War-loving pig Lindsey Graham needs to go.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), a close ally of President Trump and military hawk, spoke to The Wall Street Journal in an interview Sunday. Here are some top takeaways.

On why Trump acted now

Regarding talks with Tehran, Trump felt Iran was "playing a game" and "didn't think they were genuine." One thing Trump "was thinking about, and I kept talking to him about, is if you do this, you reset the damage done" by the Afghanistan withdrawal by President Biden. "You'll be a new sheriff in town, and this will reset our relationship with the rest of the world. And Israel's done a magnificent job, but we need to have our fingerprints on this too." Graham spoke with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier Sunday.

Graham, Netanyahu's little messanger, with his incessant nagging to Trump to go “all in” on Iran and "close the chapter” on Khamenei needs to go.
Him and James Lankford both. Waiting for MAGA to run them both out of town.

3. Someone should do a costing of Trump's little war escapade.

MAGA only cares about money spent when it comes to foreign wars. Hit the MAGA base over the head with it and keep tying it back to Graham's influence. He is the worst of the warmongers.

He does not care where the war is, or which side is chosen as long as his stock portfolio benefits.
