Lindsey Graham takes the fall for Trump's disastrous Woodward interviews
By Josh Israel -September 10, 2020 2:55 PM
Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the Republican South Carolina senator of secretly trying to undermine Donald Trump.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson told the nation on Wednesday who to blame for Donald Trump's admission that he deliberately downplayed the COVID-19 pandemic: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
On Wednesday, author Bob Woodward released audio recordings of Trump talking about the virus. In a February conversation, Trump admitted that the coronavirus was "more deadly than even your most strenuous flus," contradicting his public claims. In a March recording, Trump said that he "wanted to always play it down."
After the damaging recordings became public, senior Trump administration officials told The Daily Beast that Graham was one of those who encouraged Trump to talk to the legendary Watergate journalist. Graham acknowledged to the outlet that he had encouraged Trump to "tell your side of the story."
Wednesday night, Carlson used his show to lambaste Graham for Trump's comments, suggesting it was a plot by a secret Trump enemy to hurt the incumbent.
