Lindsey Graham

I want to let the good people of Alabama know that in terms of their Senator, Jeff Sessions, he is a fine man, an outstanding fellow who I often disagree with.

If after having been briefed by our intelligence leaders, Donald Trump is still unsure as to what the Russians did, that would be incredibly unnerving to me because the evidence is overwhelming.

Putin is up to no good and he better be stopped.

It is time now not to throw pebbles but to throw rocks.

I intend to support him, but he needs to explain to the American people why.

Do you agree with me that the foundation of democracy is political parties, and when one political party is compromised, all of us are compromised?

We got a chance as a Nation to lay down a marker for all would-be adversaries. Do you agree with that?

To those of you who want to throw rocks, you are going to get a chance here soon, and if we do not throw rocks, we are going to make a huge mistake.

I think what Obama did was throw a pebble. I am ready to throw a rock.

I think most of us agree that when the U.N. has 20 resolutions against Israel for their settlement policy and six against the world at large, they have sort of lost their way.

If we don't push back against Putin, Iran and China, they could hack into our systems. Today, it's Democrats. Tomorrow, it could be Republicans.

There are a hundred United States senators. Amy Klobuchar is on this trip with us. I would say that 99 of us believe the Russians did this. And we're going to do something about it.

There's no doubt in my mind that Russia hacked into our political systems, that it was Russian groups that hacked into Podesta's email, the DNC. They hacked into my campaign account.

We're going to hit you and hit you hard. I'm going to introduce sanctions that will be bipartisan, that names Putin as an individual, his inner circle, for not only hacking into our political systems, but trying to destabilize democracy…

Today I rise to speak out against hate. Across our country, incidents of hate crimes and harassment are on the rise. Just this last week, the trend reared its ugly head in my hometown of Tallahassee. A community office was vandalized with…

It makes no sense to me to retire the A-10 because it actually works.
