“If you used a but-for cause, would we be doing this if Israel were not involved? The answer is no, we wouldn’t. We’ve heard that from Marco Rubio. Now we hear that from Lindsey Graham directly.

“Israel was the one pushing for this war. And Lindsey Graham helped, and so did some Fox News contributors, and so did many others who were Israel firsters like Mark Levin.”

“Now he wants us to get involved in a Lebanese war, which Israel’s already starting or involved in, and he wants us to go into Cuba, from the sound of it, possibly. Is that a boots on the ground situation? I don’t know.

“But this guy should be nowhere near President Trump. He should not be allowed within 20 feet of the president’s orbit, and the president should make the decision to keep this guy the hell away from him or, at least in his own mind, shut down his influence. This is not a force for good in the United States of America, Lindsey Graham.”
