Sen. Lindsey Graham fought back against Donald Trump Sunday after a week of trading barbs in the press.
"I would ask the Republican Party to understand why most major companies are firing Mr. Trump, and I don't think we should hire him," the South Carolina Republican said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
"I'm taking on an idea that I think he's appealing to the dark side of American politics," Graham said. "He is not offering solutions to hard, complicated problems, and he's basically selling fear and prejudice."
Trump, who is also attempting to get the Republican presidential nod, escalated a feud with the senator when he gave out Graham's personal cell phone number during a speech.
Graham responded by shooting a video with IJ Review in which he employed various creative methods of destroying his cell phone.
"Donald Trump has done something my staff could never get me to do, which is get a new phone," Graham joked Sunday.
But he condemned Trump's often caustic campaign style.
"If you say most illegal immigrants are drug dealers and rapists, there are people that want to believe that," Graham said. "There's a market in my party, if you say outrageous things."
Well, some surely are, but also about half of them are on welfare or food stamps. Most of the other half have stolen IDs so they can work jobs on the cheap and not pay taxes, or are members of deadly criminal gangs, or squirting out anchor babies so they can bring more of their deadbeat criminal relatives here to further milk the American taxpayers left who still have honest jobs. Oh, and they get to vote Democrat, cover everything with graffiti, and trash our national forests and parklands with garbage and drug grows. That's also important.
What is there not to like about these criminal invaders?
I think he’s down to minus 5 in the polls...
The village (Senate) idiot has spoken.
[”I’m taking on an idea that I think he’s appealing to the dark side of American politics,”]
Said the (man) who can always be found in the dark side of any bathhouse in Washington.
Graham is dissing voters. He is a loser.
The bosses, of course, cannot do the attacking themselves, as Trump will unload on them and that can hurt bad. But Trump unloading on gram, keeps the firing off to the side.
Sen. Lindsey Gram is a lightweight
Well Graham you sold you soul so you have no room to speak.......
No, Lady Lindsey is a PU#SY!
I don’t recall Lindsey speaking out about Hussein’s comments.
Funny, I don’t recall Linda saying a word when the kenyan said the GOP was going to “make him choose between sick kids and poor kids” during a shut down fight.
At this rate Graham will get 1% in his home state primary. What a despicable piece of stuff he is.
shut up Linda!
Who is this Linda Graham, anyway, and why should I listen to her?
Dark side that is shedding light on cockroaches like Graham.
