"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fired back in his ongoing war of words
with Sen. Rand Paul
(R-Ky.), suggesting that, if Paul is the party’s
2016 nominee, Republicans could lose the foreign policy debate.
“His
record, in my view, shows a foreign policy vision one step behind
leading from behind,” the South Carolina Republican told reporters. “All
I can say, if he’s the nominee, I will support him, but if he’s the
nominee of the party, I think we risk giving up the central issue of the
2016 campaign, which will be foreign policy.”
Graham added that, while he likes Paul, “We’ve had a dispute about
foreign policy ever since he’s been here. ... I think Sen. Paul’s record
on this issue is frankly behind President Obama.”
Paul on Tuesday called Graham and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the
chairman of the Armed Services Committee, “lapdogs” for President
Obama’s foreign policy." TheHill
