Sen. Graham: “This legislation, if passed, would designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law until they return the children. If you want to vote no, we will make you famous… We’re going to make Russia under U.S. law what they are: Terrorists.”

Fast forward to Trump telling Graham to dump this bill and Graham complying…

It's about time Senator, now actually do it.

It’s about time that we designated the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in human history as such.

These words sound nice but they've not been backed up by any action at all. Lay a marker down.

How bout that sanctions bill how's that going? You know the one you were boasting about a month and a half ago. We need action not spineless politicians protecting their own financial, political, and social interests. Sen Graham is a perfect example of all talk no walk. He says the right things but he clearly does what trump tells him. Thats proven by his statements about the previous Russian sanctions bill where he stated he had well over the majority forcing a no vote situation. If that many Senators we for it why did they not write and pass it? Now hes like oh we are goingnto designate them a state sponsor of terrorism. What in all honesty will that accomplish? Give Ukraine the weapons they need to do the job. Untie their hands as far as where and what they can strike. And let them cook they are willing to do the work they just need yhe tools. That above all will bring a quick, fair, and just closure to this war. Or putin goes Neuclear and then the western world is forced to Wipe all of Russia off the maps.

Looking forward to this vote—it's time to hold Russia accountable.

Lindsey has been threatening to punish Russia all year - he has passed nothing into law

Russia should also be considered a State Sponsor of Terrorism because of its daily mass attacks including missiles bombs and drones targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.

It’s time to act on it. As Col. @JESweet2022, U.S. Army (ret.) & I warn at @TheHill today, Putin is making a bid to destroy NATO. ^ And, Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC, Putin isn’t going to what around to keep trying while the Senate dithers.

this is not the way. this is designed to lead to war. Graham knows it and wants that outcome. This will not make us safer.

@AccountableGOP When Trump gets on the horn every Republican will vote no, including Lindsay Graham.

We shall see how far this goes…

bet they won't , trump will come to Russia's rescue...

Careful @LindseyGrahamSC Trump will pull his support from your campaign if you cross his dad Putin.

somebunny's going to get invited to go golfing this weekend and he'll be singing a new song on Monday.

What if these children were rescued from Ukrainian child trafficking rings and Russia is taking care of them till this movie plays out. I honestly can't believe anything these clowns say anymore. We are definitely not being told the whole story here.

But will Graham actually introduce the bill and bring it to a vote? He got 85 cosponsors for his sanctions bill, then refused to introduce it. He is a fraud.

I don't have a very high opinion of most of @LindseyGrahamSC's views, but this is different. The US, EU, NATO have to stand up to Putin, and push his troops back into Russia. It makes no sense that Trump is always trying to appease Putin.

Good luck buddy. The Russians didn't infiltrate your party for nothing. The civil war is actually happening inside the Republican party and I do believe it will get even more violent. It's their nature.

Sen Graham says Russia kidnapped 19,546 Ukrainian children; however, children in the dominantly Russian war-torn Donbass region were sent to Russia for their protection. Does Graham want to comment on the memorial to Donbass children killed by NATO-armed #Ukraine and Nazi thugs?

He nothing but warmonger who support corruption of Ukraine and Russia. Fund to keep the war going so he can get richer.

@Ethan727Joanne Republicans talk and talk about hurting Russia but they always obey Trump and do NOTHING!!

It will not pass. Trump will see to that. And @LindseyGrahamSC will do nothing in response.

Never trust Lindsey

Republicans control the House and Senate. Why hasnt it passed? Oh right, because you have no intention of voting on it, just talking about it for the cameras

Was it the Russians that killed Kirk?

Russia is a terrorist state.

Will Trump sign it? It might even pass by a veto proof majority.

I don't support this it waters down the meaning of terrorism especially today on 24th anniversary of 9-11

If only they'd done this 15 months ago, instead of obeying criminal interference in U.S. foreign policy by a civilian, Trump, & sent the $60 BILLION in military aid, sitting on the tarmac, to Ukraine. Russia would be defeated. Putin may very have been removed by his government.

The insatiable war whore

Now do the Epstein Files
