Sen. Lindsey Graham R-S.C.) on Wednesday said that he would be hesitant to support a nominee for secretary of State who is not in favor of strict sanctions on Russia, hinting at a potential vote against President-elect Donald Trump's pick, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson.
"I can't imagine I would vote for anybody that believes that we should not sanction Russia given the fact that they did in fact interfere in our election. They've been destabilizing democracies all over the world," Graham said in an interview on CNN Wednesday....

“sooner than later.” = “sooner RATHER than later.”
Ass bite. Linda should be investigating the country that did interfere -10 times! - in Georigia's election process.
Oh wait. That would be OUR country. (DHS)
He is such an idiot.
First the CIA refuses to state they officially that it was the Russians.
Secondly, this was all reported by a left wing rag initially who only had an unnamed source which is hardly evidence or a fact.
Thirdly, isn’t it funny how these two idiots keep appearing all of a sudden after the election . Funny in a not so laughing way ether.
What is Linda’s problem with Russia? Putin has stolen her husband?
I think AIDS has invaded Lindsey’s brain.
Can I ask a stupid question?
The media are pushing this story of Russian hacking and interfering in our election.
Exactly what were they supposedly doing?? Whatever they did clearly did not affect actual votes cast and counted for candidates.
Are we supposed to believe that Hillary would have win if not for Russian interference?? But again, what exactly did Russians allegedly do??
I’ve heard multiple news stories, but nobody exactly says what the Russians did to affect our election.
And I, you little prick, would be hesitant to hesitate outing your sorry ass to the American public. “Just how much money did you take from the Clinton campaign anyway? Inquiring minds want to know...”
Man, there’s nothing worse in American politics than to have Linda Graham question your judgment.
Graham and McCain are going to be a constant vindictive thorns in trumps side for as long as he is president.
Why do people keep re-relecting these a-holes? It would be better to have liberals.
I think whatever story they can throw out there that will stick is what they will run with.
Also, they think the American people are stupid enough to fall for this crap.
Donald should send those two idiots on a “fact-finding mission” to the south pole.
I question the judgement of South Carolina and Arizona voters who keep inflicted these a$$holes on the rest of us.
Both the Republicans and Democrats were hacked, but only the Dems' emails went to wikileaks, so it must have been the Russians.
Problem with this idea: FBI says Republicans weren't hacked.
I smell impeachment of Grahmnesty and McNutcase. If it can be proven they took money from the beast as graft they can be kicked out of the Senate. Hopefully the new head of the RNC will make it happen! It could also be why Trump made the Indian chick in SC Ambassador to the soon to be deported UN! The next SC Gov. could make it happen!
I sure hope God decides to term limit Linseed real damn soon.
Graham is the proverbial turd in the punch bowl.
Hmm and just what were the Russians thinking watching the West expand NATO to their border, the US government actively interfere in the Ukraine and Crimea. They also watched while we dismantled their client states, under facile pretenses in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
The covert games played by the Obama-Clinton regime were stupid. Like it or not we are going to have to find a way to coexist with the Russians. Since the end of WW 2 we had a policy of “well we don’t like the fact he Russians are there but there really is nothing we can do about it.
The Russians are reacting the same way we did over Cuba and Nicaragua. Hell we invaded Grenada in 1983 largely to stop a Soviet bomber base getting built by the Cubans.
The US under Obama-Clinton has been aggressively pissing in Russian’s sand box.
Libya and Syria were no threat to US Security. Our dismantling their client in Libya and trying to in Syria looks like a deliberate provocation to them. The Russians don’t buy the “humanitarian” argument. They think we are trying aggressively to expand our sphere of influence at their expense.
These are the same sort of stupid geo poltical games that helped start World War 1.
Hey Linda, the 80’s are calling. They want their foreign policy back.
We complain about Russia trading with Iran...but looks like we just made a HUGE trade deal with Iran.
And the sanctions on North Korea....don't do a damn thing.
