And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons.” Sunday on Face the Nation, Graham was shown footage of Trump saying at a rally the previous night, “If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. This is a rational conclusion to draw when you one Republican politician call another a “RINO.” But the reaction also tells me that most people haven’t been following the twisted Trump-Graham drama, since for them this latest exchange almost counts as pleasant. Reports on Trump’s comments described them as a serious act of aggression: The ex-president had “ blasted,” “ turned on,” “ mercilessly mocked,” or even “ savaged” one of his closest allies. In an interview with Newsmax that aired on Tuesday, Donald Trump leveled the ultimate insult at Lindsey Graham: He called the South Carolina senator a “RINO,” or “Republican in name only.” Trump was responding to Graham’s assertion that it was “inappropriate” for the ex-president to dangle pardons for those who committed crimes to keep him in power.
