Unlike the audio Burns and Martin leaked of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy bashing Trump in the aftermath of the attack, the audio of Graham was recorded on Jan. 6 as the Capitol Police were still trying to clear the building. The comments also came in an interview Martin conducted with Graham, not in a recording of a phone call that was leaked to him.
The attack on the Capitol may have rallied the nation “for a while,” but that “while” certainly didn’t last as long as Graham may have imagined. Republican lawmakers and conservative media came back around to supporting Trump in a matter of weeks, if not sooner, and in the year-plus since the attack the party has come to embrace it. The Republican National Committee described it as “legitimate political discourse” earlier this year. Sen.
Cruz did so while speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Graham was a guest on the same show and, wouldn’t you know it, he, saying that the former president “knew when to tell [the rioters] to leave.” Trump famously waited hours before tweeting that his supporters should “go home” from the Capitol. “We love you,” Trump added. “You’re very special.”
