A former Republican strategist blasted President Donald Trump and his “vandals” for betraying Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) last crusade with “nonsense.”
During an episode of The Warning, Steve Schmidt talked about how Trump is “putting a great deal of money” into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s pockets with the Iran war. Late senior Sen. Lindsey Graham had just come back from Ukraine and, as Schmidt noted, was ready to propose sanctions against Russia when he died.
“Lindsey Graham, a few hours before his death, was talking about his Russia sanctions bill,” Schmidt said. “When Donald Trump launched his war with Iran, global oil prices spiked, putting a great deal of money into whose pocket? That’s right, Vladimir Putin’s pocket.”
Graham was a loyal Trump ally, Schmidt noted as he blasted “the shallowness, the abject stupidity of MAGA policy and the MAGA senators who are celebrated in too many quarters as statesmen as opposed to imbeciles.”
Schmidt didn’t just go after Trump but also “Jared Kushner and his Abraham Accords, which are a disaster,” and Kushner and “Steve Witkoff meddling around the world,” calling it all “nonsense” that’s leading to another war.
“They squeeze on the balloon, moving air around it in disruptive ways that are often, in the end, catastrophic,” Schmidt said. “America losing a war to Iran means that there will be a bigger, more deadly war sometime in the next decade.”
Speaking about the bigger war, Schmidt continued, “All of the seeds are being laid for it right now, today, as we speak, by the foolish men and women who have followed Trump to the edge of the abyss and over it.”
