LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: John Rich recently told Tomi Lahren that he hates Lindsey Graham, and called the US Senator a “warmonger.” The country music star also revealed that he confronted the 70-year-old Senator at a dinner retreat, in presence of President Donald Trump.

As per reports, Rich and Graham met during a 2022 dinner hosted by the president in Nashville as Trump wanted to discuss his presidential comeback campaign. Speaking about the meeting, the songwriter told Lahren, “Lindsey Graham is not a conservative. Oh, I can't stand him. He's a warmonger.”

John Rich calls Lindsey Graham 'one of the most disgusting people'

Calling the 70-year-old politician “one of the most disgusting people,” he stated, “He called me a conspiracy theorist in front of the President of the United States, yelling at me across the table, swishing his wine around, his third glass of Chardonnay, and Tomi, I tore his arm off and beat him in the head with it, right in front of the president.”

The said incident left Lahren excited to know more about the interaction, as she asked Rich, “What was Trump's reaction to that, by the way?”

The former ‘Lonestar’ bandmember replied, “Every time I see the president now, he goes, 'John, I've got to get another dinner scheduled and invite Lindsey, because that was one of the greatest takedowns I've ever seen.' I said, 'You know, if I'd have known you were enjoying it, I would have actually said what I was thinking.’”

Trump told Lindsay Graham that John Rich does not like him much

"He looked at Lindsey Graham, and he goes, 'Lindsey, I could be wrong, but I don't think John Rich likes you very much, right John? I could be wrong, but wow, what a takedown,'" he recalled.

Rich also added his two bits as he told the TV show host, “You can't have a fear of politicians. I'm a regular American citizen, they work for us, and you don't interrupt me when I'm talking.”

John Rich claims Lindsay Graham was disrespectful towards him

Further talking about Graham's attitude, Rich claimed that the political leader has a lot of attitude and he "shut him down." He added, "That was total disrespect, and a lot of them have that attitude. Arrogant, sit down and shut up, you stupid American citizen, we know what we're doing and you don't."

Meanwhile, reports suggest that the heated exchange between Rich and Graham happened when they discussed coronavirus vaccine. While Graham hailed the vaccines and “argued that Trump should talk about their development during his tenure every chance he got,” Rich spoke against it.
