(CNS News) -- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he supported House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) trip to Taiwan and stressed that the trip was “necessary” to “reinforce a relationship between us and Taiwan” and tell China “we’re not going to be bullied.”

At the U.S. Capitol on Aug. 2, CNS News asked Sen. Graham, “Should Speaker Pelosi have gone to Taiwan?”

“Yeah, I think so,” said Graham. “I really appreciate what she did. I’m glad she went. If she’d backed off, it’d have been a disaster. Her visit was necessary, it reinforces a relationship between us and Taiwan.”

A Democrat would never say this about a Republican.

It’s this insanity that will throw a monkeypox wrench 🔧 into the midterms. Stick to inflation, crime, and border security

Other than putting Taiwan in harm's way, what the hell did Pelosi accomplish in her quest to get a photo op?

Graham and his fellow neocons need to be cleansed from the party.

This can be seen both ways and events in Ukraine have a lot to do with it. This could blow up in our faces but when you got people in charge that don’t know what they’re doing it just might put more fear in our enemies. They’re finding out the Russians are not 10 feet tall and Chinese wheels go flat. The Pat Buchanans amongst us will disagree but his opinions don’t cost him.

Tell us why Linda. Why did the Speaker of the House have to go to Taiwan? Graham is kissing more RATS ass than Cheney is.

Sen. Graham is correct as the Constitution specifically states that the Speaker of the House is supposed to conduct foreign policy.

Oh, wait. It doesn’t say that st all.

Graham can always be counted on to pat a Democrat on the back. He’s one of them.

Just a friendly reminder: Pat would have built a wall, taken us out of the Free Trade mess for n 1992, and never went to Iraq.

I’ve not heard a reporter ask or state what the purpose of the visit was... Or why it couldn’t happen with a zoom call.
