Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News' Jesse Waters on Wednesday he does not support the anti-Free Speech "RESTRICT Act" - despite being a co-sponsor of the bill - only to have his handlers come out later that night and announce he actually does support the bill and will be happy to defend it.
"Did the United States Senate just say we are going to protect you from China by spying on you? Let's try to get some answers out of Sen. Lindsey Graham who supports this and is here now," Watters said just prior to Graham appearing on the show.
"I don't think I support the RESTRICT Act," Graham told Watters.
DailyCaller report: Graham co-sponsored the RESTRICT Act, S 686, on Monday, according to congress.
"Here's the problem as I see it. China is the parent company of TikTok and my nieces like TikTok," Graham said.
"You have got to go back and talk to the other senators about this," Watters told Graham.
"Admittedly, it wasn't Senator Graham's best interview tonight. It happens. However, I expect Sen. Graham will speak to his support for the Restrict Act and concerns about the Chinese communist party's control of Tik[T]ok tomorrow," a spokesman for Graham told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
