Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) thought he had the perfect issue to use against his Democratic challenger, Jaime Harrison: Taxes.
Last week, Graham released his own income tax returns and urged Harrison to do the same. When Harrison didn’t, Graham tried to troll him with this tweet:
It’s now been 5 days, so I’ll ask again: Where are your tax returns, @HarrisonJaime? What are you hiding? https://t.co/AJypDZxtm1 pic.twitter.com/PQ3PLoNqhz

So Harrison called Graham’s bluff and responded to his tweet:
Done. Now do President Trump. https://t.co/dphjGfMY6R

Game, set, and match, Jamie Harrison.
That set off a chain reaction of response tweets aimed at Graham, who probably wishes he had never made that posting, especially since it served to humiliate him and Donald Trump:
Well, @LindseyGrahamSC? We are all waiting. When will you demand the same of our president that you demanded of your opponent?

Bye bye Graham!!!
It’s tough when the bus you’re driving stops to throw you off, and then runs you over, eh!

Nice, swift, condensed burn. Can’t wait to vote for you. At least you didn’t collect 800k from the Russians.

As a SC resident, I don’t care about either of your taxes. I do care about children murdered in school shootings, healthcare costs, & revamping the entire school system to year round schools with meals. I also care that for the decade that I’ve live here, Lindsey’s done nothing.
