GRAHAM ON HANNITY: For a Socialist like AOC, Trump’s State of the Union Was ‘The Speech from Hell’
Senator Lindsey Graham spoke with Sean Hannity just minutes after President Trump wrapped his annual State of the Union address; calling Trump’s remarks the “speech from hell” for socialists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“We are watching something historic unfold. That’s our country succeeding. That’s one America, then there’s the other side,” said Hannity.
“Every American is doing well economically, our military is strong, terrorists are dead. President Trump is well on his way to getting re-elected, and AOC is probably glad she didn’t come, because if you’re a committed socialist, this speech is the speech from hell,” said Graham.
“To Speaker Pelosi: You can tear up the speech, but you can’t tear up the accomplishments, and that’s what this race is going to be about in 2020,” he added.
