After Meghan McCain, Megyn Kelly criticized Senator Lindsey Graham for threatening one country after another in the wake of the Middle East crisis. Kelly said Lindsey Graham is not the president but just a homicidal maniac whom Trump loves.
“Let’s be real,” Kelly said. “The problem with Lindsey Graham is not (just) that he’s a homicidal maniac, but that Trump loves him and listens to him, and Trump’s favorite channel parades him like a Hefner bunny wearing socks on every show.” Graham, 70, has appeared several times on Fox News since the war on Iran began, and in his latest warning, he threatened Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that if they did not enter the war against Iran, they would face unspecified consequences.
“I want them to participate in the fighting,” said Graham, the South Carolina senator. “We sell them weapons. Iran is striking their country, and they have good capabilities.”
Earlier, he said on Fox that when this regime in Iran falls, and the United States blows up these people, “we will have a new Middle East, and we will make a lot of money.”

“Spain, you’ve lost your way. I don’t want to deal with you anymore. I want our air bases out of Spain,” Graham threatened Spain separately.
“I will go back to South Carolina and ask them to send their sons and daughters to the Middle East,” he said.Megyn Kelly wrote: “When did Lindsey Graham become our president? In the last 24 hours he has threatened Lebanon, Cuba, the Saudis, the wider Arab region and now – scan notes – Spain.” Before Megyn Kelly, another prominent conservative voice, Meghan McCain, daughter of John McCain, has not agreed with Graham’s continued call for war.
“I have known Lindsey Graham since I was a child,” McCain said. “And I implore anyone in the Trump administration who will listen to stop sending this man as a replacement. He is scaring people and damaging any message you are trying to sell to the American public about the Iran war.”Representative Anna Pauline Luna also condemned Graham for defending the war. “There are some in the Senate who are pro-war everywhere. Lindsey Graham is one of them. He doesn’t tell the president what to do, and he doesn’t control Congress. I’ve spoken with the administration several times, as well as with other members of Congress over the last week or so, and nothing has changed in terms of boots on the ground. There are no boots on the ground.”
“If Senator Graham wants to fight in a foreign conflict, let him be the first to volunteer,” the GOP leader said.
