Graham SLAMS DNC’s ‘Hate Fest!’

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) slammed the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in a recent interview, calling it a cesspool of “hate” while accusing the party of attempting to portray their presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, as a figure of “joy.”

Graham shared these views during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper. His comments came in response to a question about the significant fundraising amounts the Democrats have raised in recent weeks.

“If you’re a Republican, you saw a hate fest. You saw a hate fest full of insults,” Graham said. “And Donald Trump said to Barack Obama, you’re a nice man after President Obama insulted and jabbed President Trump continuously. It was designed to draw him into an exchange of insults. It was light on policy, heavy on insults. So I told President Trump then and now, you’re going to win this thing if you focus on policy. Americans are not joyful when they go to the gas station and fill up their car. They’re not joyful when they make their mortgage payment. They’re not joyful when they go to the grocery store. People are hurting.”

“And this whole joy lovefest doesn’t exist in the real world. Gas was $1.87 a gallon when President Trump left office. We had the most secure border in the last 40 years. Inflation was down, not up, and the world was not on fire,” the lawmaker added. “So, 60 percent of Americans are not joyful. They believe their country is going in the wrong direction. And I think President Trump offers the best solution to change the trajectory of the country. And, finally, if you’re waiting on Kamala Harris to come up with new policies, you’re going to die of waiting, because she will continue what they have been doing for the last four years.”
