ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 27: U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) speaks to reporters in the spin room following the CNN Presidential Debate between U.S. President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump at the McCamish Pavilion on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus on June 27, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) slammed the Democratic National Convention (DNC) during an interview over the week for being a cesspool of “hate” while trying to sell their presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, as being the source of “joy.”

Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper when asked about the large fundraising numbers Democrats have secured over the last several weeks.

“If you’re a Republican, you saw a hate fest. You saw a hate fest full of insults,” Graham said. “And Donald Trump said to Barack Obama, you’re a nice man after President Obama insulted and jabbed President Trump continuously. It was designed to draw him into an exchange of insults. It was light on policy, heavy on insults.”

“So I told President Trump then and now, you’re going to win this thing if you focus on policy,” he continued. “Americans are not joyful when they go to the gas station and fill up their car. They’re not joyful when they make their mortgage payment. They’re not joyful when they go to the grocery store. People are hurting.”

“And this whole joy lovefest doesn’t exist in the real world. Gas was $1.87 a gallon when President Trump left office. We had the most secure border in the last 40 years. Inflation was down, not up, and the world was not on fire,” he added. “So, 60 percent of Americans are not joyful. They believe their country is going in the wrong direction. And I think President Trump offers the best solution to change the trajectory of the country. And, finally, if you’re waiting on Kamala Harris to come up with new policies, you’re going to die of waiting, because she will continue what they have been doing for the last four years.”
