need to tell him to stay off-camera because he's embarrassing himself and the state of South Carolina," the sore loser whined.
Harrison, who is Black, seems to be ignorant of the fact that Black folks were historically not allowed to have guns until after the Civil War in which roughly 620,000 people died. He is oblivious to the notion that people have the right, not only to defend themselves against a criminal element, but against a criminal government that would seek to make the masses impotent to stop them.

Our rights are not given to us by government megalomaniacs on the left who want the power to control the people--our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable. We have these rights at birth and the government has no right to take them away.
But they continue to try, and try, and wear away at our rights one little piece at a time. And we give in, one little piece at a time.
