Lindsey Graham Tears Apart Trump’s Anti-Muslim Tweets: ‘The Antidote to Terrorism Is Not Racism and Bigotry’ (Mediaite)

Sen. Lindsey Graham appeared on CNN this morning and absolutely tore apart President Donald Trump’s retweeting of those anti-Muslim videos yesterday, noting that his actions could do harm to the fight against terror.

“I think it was a very unhelpful decision by the president to embrace a right wing website in Britain that markets in Islamophobia and religious bigotry and give it credibility,” he said. “One thing I’ve learned after 42 trips to the region is that the antidote to terrorism is not racism and religious bigotry.”

“When you embrace religious bigotry, when you say that all Muslims are the same, then you’re undercutting our effort to win the war.”
