Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) cranked up the Donald Trump sycophancy by blasting the presidents Democratic enemies during his appearance on Fox & Friends Monday morning.
Graham was on to talk about how the president has been handling tensions between Iran and the United States, but Ainsley Earhardt shifted the conversation towards new polls projecting Trump would lose to several of the Democratic candidates challenging him for 2020. Graham responded that [Trumps] gonna win, just knock it down a notch
and then the senator went full throttle.
We all know [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and this crowd are a bunch of communists. They hate Israel, they hate our own country. Theyre calling the guards along our border, Border Patrol agents concentration camp guards. They accuse people support Israel doing it for the Benjamins. Theyre anti-Semitic. Theyre anti-America. Dont get down, aim higher. We dont need to know anything about them personally. Talk about their policies.
Putting aside Grahams immediate double-take about making slights on political opponents, it seems obvious he was referencing Trumps attacks on AOC and her progressive colleagues over the weekend, which have been deemed racist by a plethora of critics. When Brian Kilmeade asked if Trumps tweets were negative, Graham continued his charge against the disgusting agenda from the presidents opponents, but he did recognize them as American citizens duly-elected.

OP
Some think that the resolution condemning Trumps racism is a waste of time. I disagree.
