Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., went into meltdown mode with Newsmax's Israel correspondent, Daniel Cohen, during a Sunday press conference in Tel Aviv.
At the conference Cohen asked the senators why there was not a stronger condemnation, especially of those on the left like Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who have failed to condemn Hamas' attacks.
Cohen told the senators that Tlaib's "tweet is still up condemning Israel for a hospital attack we know was a lie."
At that point, Graham, who held the podium with nine U.S. senators standing behind him, blew his gasket.
"We are here together, not to talk about the problems at home, which are many," an angry Graham said, pointing his finger at Cohen.
"I've got my own view of what to say — you're not going to screw this up," Graham continued.
When Cohen interjected he was asking a "fair question," Graham again raised his voice.
"You're not going to screw this up," he said.
The senator then pointed to security and yelled for them to remove Cohen.
"Get this guy out of here!" Graham said.
The Israeli security ignored Graham's request.
A flustered Graham then explained himself, "I am an American, I believe in free speech" — ironically just a moment after ordering Cohen be ejected from the press conference.
Graham then said he didn't agree with the Squad's views.

"Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that," Tlaib posted on X, citing Hamas' side of the story.

"I live here. I'm an Israeli. I want an answer to the question," Cohen, a U.S. and Israeli citizen, said.

Linda had a hissy fit?
So what is Graham‘s problem?
That time of the month.
Betcha that Linda was nervous that his own sorry @$$ was gonna be up in smoke if he didn’t take the Hamas line.
It’s so cute when she acts tough.
Linda Goober Graham...

Graham is a drama queen. Couldn’t resist a self-righteous tantrum to show how pure he really is in his innermost thoughts.
He could have glossed over it if he really wanted to in about five words, but that would not have drawn attention to himself.
Can’t have anyone criticizing his good friends.
Graham is a strange person.
What a crowd of scumbags.
Lindsey Graham the best Senator money is buying.
It’s way past time for him and his fellow Demonrats to go!! Is anyone thinking of running against him in the primary?
Each of the elected American scumbags trying to outdo each other..............
to see who could be more obeisant to a foreign country.
This story reminds me there should be no such thing as dual citizenship. Split loyalties, no thanks. You cant split loyalty 50/50.
No one should interrupt Field Marshal Graham when he’s on a roll.
The founders established the NBC rule for a reason. Too bad it’s ignored.
<< “Get this guy out of here!” Graham said. The Israeli security ignored Graham’s request. >>
Poor Lindsey. Disrespected both at home and abroad. And for good reason.
