RINO Senator Lindsey Graham is getting on every conservative’s last nerve.
But this was the final straw.
And Megyn Kelly ripped Lindsey Graham to shreds for this shocking performance.
As American Media Watch Dog reports:
Conservatives have long distrusted South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham because Graham supported amnesty, gun control, the Green New Deal, and his hawkish foreign policy.
Even President Trump used to mock Graham’s commitment to endless wars in the Middle East.
“Lindsey Graham would like to stay in the Middle East for the next thousand years, with thousands of soldiers, fighting other people’s wars,” Trump said back in 2019.
Graham has now taken it upon himself to act as the public face of President Trump’s decision to take military action against Iran to prevent it from having a nuclear weapon.
But an appearance on Sean Hannity’s show raised eyebrows among Trump supporters.
That’s because Graham began talking like he was the President and started making promises to other countries to enter a wider, prolonged war that President Trump wants to avoid.
In one stunning remark, Graham told Hannity that he was telling South Carolina parents to send their children to the Middle East.
“I go back to South Carolina. I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Mideast,” Graham stated.
Graham then told Saudi Arabia he would enter into a mutual defense agreement that would commit America to further war.
“Here is what I wanna say to Saudi Arabia tonight: I am willing to make a mutual defense agreement with your country to give you protection in perpetuity. Under the agreement I have been pushing — and I hope we can continue to talk about — if you are attacked by Iran, we would go to war for you,” Graham declared.
In one interview, Graham usurped President Trump’s authority as Commander-in-Chief and tried to sabotage Trump’s message to the American people that this was a limited strike that wouldn’t turn into an endless war like in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Grahm’s comments offended Trump supporters across the spectrum.
Megyn Kelly faulted Sean Hannity for allowing Graham to speak for six straight minutes without pushback.
“I just have to say upfront, Hannity offered zero pushback to any of this,” Kelly began.
Kelly argued that Hannity did a disservice to the audience and the President by allowing Graham to try to hijack President Trump’s foreign policy.
“Fox prides itself on having, allegedly, more independents watching its programming than any other cable news channel. Well, that’s not saying much, but why not service them and offer both sides? Like, at least you’re not going to have somebody who actually disagrees with Lindsey Graham, but you as the anchor — I used to do this, I know a thing or two about how to anchor a show that would wind up becoming the number one show in cable — for a Fox News audience in a way that’s meaningful, offer push back if you don’t have the other side. You, Sean, have to be on the other side!” Kelly added.
Kelly said she and 77,000,000 other Americans elected President Trump because they trusted his judgment on foreign policy, and Lindsey Graham’s attempts to sell America on a larger war than Trump planned weren’t welcome.
“We elected President Trump,” she said. “That’s who we want in that office. We do not want some crazed, childless maniac from South Carolina calling the shots in the Middle East,” Kelly concluded.
Meghan McCain supports the war in Iran, and even she begged Lindsey Graham to get off TV, arguing that his hysterical rhetoric was damaging President Trump’s ability to maintain public approval for destroying Iran’s nuclear capability.
“I’ve known Lindsey Graham since I was a child. I am imploring anyone who will listen in the Trump administration to stop sending this man out as a surrogate. He is scaring people and doing damage to whatever message you’re trying to sell to the American public about the Iran war,” McCain wrote on X.
Real Clear Politics’ Carl Cannon, son of Ronald Reagan biographer Lou Cannon, also mocked Graham’s thirst for more and bigger wars.
“So this has nothing to do with Ronald Reagan. It’s George W. Bush on steroids and acid,” Cannon said on the Real Clear Politics podcast.
