Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday called for, sparking backlash from some Republicans who don’t want to see young Americans die in Iran.
Unlike the American families he’s demanding warm bodies from, Lindsey Graham has no children.
But Graham went on a more than 6-minute tirade on Monday night’s episode of Hannity, claiming that the Iranian Ayatollah was “miscalculated,” and that America was at risk of the Iranian “religious Nazis,” from which “we literally dodged a nuclear bullet.”
He further went on to trash non Jews and non Zionists, labeling them “anti-semites” and “isolationists.” I’m not with you. I’m with Israel. I will be with Israel to our dying day. They’re the best ally we could hope for,” he said.
“To our friends in Israel, God bless you. I’m with you in every way, to all the ‘anti-seminites,’ to all the isolationists, I don’t— Forget it. I’m not with you. I’m with Israel. I will be with Israel to our dying day. They’re the best ally we could hope for. So, we have a commander in chief and President Trump, who I think is Ronald Reagan plus, plus, plus.”
Most alarmingly, Graham demanded that the people of South Carolina “send their sons and daughters over to the Mideast.”
WATCH:
Graham: I would just say this: When I go back to South Carolina, I try to make the argument, if we don’t hit them now, they will hit us later. When it comes to radical Islam, you may be tired of fighting them; they’re not tired of fighting you. When I ask people in South Carolina, how many people believe in this room, if the Ayatollah had a nuclear weapon he would use it, 90% raised their hand. I want to keep the war from coming here. The best way to protect America is hit them over there before they get here. The best way to protect America is to have allies. To our friends in Saudi Arabia, I am willing to do a treaty to go to war for you, but you got to step up and let America know you’re a reliable ally.
If you cannot join this fight— Iran has attacked your country viciously— what fight are you going to join? This is a time of choosing. We need to put a coalition together that stands against evil, that insists on a better Mideast. Let’s don’t go backward; let’s go forward. And just finish on this, to the American people, we live in a world of great danger. You ignore this danger at your own peril. And in Donald J. Trump, you have a common-sense, reasoned man. He doesn’t want entanglement, he doesn’t want military action, unless he has to. And in this case, he had to. 430 grams of highly enriched uranium was possessed by this regime. They could have made 11 bombs within weeks, not years, if we had not acted. So, to President Trump, you saved the world from a religious Nazi regime having nuclear weapons.
God bless you, God bless the men and women, Epic Fury, God bless the seven who failed. Let’s finish the job. To our allies, step up. Get our air bases out of Spain. They’re not reliable. Move all those airplanes to a country that would let us use them when we’re threatened by a regime like Iran. To our friends in Spain, man, you’ve lost your way. I don’t want to do business with you anymore. I want to our bases— our air bases— out of Spain, into a country that will let us use them. To our Arab friends, I’ve tried to help you construct a new Mideast. You need to up your game here. I can’t go to South Carolina and say we’re fighting, and you won’t publicly fight. What you’re doing behind the scenes, that has to stop. The double dealing of the Arab world when it comes to this stuff needs to end.
I go back to South Carolina, I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Mideast. What I want you to do in the Mideast, to our friends in Saudi Arabia and other places, step forward and say, “This is my fight, too. I join America. I’m publicly involved in bringing this regime down.” If you don’t, you’re making a great mistake, and you’re going to cut off the ability to have a better relationship with the United States. I say this as a friend.
Nancy Mace, the Republican Congresswoman, also from South Carolina, questioned Graham’s mental sanity. Mace shared the clip, commenting, “What in the world would possess anyone to say this?”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna also chimed in, slamming Graham’s demands for US troops on the ground in Iran and demanding that he be “the first to volunteer.”
“There are some in the Senate that advocate for war everywhere. Lindsey Graham is one of them. He does NOT tell the President what to do, nor does he control Congress,” Luna said.
“I have spoken with the administration a number of times, as well as other members of Congress over the last week or so, and nothing has changed regarding boots on the ground. NO BOOTS on the ground. ”

Even RINO John “the Maverick” McCain’s daughter, Meghan McCain, railed against Graham, calling for “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,” she said.
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.
