Graham: 'I've got a real problem' with arms sales to Saudi Arabia


Graham: 'I've got a real problem' with arms sales to Saudi Arabia
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 05/26/19 10:14 AM EDT


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday criticized the Trump administration pushing through arms sales to Saudi Arabia, citing the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"I’ve got a real problem with going back to doing business as usual with Saudi Arabia," Graham said on "Fox News Sunday."

"Jordan is a great ally. The [United Arab Emirates] has been problematic in Yemen but are a good ally. Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally, but [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman] was, in my opinion, involved in the murder of Mr. Khashoggi, and he’s done a lot of other disruptive things, so I don’t support the arms sales now," he continued.

With you and McTurtle and the rest of the Republican senate allowing shithole to do whatever he wants, just shut the fuck up.

With things heating up over Iran and Trump cozying up to N Korea and Saudi Arabia, maybe Republicans can get on board with impeachment if these escalate to their inevitably disastrous conclusions.

You're wandering from your loyalty pledge. Trumpy has to reel you in. Maybe you forgot about the photos he showed you. He has more. You'll be delighted.

this is the Onion?

The Senator from S.C. is past his sell by date. He wants to sell Republican clabbered milk as a defense for dereliction of duty? Shame on you Lindsey.
