South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday questioned fellow Republicans who take issue with former President Trump’s “rhetoric” and have decided instead to back Democratic Vice President Harris’s presidential bid.
“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 in an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” naming progressive policies the vice president once backed — including “Medicare for All” and the Green New Deal.
Graham called Harris the “border czar” and referred to the vice president’s previous statement touting that she was the last person in the room with President Biden before he decided to withdraw from Afghanistan. He also 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?”
The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign for a response.
The interview comes a few weeks before Election Day, as early voting is already underway in key states around the country.
