Replying to @AaronBlake
Graham, who just launched a Burisma probe and says it's all "very suspicious" keeps calling Burisma "Bur-MEE-suh."

Kilmeade plays 2015 clip of Lindsey Graham getting tearful about Joe Biden and saying hes "the nicest person I think I've ever met in politics."

Graham responds that Biden said bad things about his friend McCain in 2008. "They tore the bark off of John McCain."

Turning over the Steele dossier to the F.B.I. was “not the nicest thing to do,” Trump said, especially because McCain hadn’t even called him first. Giving the “thumbs-down” to the Republican health-care plan, he suggested, poured salt in the wound ...

That it is all political.

Nice between cycles but nasty when they are a potential foe. Justified by the supposed treatment of a republican during an election cycle.
