Graham: It’s ‘Progress’ that Trump Says He Believes Russia Is Behind the Hacking

‘I think there is a bipartisan desire to punish Russia’

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "Well number one, I realize I got 1 percent, so we can let that go. (Laughter) So, here’s what I think; I think there is a bipartisan desire to punish Russia not only for hacking into our elections even though, I don’t believe they changed the outcome, they tried to disrupt our election and they’re doing it all over the world. The president-elect said he believed Russia was behind the hacking -- that is progress. Tillerson indicates that sanctions are a tool that can be used in — a tool in the toolbox that can be used. So, I hope that Tillerson will embrace sanctions if they’re passed by the Congress. I predict if we had a vote on more sanctions against Russia today it'd get 80 votes in the Senate."
