MAGA Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) faced a bipartisan firestorm on Sunday after he gave a “psychotic” interview on Fox News.
Graham went on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream, where he was asked about President Donald Trump’s recent threat to take over Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, a major export hub for the Iranian regime. Graham told Bream that he would advise Trump to take the island and “let the [Iranian] regime die.” When Bream pressed Graham about whether the operation would involve American troops on the ground, his response enraged some political analysts and observers.
“We took Iwo Jima twice. We can take Kharg Island,” Graham said.
Graham’s comments come at a time when the war in Iran is facing significant scrutiny. Energy prices have soared since the conflict began in late February, adding to the anxieties many voters in the U.S. are feeling about the cost of living.
Analysts and observers reacted to the interview on social media.
“Lindsey didn’t take Iwo Jima. He’s sending our kids to die for oil. Period. This man is a monster,” political candidate Fred Wellman posted on X.
“We lost thousands of men in Iwo Jima. Nearly 20,000 wounded. F— this psychotic a——,” political commentator Joanne Carducci posted on X.
“No, Lindsey, ‘we’ didn’t do Iwo Jima,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) posted on X. “Almost 7,000 Americans who died and 19,000 who were wounded did Iwo Jima. And they did it to fight for our freedom—with the support of Congress and the American people.”
“We lost 7,000 Marines and 20,000 were wounded,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) posted on X.
