Lindsey Graham’s Body Language Over Offensive Donald Trump Remark Says It All
HuffPost
The fierce Donald Trump loyalist was asked about the former president's rhetoric.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday made light of former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump’s offensive claim that his Democratic rival in the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris, is “mentally disabled.”
Trump at a rally this weekend falsely claimed “Kamala is mentally impaired,” that President Joe Biden “became mentally impaired, Kamala was born that way” and that “if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper quizzed Graham over the moment, telling the Trump loyalist: “So, first of all, there are actual people out there with mental impairments, and that’s insulting to them. Second of all, Vice President Kamala Harris is not mentally impaired.”
“No,” agreed Graham, adding: “I just think she’s crazy liberal.”
Tapper asked Graham about Trump’s rhetoric.
