Sen. Darline Graham on Taiwan: ‘I’m Not a Politician, Certainly Not a Career Politician’

TRANSCRIPT:

GRAHAM: "I tripped up on one question last night, regarding Taiwan. But, you know, I have said many times, I’m not a politician, certainly not a career politician. I don’t speak politician. You know, I was just honest.And I think that’s kind of a foreign concept, but I talked to several people today, I traveled around the state, and they said, 'You know, we appreciated the fact that you were honest.' And I did say several times that, you know, China is our enemy, our military and economic threat to the United States. Of course, Taiwan is our friend. But I think people in South Carolina are more worried about making ends meet. They are concerned about boys in girls' sports. One lady talked to me extensively about that today. They are concerned about the Second Amendment. They are concerned about the Save America Act, illegal immigration. So they are concerned about a lot of other things other than Taiwan."
