Sen. Lindsey Graham has questions for GOP members supporting Harris: 'What the hell are you doing?'

“What are you doing? You’re trying to convince me that Donald Trump’s rhetoric is the danger to this country? The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris," Graham said Sunday on "Meet the Press."

Sen. Lindsey Graham had a question and a message for the Republicans who have decided to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for president. 

“To every Republican supporting her, what the hell are you doing? You’re supporting the most radical nominee in the history of American politics,” Graham said during an interview on Sunday on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”

Graham cited progressive policies that Harris has backed including “Medicare for All” and the Green New Deal, according to The Hill

Graham also pointed out that Harris had been the “border czar” during an unprecedented period of illegal migration into the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration. He cited her statement that she had been the last person in the room before President Biden decided to withdraw from Afghanistan. And he noted she cast the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act.

“What are you doing? You’re trying to convince me that Donald Trump’s rhetoric is the danger to this country? The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris. Her fingerprints are all over this disaster. And I can’t take four more years of this crap.”

“When you support her, you’re supporting four more years of garbage policy,” he said. “So what the hell are you doing as a Republican, blessing this stuff?”

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked Sen. Graham about Retired Gen. Mark Milley, Trump’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Bob Woodward, in his latest book says that Milley told him that he believes Trump is “fascist to the core.” 

“To General Milley, you have a right to your opinion, but I don’t fear Donald Trump,” Graham said in the interview. “I fear what’s going on in the world today. If you want the world to stay on fire, vote for her.”
