Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday bashed the Republicans who are openly backing Vice President Kamala Harris for president over former President Donald Trump.
“To every Republican supporting her, what the hell are you doing? You’re supporting the most radical nominee in the history of American politics,” Mr. Graham, South Carolina said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
“What are you doing? You’re trying to convince me that Donald Trump’s rhetoric is the danger to this country?” he said. “The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris. Her fingerprints are all over this disaster and I can’t take four more years of this crap.
“When you support her, you’re supporting four more years of garbage policy,” he said. “So what the hell are you doing as a Republican, blessing this stuff?”
Mr. Graham was asked by host Kristen Welker about Republicans from Mr. Trump’s previous administration who have now spoken out against him, like retired U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley calling Mr. Trump a “fascist to the core” in journalist Bob Woodward’s new book “War.”
“General Milley, you have a right to your opinion, but I don’t fear Donald Trump,” he said. “I fear what’s going on in the world today. If you want the world to stay on fire, vote for her.”
There are several Republicans who have come out in support of Ms. Harris, including former Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, and former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, among others.
