Lindsey Graham actually said...

"Nor does it help when many in Congress act as if Russia's interference in our elections is not important."

"It does not help when our own President extols the virtues of someone like Vladimir Putin, who has murdered his political opponents and rules like an authoritarian dictator."

"It does not help when our own president, who has bragged about his business dealings in Russia--a place where doing business is often synonymous with bribery--refuses to release his tax returns."

"He can get away with it because he has simultaneously and systematically silenced his critics."
