“There’s a real Hamas wing of the Democratic Party who want to not help the Palestinians, but kill all the Jews. They say, ‘We are Hamas.’ There are radical elements within the Democratic Party and the country right now at large that would literally help destroy the Jewish state. We can’t wait to May 6 or 7. Mr. President, you …

“I think the court’s gonna find that presidential immunity exists for President Trump like every other president, but you got to be within the scope of being president.

“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 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.

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 Biden Administration can take out all the Iranian proxies they like, but it will not deter Iranian aggression.

Until they …

“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 …
