President Trump absolutely annihilated Sen. Lindsey Graham in a series of posts he made on Truth Social earlier today.
It all started when Graham criticized Trump’s abortion stance.
This morning, President Trump said that abortion is an issue that should be left to the states, and Sen. Graham was among many Republicans to condemn Trump’s statement on abortion.
NBC News reported on this:
Sen. Lindsey Graham sparred with Donald Trump on Monday after the former president attacked the South Carolina Republican for pushing his bill to outlaw abortion across the U.S. after 15 weeks of pregnancy. While Trump said the issue should be left to states, Graham vowed to keep pressing for federal limits.
“I think we should draw a line,” Graham told reporters. “We know that the Dobbs decision did not say that there’s no federal role. There are three laws on the books at the federal level. So the idea that Dobbs prevents the federal government from acting, I think, is an error. The idea of the Republican Party abandoning the opposition to late-term abortion, I think, would be a mistake, because most Americans oppose late-term abortion.”
“For the pro-life movement, it’s about the child, not geography. So if you turning the pro-life movement into a geographical movement, I think you’re making a mistake,” he added. “A child at 15 weeks sucks his thumb, feels pain in California and New York as much as South Carolina.”
Graham’s comments came after Trump released a video statement earlier Monday boasting about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade while also saying the issue should be left to states. It was a reversal after Trump had previously endorsed federal restrictions, and the blowback that came immediately from abortion foes indicated how divided the GOP is on how to manage the thorny politics of the issue. Trump, notably, didn’t rule out signing federal limits if Congress were to pass them.

HuffPost commented on Trump’s obliteration of Lindsey Graham:
Donald Trump attacked one of his top allies on Capitol Hill, Sen. Lindsey Graham, on Monday after the South Carolina Republican and other conservatives criticized Trump’s comments on abortion earlier in the day, in which he declined to take a position on federal legislation limiting the procedure.
ADVERTISEMENT“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country,” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on his social media website, Truth Social.
The former president went on to say that Graham “doesn’t seem to understand” that Democrats “love this issue, and they want to keep it going for as long as Republicans will allow them to do so.”
“Many Good Republicans lost Elections because of this Issue, and people like Lindsey Graham, that are unrelenting, are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency,” he added.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee then urged Graham to “spend more time focusing” on the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border “and the millions of people dying in senseless, never-ending Wars he constantly favors and promotes.”
