Russia’s Interior Ministry on Monday issued an arrest warrant for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham following his comments related to the fighting in Ukraine.

In an edited video of his meeting on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that was released by Zelenskyy’s office, Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, noted that “the Russians are dying” and described the U.S. military assistance to the country as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”

While Graham appeared to have made the remarks in different parts of the conversation, the short video by Ukraine’s presidential office put them next to each other, causing outrage in Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented Sunday by saying that “it’s hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators.”

1. Pfffffffffffffffffft.... Lindsey Graham should be arrested,

but for other reasons than this.

I presume he was not part of the visit to Moscow on the 4th of July?

lol

9. That was my first thought, too.

God forbid any of us would ever agree with Putin - on anything. He belongs on trial in the Hague. I'm hoping that Jack Smith will focus on Putin as soon as he's done with TFG since war criminals are his specialty.

2. Wow, catch-22 for lindsay

He needs that pro Russian support. Republicans constantly supporting death, destruction and despair.

4. Maybe we can do a prison swap, say, for some drunk they arrested,

Put the bar low enough so they will take little Lindsey

[quakerboy]

5. And what actual power does this have

Does this actually prevent Lindsey from going anywhere except russia itself?

[newdayneeded]

14. It'll put Graham on double

secret probation.

6. This must've made his day

[ewcordon]

7. Why didn't I think of that?

Darn, I wasn't thinking fast enough.

8. As with everything Republican, color me suspicious this is a false or trial flag.

Maybe the GOP has suddenly become woke and realized supporting Russia is a losing policy, so they've had Lindsey plant a trial flag to gauge the base's reaction.

I've seen the GOP change it's stripes too many times to know they will do anything and everything to gain more power, including supporting our sworn enemies, and they will shift that support midstream if they perceive it helps them.

KY......

10. Well said. The Republicans have no platform.

Until now, they supported anything that TFG came up with no matter how nonsensical, ridiculous or anti-American. And we know that he's pro-Putin - so we can hope that they're finally waking up and putting some distance between themselves and TFG, though I realize that's wishful thinking - if it isn't him, it'll be someone equally unsupportable.

13. The majority of Republicans have been voting for arming Ukraine

11. Well, the law is the law. Extradite him!

Trade him for that disgraced Marine trumpanzees can’t shut up about when they cry about Brittney Griner.

[Ray Bruns]

12. If I was Joe Biden, I would extradite him immediately.

15. Call Putin's bluff. I bet he won't take Lindsey, and if he does then he won't keep him.
