Sen. Lindsey Graham compared President Trump’s goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon to Winston Churchill’s fight against Nazi Germany. Graham defended Trump’s remarks about not considering Americans’ financial situations, saying the central issue is stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear capability. Graham argued Iran seeks a nuclear weapon to advance a religious agenda, destroy Israel, and potentially hold the United States hostage. He said the greatest threat to global stability is a nuclear-armed Iran and that any price must be paid. Graham also stated he would sacrifice his job and potentially political power to ensure Iran never has a nuclear weapon.
"Welker asked if was worth losing the midterms over dissatisfaction with the economy in order to achieve a non-nuclear Iran. It's worth losing my job, Graham said. If I had to give my job up to make sure Iran would never have a nuclear weapon, I would do it. Would you give up the House and the Senate? Welker asked. I would give up politically, the most important thing I can do with the job I've been given is to protect the American people, Graham said."
