VIDEO OF THE DAY: Lindsey Graham breaks down on air, cries during icky live interview
The Republican lap dog of the south tearfully warned that a Herschel Walker loss in next month's Senate runoff race in Georgia would "deter people of color" from becoming conservative. Uh, right.

Stooges doing Gov. Greg Abbott's inhumane bidding sent another bus full of migrants north — this time to the City of Brotherly Love — without warning.
