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.

“What is it with Trump and Miss Lindsey?”
Donald Trump has repeatedly in his political career demonstrated an ability to make terrible personnel decisions.
Lindsay Graham was 100% the lackey of John McCain. McCain despised Trump and did everything in his power to hurt Trump. McCain was a primary figure in the Russia collusion hoax. During the last weeks of his life he dramatically flew from Arizona to DC where he made a spectacle in the Senate of casting the vote preventing Obamacare from being repealed. McCain dissed the voters of Arizona and the American people to deprive Trump of a political win.
Trump should know if you sleep with dogs you have fleas. Yet he trusts Lindsay. Just as he trusted Chris Christie. Given his abysmal track record in choosing people it is difficult to see how Trump is going to staff an effective executive branch should he win a second term.
