Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went after CNN’s Jake Tapper during an interview over the weekend for criticizing former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric against Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.
Tapper specifically honed in on Trump calling Harris “mentally impaired” during a campaign rally.
“Kamala is mentally impaired. Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way,” Trump said. “If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country.”
Tapper said that Trump was “insulting” people who had mental impairments and claimed “Vice President Kamala Harris is not mentally impaired.”
Graham explained that Trump was simply calling Harris a “crazy liberal” and then proceeded to highlight numerous examples of how far-Left and disastrous she has been, including the devastation that has come from her being put in charge of the border, her refusing to show up to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in the U.S., the withdraw from Afghanistan, Medicare for All, Green New Deal, and other “crazy stuff.”
“I’m not saying she’s crazy,” Graham said. “I’m saying your party, your policies are bats*** crazy.”

“Well, they’re not my policies,” Tapper responded. “I will just say, she didn’t boycott Netan…”
“She didn’t show up,” Graham fired back.
Tapper tried to change the subject, saying: “But let’s focus on Trump’s rhetoric, because that’s what I’m actually asking you about, because…”
“The problems with the world are not Trump’s rhetoric. They call him crazy,” Graham noted. “Pelosi wanted to invoke the 25th Amendment. Why don’t you ever talk about that?”
Tapper completely ignored Graham calling him out over his pro-Democrat/anti-Republican bias and moved on.
