Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham warned incoming Sen. Mitt Romney Wednesday that publicly opposing President Trump would "hurt him and Utah." Graham, a critic-turned-ally of the president, responded to the opinion piece by Romney in The Washington Post saying that Mr. Trump "has not risen to the mantle of the office."
"If he's going to be the critic from Utah, it's going to hurt him and Utah," Graham said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio. Graham said that Mr. Trump is accessible and open to discussing policy. Graham has met with Mr. Trump to try to convince the president not to withdraw troops from Syria, although those attempts have so far been unsuccessful.
However, Graham said, Mr. Trump would not be willing to work with Romney "if he believes you are out to get him." Mr. Trump mocked Romney in a tweet on Wednesday morning, comparing him to former Sen. Jeff Flake, a frequent critic of the president.
"Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question will be, is he a Flake? I hope not. Would much prefer that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful. I won big, and he didn't. He should be happy for all Republicans. Be a TEAM player & WIN!" Mr. Trump wrote.

Now now Lindsey. Don't be worrying your little head about Utah. Worry about your own state, South Carolina, instead.

(182,879 posts)The custom was for first term Senators to stay in the background lest the Lions of the Senate came out and put them in their place. Hillary did it, Frankenstein did it, Kaine, etc. but Rand Paul and Ted Cruz blew that out of the water.
