Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, didn’t hold back when it came to his opinion of Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin.
Joining Fox News host Sean Hannity, Graham torched Martin for comparing Iranians protesting “a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent” to American leftists “marching after the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good.” This didn’t sit well with the senator, who told the Hannity host exactly how he feels about the DNC chair’s statements.
Watch:
“Ken Martin is a worthless piece of crap. Can you imagine this guy fighting for freedom? To compare President Trump and the Trump regime to the ayatollah means you’ve got the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome in the world. Go to hell!” Graham said.
“President Trump is standing with people demanding their freedom. Why are these people in the streets this long? They believe Trump has their back. President Trump said, ‘If they come after you, they gotta go through me.’ If you thought Afghanistan was a debacle, it was. The only thing worse would be to entice people out into the streets against a brutal dictator and pull the plug on them,” he continued.
“To anybody at the White House who thinks the ayatollah would honor a deal to give up his nuclear ambition, you’re a fool! Donald Trump is not a fool. These people are out in the street because they believe in Trump. He’s the first president since 1979 to pick the people over the ayatollah, and the leader of the Democratic Party, you’re sick, pal. Where are the Democrats? You cheer on Hamas who wants to kill the Jews,” Graham ranted. “Now you got people in Iran like the crown prince who want to be our friend, but because it may happen on Trump’s watch, you’re belittling the movement. These people are dying by the thousands. We are Americans. You know, if this regime falls, we’re safer, we’re more prosperous, we’ll take down the largest state sponsor of terrorism. Trump is Reagan. He’s not Obama, he’s not Ken Martin.”
“No boots on the ground, but this needs to end, and you know what we should do? We should attack the infrastructure that allows the killing to happen. The people in charge of the killing should go. The infrastructure should go. I’m not advocating invading the country, but I am advocating not doing an Afghanistan here.”
“I can tell you, I know Donald Trump pretty well. There will be no boots on the ground, there will be no forever wars, it will be a surgical strike, and it will stop the slaughter and it will be effective,” Hannity weighed in.
