Senator Lindsey Graham didn’t hold back in his criticism of Donald Trump over Russia during an interview on Meet The Press Sunday.
Graham said that Trump’s plan to work with Russia on cybersecurity is “pretty close” to the “dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.”
Senator Graham also called Trump’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin “disastrous” and said that Trump has a “blind spot” when it comes to Russia.
“When it comes to Russia I am dumbfounded, I am disappointed, and at the end of the day he’s hurting his presidency by not embracing the fact that Putin is a bad guy,” Graham said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
“He is literally the only person I know of who doesn’t believe Russia attacked our election in 2016,” Graham said of Trump, who has said that “nobody really knows” whether the Russians were behind attempts to hack the 2016 presidential election.
Graham also said that by denying the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies, Trump “throws our intelligence communities under the bus.”
Graham also had harsh words for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Trump for being “ready to forgive and forget” on the 2016 election hacking.
“This whole idea about moving forward without punishing Russia is undermining his entire presidency,” he said.
“The more you do this, the more people are suspicious about you and Russia,” Graham warned Trump. “I am intent on punishing the Russians for interfering in our election.”
