Lindsey Graham Defends Trump, Says Ocasio-Cortez Is Communist

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham defended President Donald Trump and his attacks on the progressive Congresswomen he attacked this weekend.

Graham appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Monday and  referred to the Congresswomen as “communists.”

“Mr. President, you’re gonna win, just knock it down a notch,” he said as he advised the president to keep from using personal attacks.

“They wanted to impeach President Trump on DAY ONE. Make them the face of the future of the Democrat Party, you will destroy the Democrat Party. Their policies will destroy our Country!”
