What in the world is going on with the normally sensible Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham?
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., went into meltdown mode with Newsmax's Israel correspondent, Daniel Cohen, during a Sunday press conference in Tel Aviv.
"I've got my own view of what to say - you're not going to screw this up," Graham continued.
Graham eventually apologized to Cohen for the comment, attributing it to "Raw" emotions surrounding the high stakes in the region.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, took a markedly different tone than Graham.
For the record, Graham and Collins were not alone.
Ironically, Graham's tirade against Newsmax's Cohen only highlights exactly the problem both inside and outside the United States.
Suffice to say, the time to stand up and speak out against all of this is now. Right now.
Whether you are a Democrat senator visiting Israel — or having your Democrat party represented by a Democrat member of Congress whose flagrantly racist and anti-Semitic rants deserve censure at the least if not expulsion — there is always the moment to speak up.
This week, when faced with a version of that question from Newsmax’s Daniel Cohen — the Democrat senators on the platform with Graham chose to remain silent about Tlaib. As has the rest of the Democrat Party hierarchy.
Not good.
