Add Megyn Kelly to the rising checklist of conservative voices who’re talking out in opposition to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) crude commentary on the Iran battle.
The former Fox News host took purpose at Graham on Monday, each on social media and on her SiriusXM radio present, zeroing in on the senator’s latest, eyebrow-raising threats in opposition to Lebanon, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Spain.
“When did Lindsay [sp] Graham become our president?” she wrote on X. Moments later, she shared a follow-up publish, which learn: “Let’s get real. The problem with Lindsay Graham isn’t (just) that he’s a homicidal maniac, it’s that Trump likes and is listening to him, and Trump’s favorite channel is parading him around like a Hefner bunny in stockings on every show.”
On her radio present, Kelly went a step additional, accusing Graham of undermining the security of the U.S. and “everything” President Donald Trump has executed with respect to the Operation Epic Fury battle to date.
“Those of us who have children ― especially the moms I know who have kids that are in armed forces ― don’t have the bloodlust that you have, childless weird man,” she stated. “It’s really upsetting to me that because Lindsey Graham decided in his dark corner basement that he wanted to get off again watching bombs blow up, seven service personnel are now dead.”
She went on to notice: “He has no fucking compassion for human life. All he wants to see is bombs go off.”
In latest days, Graham has divided Republicans with a sequence of incendiary remarks on the Iran battle, even suggesting that the U.S. was planning to focus on different nations.
“What’s it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who’s trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America? That’s a really good investment,” he stated in a Sunday chat with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, including: “Iran is going down, and Cuba is next.”
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday, Graham criticized Spain, which final week blocked the U.S. from utilizing its air bases amid the army operation in Iran.
“To our friends in Spain: Man, you have lost your way,” he stated. “I don’t want to do business with you anymore. I want our air bases out of Spain [and] into a country that will let us use them.”
Since then, numerous outstanding Republicans, together with former “View” co-host Meghan McCain and Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have publicly denounced Graham’s stance.
“There are some in the Senate that advocate for war everywhere,” Luna wrote on X. “Lindsey Graham is one of them. He does NOT tell the President what to do, nor does he control Congress.”
She went on to notice: “If Senator Graham wants to go fight in a foreign conflict, let him be the first to volunteer.”
