Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) stalwart loyalty to President Donald Trump is starting to see more cracks as Trump doubles down on his decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria.
Graham, who’s been railing against the decision for more than a week, appeared on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) on Wednesday morning to blast the consequences of the U.S. leaving the Kurds to deal with Turkey and ISIS detainees in Syria on their own.
“I am looking to President Trump to change this,” the Republican senator told CBN host Pat Robertson. “I will do anything I can to help him, but I will also become President Trump’s worst nightmare.”
“I will not settle on the sidelines and watch a good ally, the Kurds, be slaughtered by Turkey and watch Iran move into Syria and become another nightmare for Israel,” Graham continued.

If any of the dinks had a shred of courage they would present a Declaration of War to a vote
The only people afraid of Graham is the DNC.
They are afraid they are going to loose another spy
Is Romney Graham’s new daddy?
Grahamnesty is already the worst nightmare for Trump Republicans.
He is still committed to open borders/amnesty and completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) while pretending to be on our side.
I read a post somewhere on FR that after meeting with the President last night, Graham, on one of the Sunday morning shows, is now in support of the President.
I know I’m being silly, but why hasn’t the UN stepped in between these two warring parties?
I heard part of that interview and what I heard, Graham is in full support of Trump.
He did a complete 180 on Maria Batriomo’s show today.
Linda wants to be re-elected and will need President Trumps support.
Maybe somebody can explain the Republican reaction to this, but one thing is clear, somehow in someway, Trump has pissed in their corrupt cornflakes.
The last time Congress declared war was in 1942, against, I believe, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. We have enjoyed well over 70 years of peace since then. That must be some sort of record.
It’s good.
The Republican senators had better get united in their support of the President. We’re going to see a showdown and our side had better come out on top.
+10.
Graham has been Trump’s “ally” whenever Trump does things HIS way.
When that upstart president gets a mind of his own, well, then, by god, who does he think HE is?
Unreal. Trump knows Americans want out of these s**tholes. Graham ‘feuding’ with him will only diminish Graham’s credibility.
“We have enjoyed well over 70 years of peace since then. That must be some sort of record”.
You’re kidding or forgot to put the “S” for sarcasm at the end of your post.
LOL!
> We have enjoyed well over 70 years of peace since then. That must be some sort of record. <
I hope you meant to say that we have suffered through over 70 years of undeclared wars since then.
