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.

Graham having a hissy fit over a question involving the squad, seriously the question wasn’t even for him it was for the Dem senators who were also in Israel why Graham had to butt in with his two cents I guess he just likes the attention..oh and bombing Iran, that is his next passion
It’s always rigged so Lindsey wins the Primary a half-dozen people just happen to line up.
To take this guy out requires an all-out strategy with an independent to run if the Primary doesn’t dispatch Lindsey.
President Trump of course needs to de-endorse Graham and endorse a replacement that would certainly be helpful but Trump ends up kissing RINO butt in this man’s case.
Too late, Linseed
“Raw emotions”.
Linda sounds like the woman she is.
Emotional Linda Graham.
What an @$$h0le. Good for Cohen, refusing to be silenced or intimidated by that jerk.
What is it with Trump and Miss Lindsey?
They misspelled his name. Lindsey's buddy is Jean-Jacques Gasquet.
He and Sheila Jackson Lee should have a spitting contest.
“wretched hive of scum and villainy” comes to mind...
Unfortunately, our leaders lacks moral clarity.
Well put.
I think very few that stay in Congress are not for sale.
Term limits!
It was disgusting. It will make a great campaign ad…..for his primary opponent
But go after a Dem..and stop burning down our own house.
Very accurate description.
I’m past “don’t respect” and well into “I hate these guys”
Miss Lindsey is such a delicate doily.
Not a dimes worth of difference in any of those worthless idiots!
Yup
