'Stop drunk tweeting': Lindsey Graham trolled for saying Trump will beat Joe Biden 'like a drum' in November polls

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA: South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham appeared in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity recently where he espoused why he believes former President Donald Trump is the best GOP candidate to defeat the incumbent President Joe Biden in the 2024 US general elections.

Senator Graham and Hannity discussed the issue of illegal immigrants ahead of the South Carolina GOP primary and both Trump and Haley’s chances going into the next primary election in their bid to secure the GOP presidential nomination.

However, more importantly, Graham issued a stark warning to President Biden cautioning him of the impending defeat he might have to face in his home state to Donald Trump arguing that the former President is being looked at by South Carolinians as “the best Republican president since Ronald Reagan.”

What did Lindsey Graham say in his interview with Sean Hannity?

Hannity began the interview with the 68-year-old South Carolina Senator by asking him, “So you got 10 million or so unvetted Joe Biden, illegal immigrants. We're paying for food, water, housing, education, health care. Cities are overwhelmed. Even democratic mayors and governors have had it. And yet they've been telling us the whole time that the border is secure and closed. It's not.”

The Fox News host continues, “And look at the impact. I mean, what is the end game here? Why do they have no interest? Do they not get alarm bells in their mind when you hear people from Iran and Syria and Egypt and Afghanistan and Russia and China are there? Because that's where they're coming from.”

Senator Graham replied, “Yeah, well, fentanyl poisoning of our young people is the leading cause of death among Americans from 18 to 35. It's coming across the Mexican border. It's made in China, comes to Mexico, comes across the border. The drug cartels, human traffickers, have been the biggest beneficiary of the Biden presidency.”

He explained his case for Trump winning in his home state by saying “Why is President Trump leading in South Carolina by 30 points? The people of South Carolina believe that Donald Trump was the best Republican president since Ronald Reagan. People in South Carolina do not believe that Trump creates chaos. They believe that Donald Trump can clean up the chaos being created by Biden, that Donald Trump is our best hope to secure the border, to make us energy independent, to manage the economy, and to put out all the fires in the world.”

 

“Nikki Haley is a good person. Tim Scott is one of my best friends. I endorsed Donald Trump on Day One because I saw from a front-row position of four years of the toughest guy I've ever seen in Washington, who brought the world to a better place on national security than anybody since Reagan, who made us strong at home and strong overseas. Donald Trump's going to win South Carolina big. Not because we don't like Nikki Haley. We do. We just believe Donald Trump is the best person to be president. And without Donald Trump, there are no Trump policies.”

Hannity then asked Graham why South Carolina native Nikki Haley is losing to Trump going by the polling averages to which the Senator responded, “Why is she losing to President Trump? It's no fault of her. It's the assets and attributes of President Trump.”

He argued, “I can't express enough to the people watching your show that those of us in South Carolina who respect Nikki Haley believe that Donald Trump is the most capable person to be president that can beat Joe Biden, but not just beat Joe Biden. Clean up a broken border, scare the hell out of the terrorist, help Israel, who's under siege, make us energy independent again. Why do I say that? Because he did it before. Nobody running on the Republican side can say they've been president except him, Donald Trump.”

“And when you compare his presidency to that of Joe Biden, he's going to beat Joe Biden like a drum,” he remarked, adding. “That's why he's going to win South Carolina. That's why he's going to be the next president of the United States. He's the best person to do the job and to clean up the mess created by Joe Biden.”
