Lindsey Graham shocks CNN host with response: 'That's a bunch of bulls***'
On CNN’s State of the Union With Jake Tapper on Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham dismissed a question by guest host Dana Bash with some questionable language. The two were discussing the possibility of ISIS reconstituting itself if the U.S. pulls out of Syria, as President Trump has said we will do. Graham, who has openly disagreed with that decision, blamed former President Obama for ISIS’s existence in the first place. Bash jumped in to say Obama had withdrawn from Iraq because of a status of forces agreement, and Graham interjected, “No, that’s a bunch of bulls***. Pardon my French, that’s a complete lie … a complete, absolute lie.” Bash was taken aback by the language but moved on.
This isn’t the first time Graham has used profanity on CNN. In June, while defending his relationship with Trump, the South Carolina Republican said, “If you don’t like me working with the president to make the world a better place, I don’t give a s***.”
Neither instance was bleeped out.
State of the Union With Jake Tapper airs Sundays at 9 a.m. on CNN.
