“To our friends in Israel, do what you must to defend yourselves against Iranian aggression. I, along with many others in the United States, will do our best to support you. “My concern is that the Biden Administration’s pathetic weakness throughout the world — not Israel’s strong response to being attacked — is the source of catastrophic conflicts. “Unlike President …

The Hill reports: Forty-three Senate Republicans led by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) signed a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) demanding a trial on the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, which House managers are due to present to the Senate next week. Notably, six Republicans did not sign the letter, including some who have …

“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country. At first he wanted no Abortions under any circumstances, then he was up to 6 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, now he’s up to 15 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, but what he doesn’t understand, or perhaps he does, is the Radical Left Democrats, …

“I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue. Dobbs does not require that conclusion legally and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child – not geography. “The states’ rights only rationale today runs contrary to an American consensus that would limit late-term abortions and will age about as …

Axios reports: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was booed during former President Trump’s remarks Saturday following his projected South Carolina primary victory. It’s not the first time the South Carolina senator, who has relatively low approval ratings in his state, has faced an unfriendly Trump crowd, particularly in his home state. Graham was met with boos from the crowd while appearing …

“I want to have a system where if you don’t pay up you get kicked out. But no, I’m not inviting Russia to invade Ukraine. President Trump is right to want NATO nations to meet their obligation of 2 percent. We need to turn it into an obligation that means something. I’m a big fan of NATO, but there’s $70-80 …

“To the Prime Minister of Poland: I could care less what you think. To the Prime Minister of Poland: if Ronald Reagan were alive today, we wouldn’t have this broken border. To the Prime Minister of Poland: I want to help Ukraine. I want to help make a stronger NATO. But my country is on fire. We’ve had 7 million …

The Hill reports: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday dug into the timing of President Biden’s response to last week’s deadly drone strikes, arguing the U.S. gave Iraq and Syria a “weeks notice,” that only served to kill “some dumbass,” who did not know the counter-attack was coming. “If the goal is to deter Iran, you’re failing miserably. If the …

The Independent reports: At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on social media safety, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told major tech CEOS they have “blood on their hands.” “Mr Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us, I know you don’t mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands, you have a product that’s killing people,” …

“The Biden Administration can take out all the Iranian proxies they like, but it will not deter Iranian aggression. I am calling on the Biden Administration to strike targets of significance inside Iran, not only as reprisal for the killing of our forces, but as deterrence against future aggression. “The only thing the Iranian regime understands is force. Until they …

Politico reports: “After fighting a four-month legal battle all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to block his grand jury subpoena — and losing — South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham turned on a dime ‘and threw Trump under the bus,’ according to a source familiar with his testimony. According to secret grand jury testimony in Fulton County confirmed by …

The Hill reports: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday appeared to backtrack on earlier criticism of former President Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 and suggested instead that his presidential immunity defense was “a legitimate claim” as he moves forward with various court battles. In an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Graham was pressed on whether he stands by …

“There were numerous legal and factual concerns about the 2020 presidential election. As the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, along with many others, I expressed concerns and investigated different allegations. The president has the right and duty, just like others involved in the process, to challenge the results. While I voted to certify the 2020 election, there were problems. …

“It’s not a law-based ruling. It is a political decision. The hatred of Trump is so widespread. You know, the Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College, make D.C. and Puerto Rico a state, and nationalize elections. This Colorado Supreme Court made a political decision. In my view, there is no constitutional basis for the decision …

The Hill reports: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) declared “war” Friday over a New York state bill that would require some Chick-fil-A restaurants to operate on Sundays. “This is war,” he wrote on X. He continued in a second post, threatening to introduce legislation that would withhold federal funds from cities that require the fast food chain to stay open on …

“I haven’t really been paying that much attention to it. They have to prove that President Biden somehow financially benefited from the business enterprises of Hunter Biden. If there were a smoking gun, I think we’d be talking about it. But you know, the narrative that Hunter Biden presented is falling apart. They added that Joe Biden knew nothing about …

“He’s so naïve. I mean, I just lost all confidence in this guy. How about focusing on protecting our soldiers, men and women in Syria and Iraq? Strategic defeat would be inflaming the Palestinians? They’re already inflamed. They’re taught from the time they’re born to hate the Jews and to kill them. They’re taught math: If you have 10 Jews …

“If somebody asked us after World War II, ‘Is there a limit what would you do to make sure that Japan and Germany don’t conquer the world? Is there any limit what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews?’ The answer is no. There is no limit. But here’s what you need to do. …

Mediaite reports: Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blasted comments from former President Donald Trump in which he called Hezbollah “very smart,” and slammed Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Graham was confronted about the former president’s remarks about Hezbollah during a speech in Florida on Wednesday. “Israel’s communication minister called …

“I want to be very clear. If you kill the hostages — the Hamas has hostages, Americans and Israeli hostages — they start killing those hostages, if there’s an attack by Hezbollah in the north, creating two fronts for Israel, what I would do is, I would bomb Iran’s oil infrastructure. “The money financing terrorism comes from Iran. It’s time …
