South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham stopped by Wednesday night’s Hannity to preview what House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt bill will face when it hits the Senate floor.
“This budget deal is a disaster for the United States military,” Graham tells host Sean Hannity.
“I like Kevin McCarthy, he has a hard job. But he says this bill fully funds the military. I want your audience to know tonight that this bill is $42 billion dollars short of matching inflation. This bill creates a smaller Navy at a time when the Chinese are going from 300 ships to 440. This bill puts us on track to go from 298 ships in our Navy to 291. It’s the lowest spending per GDP on defense since World War II,” Graham says.
“This bill is a disaster for America and it’s a big win for China. I’m going to be ‘hell no,'” Graham says. “I’m a Reagan Republican and Ronald Reagan would never have done this. Put our Navy in decline while China is building up?”
