Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, a current U.S. senator, admits national security is ‘not my thing’

A sitting Republican U.S. senator was asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea matter to American national security. Her answer was jaw-dropping.“I’m just going to be honest here,” Sen. Darline Graham told voters during Tuesday night’s South Carolina Senate debate. “I’m not that informed on national security.”Graham admitted she did not understand one of the world's most consequential potential flashpoints. “National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise,” she continued. “But I do support the military.” That distinction — between reflexively praising the troops and understanding where an elected leader might send them — is the subject of a devastating new video from retired Space Force Col. Bree Fram.Related: Lindsey Graham’s sister is taking his Senate seat.

We cannot afford to take a chance,” Ronald Reagan says at the start of the video. “We need a man of serious purpose, unmatched experience, knowledge, and ability, and who understands the world.”Related: Lonely Lindsey Graham died tethered to the man who humiliated himIf you're old enough to remember when Republicans attacked Democrats for being unserious about national security, it's time to schedule your mammogram or colonoscopy.Just kidding.
