Lindsey Graham Defends Trump Amid GOP Divisions

Senator Lindsey Graham defended Donald Trump against accusations of fascism while expressing frustration at fellow Republicans who have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling their support as a betrayal of core party values. Graham dismissed the term 'fascist' as dangerous rhetoric, particularly when used by former generals who once served under Trump, and criticized the Democratic shift from a 'joy' campaign to alarming comparisons of Trump to Hitler. Chris Christie called out Graham's hypocrisy, highlighting his past criticisms of Trump on January 6 while now defending him. Meanwhile, former Rep. Tom Rice, who voted to impeach Trump, stated he would not support either Trump or Harris, condemning Trump's disregard for the Constitution. As the 2024 election nears, internal GOP conflicts intensify, with figures like Cheney and Kinzinger endorsing Harris due to concerns over Trump's divisive leadership. Graham insists that Trump's past policies should overshadow his controversial rhetoric, as the party grapples with its identity and direction.
