Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has publicly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’s immigration and healthcare policies, labeling them as “bats*** crazy.” His comments come in defense of former President Donald Trump, who made controversial remarks about Harris during a rally, claiming she is “mentally disabled.” Graham emphasized that while he does not personally believe Harris has a mental disability, her policy positions, particularly on issues like Medicare for All and immigration, are extreme and harmful.
Graham’s critique highlights a broader Republican strategy to challenge the Biden-Harris administration by focusing on policy rather than personal attacks. He pointed to specific policies such as the Green New Deal and the handling of illegal immigration, arguing that these approaches have led to negative consequences for Americans. On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Graham stated, “People have been hurt by illegal immigrants released in this country without detention. It is a nightmare, it is crazy.” His remarks reflect a growing Republican narrative that seeks to frame Democratic policies as not only ineffective but dangerously radical. Additionally, Graham expressed a desire for Trump to engage in further debates with Harris to clarify these differences and to hold her accountable for her time in office.
