Death Match 2015: Graham on Trump: ‘I’ll beat his brains out’ in South Carolina
CNN has an interesting interview of Senator Lindsey Graham‘s and his latest attacks on the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. According to Graham, Donald Trump is a “complete idiot” and if the two face off in the Republican primary in Graham’s home state of South Carolina, “I’ll beat his brains out.”
Graham chalked Trump’s lead in the polls up to a “dark side of politics that Mr. Trump is appealing to.” He said Trump is channeling the same Republican primary voters who believe President Barack Obama is a Muslim and was born in Kenya.
“Come to South Carolina and I’ll beat his brains out,” Graham said. “I know my state. This is a silly season in politics.”
Graham launched the harshest attack yet of any of Trump’s Republican opponents, calling him a “showman” whose “policy positions are complete gibberish.” “He is shallow, he is ill-prepared to be commander-in-chief, he doesn’t know what he is talking about in terms of how our laws work, he says the worst things possible about immigrants and women, and he’s a complete idiot when it comes to Mideast policy,” Graham said. “So I think over time, common sense will prevail.”
