Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on this weekend’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
The discussion focused on President Trump’s order of a drone strike that killed Iran military leader Qasem Soleimani.
This led to people who criticized President Trump and the action he took in killing Soleimani.
One of those people was Colin Kaepernick who tweeted “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against black and brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.”
Senator Lindsey Graham responded to the tweet by Kaepernick.
Graham said, “Yeah, he’s a loser on and off the field.
He has no idea what the Iranian regime has done to the region.
He has no idea that they have 600 American deaths as a result of IEDs made in Iran and used in Iraq.”
He added, “It’s un-American.
He’s a racist.
If you’re looking for racism in America, Mr. Kaepernick, look in the mirror.
Your country is not the problem!
It’s the Iranians, and you’re so blinded by your hatred of Trump that you can’t see the difference between who we are and who the Ayatollah is.
Pretty sad.”
