South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham thinks his party has gone "bats---" crazy, and joked Thursday that it's possible to get away with murdering Ted Cruz if it happened in the Senate.
"If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you," the former presidential candidate said at the Washington Press Club Foundation's 72nd Congressional Dinner, referencing the Texas senator's unpopular reputation on Capitol Hill.
CNN has reached out to Cruz's presidential campaign for comment.
While Graham teased Democrats and other politicians in the room -- at one point turning to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and asking her not leave to leave for the sake of his own party -- he focused his roast on the 2016 election and the GOP field, in which he formerly participated.
"The most dishonest person in America is a woman who is about to be president, that can get me. My party's gone bats--- crazy," the Palmetto State Republican told the crowd....

Well glad you don’t agree. It was a terrible thing to say that I do what the media says. You don’t even know me.
I was referring to you saying, ‘The Ted Cruz since Iowa.’
It's more a matter of his not having good ghost writers.
The idea is "Ted Cruz is so unpopular in the Senate that ____________."
Lindsey needs somebody to fill in the blank with a good punchline.
Try using that excuse after you’ve threatened the current president.
“We are not amused”- Queen Victoria.
I haven’t respected the loud mouth 4th grade class clown Trump for about 40 years.
Add to that the New York Times writer that called for the assassination of Trump yesterday.
Are these people trying to gin up some kind of evil momentum to carry out their evil wishes?
Was Lindsay in the Senate Chamber?
If not, too bad - every word is recorded there; threatening a Senator is a serious issue.
I don’t think Lindsay has ever recovered from McCain’s defeat for the 2000 nomination.
Lindsay was all set to be selected to run with McCain.
He’s never gotten over it.
Cruz was just a convenient scapegoat.
The way to do Linda in is to put an exploding vibrator in his sock drawer.
Oh geeeeeee, I’m so sorry Ted WON Iowa .. how dreadful.
And that is your right. Which doesn’t change the crappy comment of Graham nor my disappointment in the person I contributed to when he ran for the senate from Texas.
Are we talking about “Mr. Stab you in the back Rubio” .. good grief; why would anybody choose him?
Childish comment from you. He is a disappointment regardless of what he won.
Only to you is he a disappointment, and if you are personally disappointed, I’m sorry for you that you cannot see the pure conservative that we NEED to govern the USA.
If you’re a Trump supporter; then just say so, and stop slamming Cruz.
And it was “childish” for a reason - to show you how childish your comment was.

Well now we know you like Chihuahuas.....
clearly of unsound mind.
I like dogs, but chihuahuas are not my cup of tea. But I really don’t like socialist phonies, and effeminate Reality-TV stars.
You just like effeminate, career politician, Amnesty PAC paid puppets. Got it.

Oh ok I understand why you are childish...okay. At least you aren’t calling Cruz who lies a great Christian when he is just a man like all others. TPA, Coker, lobbyists, sucking up to amnesty Rubio— a real conservative when it benefits.
