Chris Hayes Says Clip of Lindsey Graham Calling for Iraq War Almost Gave Him a ‘Rage Stroke’

‘I haven’t seen that one in a while’

EXCERPT:

[clip starts]
GRAHAM: "I believe that Saddam Hussein is giving aid and comfort, training and assistance to al-Qaeda murderers, that he has weapons of mass destruction. He is lying when he says he doesn’t, and he will never voluntarily disarm. 500 inspectors, 5000 inspectors is not going to make him disarm. He is a danger to our country and the world. He has killed his own people. And you’re not going to disarm him by diplomacy. It's going to take force."

HAYES: "That clip just almost gave me a rage stroke. I haven’t seen that one in a while. Those lies and that war defined the Republican Party in some ways for a generation, which is partly why it felt to many within the Republican Party, I mean, the base of the party, like a breath of fresh air when Trump ripped into Jeb Bush, who was trying to rehabilitate his brother’s legacy."
