Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tore into the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) legacy on Monday, saying that while he “was funny, fun-loving” he was also a “murderer” who demanded war.
“I disagreed wholeheartedly with many of his policies,” Greene said on progressive news show The Young Turks. “He was a neocon warmonger. He was a murderer. He wanted to wipe out and kill many innocent people in Iran, in Gaza, in Lebanon. He supported war more than anything.”
She told host Cenk Uygur that Graham, who died Saturday at the age of 71, “never wanted peace” and “the only time he may have been interested in peace was because this war is hurting the midterms” for President Donald Trump and the Republicans.
Greene called Graham a “dedicated Zionist,” and bashed his foreign policy positions, claiming that he worked “diligently” to “send as much money as possible, weapons as possible for Israel.”
She expressed her agreement with some voices on the left who have criticized Graham in the wake of his death, including Uygur’s cohost Ana Kasparian, who simply wrote on X, “Good riddance.”
