COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -
Just hours after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made a controversial comment about 2008 presidential candidate John McCain's military record, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham came out swinging in defense of McCain. Additional Links Trump on John McCain: 'I like people who weren't captured' The Latest: Rick Santorum favors curbs on legal immigration
Trump, in a campaign visit in Iowa, told a crowd of supporters he was not a fan of McCain.
He was a war hero because he was captured, Trump said. I like people who werent captured.
In a series of tweets posted to his Twitter account, Graham said McCain "went through hell" during his service in Vietnam when he was captured by the Viet Cong and didn't deserve that type of commentary.
"If there was ever any doubt that @realDonaldTrump should not be our commander in chief, this stupid statement should end all doubt," Graham said. "If there was ever any doubt that he should not be the #GOP standard bearer, his growing mountain of stupid statements should end all doubt."

Graham, South Carolina's senior senator, is also running for president. The senator was one of McCain's staunchest supporters during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Trump announced his candidacy for president several weeks ago and has been surging in the polls recently.
Scarlet O’Graham is getting the vapors.
Really? That is low...as much as Graham is a nut, I would never say that. Got proof?
Linda got mad, huh?
Ask Graham about shutting off immigration by muslims
Please just stop. Don’t defend Graham. People falling all over themselves to defend a Judas like John McCain is sickening enough...
McCain is a self-proclaimed “progressive” - might I remind everyone the source, the origin of that appellation is with the Fabian Socialists? Marxists? Communists? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obeyme both refer to themselves as progressives.
McCain has used his cover as a “war hero” and a POW for his underhanded Senatorial dealings over the decades to enrich himself and his state and sell out US sovereignty to globalist powers.
Call it Stockholm syndrome if you really want to be kind, but I think that is another bit of slight-of-hand.
McCain has helped engineer the overthrow of the US government, the founding of the “North American Union” and the police agencies necessary to keep us all in line during the transition, like it or not.
He’s a political criminal and deserves the fate of Ceaucescu or Mussolini.
Hey Lindsey, the reason they searched so hard for your captured hero Bergdahl, is because they did not want the information he had, given to the enemy.
How did this make it past the editors?
... swinging
Ditto
Ren sticking up for Stempy. :-)
No, but he said he would give him such a pinch...
That is funny and true.
Notice Lindsey Graham did not say jack $hit when McCain attacked 15,000 Trump supporters.....
Ditto Perry, Walker and the rest of the compromised sell out Establishment Republicans.
Instead of listening to what Trump actually said...... I see the extremely desperate Lindsey Graham thinks ISIS biggest supporter in congress, John McCain, is a war hero since he collaborated with the enemy at the Hanoi Hilton.
Don’t believe me? Look at what his fellow inmates said about McCain.
Whatever the media says... Take it with a grain of salt. They love to lie, twist and misrepresent in order to get out anyone that is a threat to them.
She is so mad, she could just bite her pillow!
LOL!
McCain has been supported by Soros.
He and Kerry are birds of a feather.
Would any true hero(es) have abandoned our POWs/MIAs?
no. one cares.
july in the south .
I think Linda is having more frequent PMS. Perhaps he should rethink his run. It may be too much for his delicate disposition.
oh, Linda and his boyfriend McCain.
The alternate lifestylers before it was cool.
Birds of a feather...
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle a Dumb...
Could go on, but...
