Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) lost control yesterday (see minutes 41:42-43:27), when the Oct. 17 deadly bombing of the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza was mentioned. The occasion was a news conference of ten U.S. Senators in Jerusalem. After Newsmax’s Jerusalem correspondent Daniel Cohen gushed over his appreciation for the American support and the delegation’s visit, he asked whether any of the Democrats on the 10-member delegation in Jerusalem wanted to respond to the tweet of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), blaming Israel for the hospital bombing.
Even though it was obvious that he wanted Democrats to go on record saying that Israel was not at fault, Graham was off and running. He jumped in with, “Stop, no.” And when Cohen didn’t immediately understand the problem, Graham, in a loud voice, commanded: “Stop!”
Cohen then protested, saying that it was a “fair question” and he wanted an answer; but Graham vented: “We are here together not to talk about the problems at home, which are many. I’ve got my own view of what she said. You’re not going to screw this up.”
