Fox News host Jesse Watters confronted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on air over the timing of his bill to ban abortion nationwide after 15 weeks.
In the tense exchange, during which the senator raised his voice as he defended his actions, Watters pressed Graham to respond to Republicans who are "angry" at him for giving Democrats an "out" when they were faced with bad inflation numbers.
The senator said he has no apology, arguing he refuses to sit idly by while, in his view, the United States takes a stance on abortion as extreme as that in China and North Korea.
"No one is saying you need to sit on the sidelines, but yesterday wasn’t the day to do that. Yesterday was the day they lost all momentum when this inflation thing punched them right in the face, and you gave them an out," Watters shot back.
"A lot of people don’t like that," he added. "You could have done it on any other day, just like you could have delayed the whole press conference — like Joe should have delayed that stupid party." Watters was referring to an event President Joe Biden held on the White House South Lawn on Tuesday to celebrate the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
On Tuesday, Graham unveiled the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act, which would enact a sweeping ban on abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of gestation, with exceptions for instances of rape, incest, and safeguarding the life of the mother.

Here is a question I have, based on my arguements with liberals.
If every state has an abortion law and provision, howwever strict or lax that law may be, can the federal government regulate it through the Commerce Clause to ensure an identical level of service across the country.
Yes, abortion is not the proviso of the federal government. However, if every state has abortion, can the federal government regulate the standards?
Graham is helping biden.
Linda is azz ho...
Nailed it!
I’ve never heard Graham speak about abortion before. He is a lying jackass.
He is undermining the GOP in the midterms, specifically MAGA candidates and that’s not something new for him.
They must have him on video bopping McCain or something. This was way too obvious, add to the list of other way too obvious things LG does to thwart the republicans
Linda’s smarminess was particularly visible during that interview. He clearly IS PLAYING FOR THE OTHER TEAM and carrying out orders (from the DNC/UNIPARTY’s Politburo) to try to generate DISTRACTIONS from inflation and the economy.
DON’T FALL FOR IT MY FELLOW PRO-LIFERS. Things can wait until after the November elections.
McLame must have been the brains of this Dirty Duo keeping Linseed from showing his azz in the past.
What part of “not a feral matter” does Linseed not understand??
Lindsey need to be kicked in the C***.
Waiting until we have majorities in the House and Senate would be the smart thing to do.
Linseed is not so dumb that he doesn’t know that.
Yes. Democrats can claim that if Republicans win, they will make all abortion illegal immediately. It's not true, and Graham knows it's not true, yet he provides support for Democrats who will make that claim.
What a backstabber.
Graham does NOT WANT these new MAGA senators coming to town, SCREW HIM Trump needs to stay away from Graham he is NOT Trumps friend he is a backstabbing bitch!! Graham is a full on NEO CON never saw a war he didn’t like and Trump will dry up Grahams wartime gravy train!!
He’s just ‘John McCain’ that secretly dresses like a woman.

Thanks Linda! You POS..now he’s a pro-life warrior? Since when?
How does SC keep voting for this guy??
He’s always been an assistant RAT
Watched Graham lying through his teeth!
He makes me sick.
It is kinda funny, that Lindsey even cares about abortion in any way....
Given that none of his sex-partners ever had any possibility of getting pregnant.
