Senator Lindsey Graham labeled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her “squad” of progressive democrats as a “bunch of communists” Monday; saying the lawmakers are “anti-Semitic” and “anti-America.”
“We all know that AOC and this crowd are a bunch of communists,” Graham told Fox and Friends.

Ilhan Omar continued to focus on the “liberation of Palestine” over the weekend; telling a group of supporters in Philadelphia that the US needs to celebrate “non-violent” resistance against Israel.

“In the situation of Palestine, what we are doing right now is having hypocrisy in not celebrating non-violent movements there and condemning it,” said Rep. Omar.
“That’s what we’re dealing with in the Halls of Congress. That is in the media, in regards to people who are not-violently wanting to resist and fight for the liberation of the Palestinian people. That hypocrisy needs to end,” she added.
Ilhan Omar made national headlines earlier this year for a series of anti-Israeli controversies; accusing American politicians of holding a secret allegiance to the world’s only Jewish State.
Omar also defended Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’ recent controversial Holocaust remarks last Friday; saying people are “in camps” and being “concentrated,” therefore they are “Concentration Camps.”
“When you look at what is taking place, people are being put in camps. And when you think about the definition, if we separate it from death camps, I would say these are camps and people are being concentrated in them. And so that’s the general definition,” Omar said during a recent interview.
“I think a lot of people are conflating what a death camp looks like or a specific removal of people. These people are coming to the border. We are removing them from the border. We are placing them in camps. Some of them are being removed from communities and being put in what we’re calling detention centers — but are essentially camps,” she added.
GRAHAM ON FIRE: Graham Says Trump ‘Sticking to his GUNS’ on Border Wall, Slams ‘Liberal Arrogance’
Senator Lindsey Graham praised President Trump’s fiery exchange with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer this week; saying the Commander-in-Chief was “sticking to his guns” on border security.
The outspoken legislator vowed to fight “liberal arrogance” surrounding immigration Tuesday afternoon; urging fellow lawmakers to “take it on, stare it down” and “see what happens.”
Complaining Pelosi will not accept a DACA deal for wall money, Graham said: “This is liberal arrogance and I have had enough of it. Take it on, stare it down. See what happens.”

Great job sticking to your guns on border security, Mr. President!

Graham urged Republicans to “dig in” following the President’s press conference with Democratic leadership, saying “Put DACA on the table and make them say NO to the Wall and DACA.”
GRAHAM ON FIRE: Media Using ‘Migrant Caravan’ to Frame Trump as ‘Cruel, Heartless Bastard’
Sen. Lindsey Graham stopped by ‘Hannity’ Tuesday night to weigh-in on the media’s blatant double-standard when it comes to border security; saying when President Obama uses tear gas it’s to “protect the country” but when President Trump uses tear gas he’s a “cruel, heartless bastard.”
“You see these statistics from the Obama years and all the times they used tear gas: Do you remember any reports, any hysteria from the media about that?” asked Hannity.
“How long does it take to figure this out? When it comes to Obama, when he uses tear gas it’s to protect the country. The narrative is that Trump is a cruel, heartless bastard that uses tear gas on kids. When the Obama administration uses tear gas it’s to protect our country from being overrun,” said Graham.
