The Best Thing Trump Can Do For The Iran War Effort Is Shutting Up Lindsey Graham
Shawn Fleetwood
The Trump administration’s messaging on America’s military involvement in Iran has been, to put it lightly, a mess. And it’s clear after listening to his remarks about the conflict that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is not helping the situation.
Since the U.S.-Israeli-led operation against Tehran began, Graham has rushed to every microphone and television camera available to express his unbridled enthusiasm about the campaign. When he isn’t bragging about how much money the U.S. is going to make as a result of the conflict, he’s calling for more American intervention in countries like Cuba and Lebanon.
The most recent instance of this media blitz came on Monday evening, when Graham went on Fox News’ Hannity to deliver an unhinged rant that would make both supporters and critics of the strikes cringe.
During his roughly 10-minute screed, South Carolina’s senior senator repeated claims that if Trump “had not done this, [Iran] could have had a nuclear capability within … weeks, not months, and if they had a [nuclear] weapon, they would use it.” He then contended that anyone who doubts such assertions is “stupid” and a “fool.”
But that was only the beginning.
