In a recent interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina dismissed Liz Cheney’s concerns about the potential repercussions of reelecting Donald Trump. The conversation pivoted to Cheney’s upcoming book, “Oath and Honor,” which reportedly contains information about Republicans who supported Trump’s political rehabilitation post-January 6th. Despite Cheney’s warning that the U.S. could be “sleepwalking into a dictatorship” if Trump were to be elected again, Graham, who has already endorsed Trump for the 2024 presidential race, remained steadfast in his support for the former president.
Graham asserted his belief that a continuation of the Biden presidency would be detrimental to peace and prosperity, both domestically and internationally. He specifically pointed to concerns about a broken border, emphasizing that Donald Trump is the most capable individual to address these issues effectively.
Highlighting his perspective on Trump’s presidency, Graham claimed that during Trump’s tenure, events such as those in Ukraine and the activities of groups like Hamas and other terrorist organizations were more controlled and restrained due to fear of Trump’s leadership. While acknowledging criticism of Trump’s communication style, Graham argued that, in terms of actions and results, Trump outperformed Biden as president.
In an attempt to persuade Cheney to support Trump’s potential 2024 bid, Graham issued a warning. He stated that if the current trajectory continues, suggesting a continuation of the Biden presidency, the world will face significant challenges, figuratively stating that it would be “truly on fire” under such circumstances.
Yeah. I think a continuation of the Biden presidency would be a disaster for peace and prosperity at home and abroad. Our border is broken. The only person really going to fix a broken border is Donald Trump.
When he was president, none of this stuff was going on in Ukraine. Hamas and all of these other terrorist groups were afraid of Trump. I think Liz’s hatred of Trump is real. I understand why people don’t like what he does and says at times, but in terms of actions and results, he was far better president [than] Biden.
