Graham to GOP detractors: ‘What the hell?’ – Washington Examiner
In a recent appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized Republicans and former Trump administration officials who have shifted their support to Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election. Graham condemned them for backing what he describes as “the most radical nominee” in American political history, referring to Harris’s progressive policies such as the Green New Deal and Medicare for All. He expressed disbelief at Republicans supporting her, urging them to reconsider their stance, arguing that Harris’s influence on various policies, including her role related to Afghanistan and her vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, has led to significant issues in the country. Graham emphasized that the danger lies in the policies of the current administration, not Trump’s rhetoric, and he voiced concern about the consequences of a potential Harris presidency.
Graham reprimands Republicans supporting Harris: ‘What the hell are you doing?’
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blasted Republicans and former members of the Trump administration who have since abandoned the GOP’s candidate to support Vice President Kamala Harris.
Graham, a foreign policy hawk, said Republicans who now oppose former President Donald Trump’s bid for president have turned their backs on the party for the “most radical nominee” that the Democratic Party has ever had.
“To every Republican supporting her — what the hell are you doing? You’re supporting the most radical nominee in the history of American politics,” Graham said Sunday in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker.
“The Green New Deal, Medicare for All — she was the last person in the room before Biden decided to withdraw from Afghanistan. She was the border czar. She cast a tiebreaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act that gives you high prices,” Graham said.
“You’re trying to convince me that Donald Trump’s rhetoric is the danger to this country? The danger to this country is the policies of [President Joe Biden] and Harris. Her fingerprints are all over this disaster, and I can’t take four more years of this crap,” said Graham.

Trump’s rhetoric has amped up in recent weeks after he began to tout earlier this month that, if elected, he would use the military to go after “the enemy from within.”
The reference was first made against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), though Trump has since expanded the use to say he would go after “radical-left lunatics.”
Graham appeared unphased by Trump’s comments and maintained that the Republicans were “winning, and going to win, not because of what Donald Trump’s saying, but because of what they’ve done for four years.”
Though at times during the Trump administration, Graham and Trump butt heads, the South Carolina senator has been an ardent supporter of Trump.
