Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina warned Friday evening that Washington could cut off funding to the United Nations — as well as to certain member states — if the Security Council passes a resolution against Israeli settlements Friday evening.
“If the United Nations moves forward with the ill-conceived resolution, I will work to form a bipartisan coalition to suspend or significantly reduce United States assistance to the United Nations,” Graham said in a statement.
The resolution cannot pass if Washington exercises its veto power at the council, though Israel and American officials exchanged blows in the media Friday evening amid reports that the Obama administration did not plan to do so.
Earlier Israel’s envoy to the UN Danny Danon urged Washington to veto any such motion at the Security Council. …

Chuckie Schumer may actually support this move.
The fat queer is working overtime in an effort to apprea relevant (and he is failing miserably!)
Linda got the memo?
“When did Linda get the spine transplant?”
He didn’t. He’s running his sump on an issue he doesn’t really in just so he can point to his words later on to deflect criticism.
That pattern of behavior is most very well established.
This gets him on the Sunday talk shows
Well since it did pass...........time will tell if Lindsey is all talk or not
I love the UN out the US mantra but does anyone know who has the authority to actually kick them out? How would that work?
Senator Linda and I on the same side of an issue... I must have died and went to heaven....
remember freepers:
Those who bless Israel will be blessed...Cursed will be those who curse Israel...(Gen 12:1-3)
We will have incredible blessings as a nation under Trumps leadership and the dems will continue to head in a death spiral to hell...adios dipwads^5
The funding for this needs to be reduced significantly anyway. President Trump needs to have an accounting of expenditures. . . .an audit. . .as soon as possible. And we as taxpayers need to see exactly what our hard earned money has been used for.
If I remember correctly, the US has withheld funding from the UN before (I remember reports that the US was in arrears during the Reagan years). It won’t undo the travesty of this UN resolution - unprecedented that Obama would let this pass without a US veto. Shameful.
I live in Manhattan.
Evacuate the building.
Let the demolition men do their thing and bring it the ### down.
Trump businesses could turn the building into some first class condos.
I prefer the notion of the UN disestablished. It was perverse from its beginnings when Alger Hiss made its charter into a clone of the USSR’s constitution. It’s always been an abomination and nothing else.
“He didn’t. He’s running his sump on an issue he doesn’t really in just so he can point to his words later on to deflect criticism.”
My thought is he is saying this to alert his rebel allies to tell their benefactors that if this passes, no more support against Assad. If he didn’t propose it, McCain would have.
When will we leave the UN and all its hate-America and hate-Israel cronies?
Let’s cut their funding anyway. All of it.
And expel them from the nation as well as tear down things like UNESCO signs.
Hey, I agree with Lindsey!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine that.
