Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday declared that Donald Trump wasn’t responsible for teeing up a regime change for Iran in the wake of his deadly strikes on the country which killed its supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Graham reacted to a social media post from the president where he wrote that “hopefully” Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), along with its military and police forces, would work together to “bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves.”

“Is hope the plan for the future of Iran?” asked host Kristen Welker.

Graham, a longtime Trump ally and foreign policy hawk, distanced the president from the potential fallout of his own attack, instead framing the joint military offensive with Israel as a way to weaken what he called the “mothership of terrorism.” “The new Iran, whatever it is, whether it’s a cleric, or a representative democracy, our goal is to make sure it cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism,” Graham said. “That’s a win for us. That’s a win for the region.”

Welker interjected, “But is there a plan to make sure that happens, senator? Is there a plan, does the president have a plan to guarantee that that happens?” An irritated Graham replied, “No! It’s not his job or my job to do this! How many times do I have to tell you?”

1. Trump ally used his "Meet the Press" appearance to distance the self-proclaimed "peace president"

When the body count from this war of choice reaches 13, will MAGA stop criticizing Biden? Casualties should always be expected in a war zone, right? Biden was trying to disengage, not invade. All deaths are tragic.

2. If it's not the job of the POS, excuse me, POTUS, who the fuck's job is it?

I hate Graham and I sincerely hope his ass will be voted out of office.

But I don't hold my breath. So many in SC would vote for Ted Bundy if he had an R after his name.
