Trump ally Lindsay Graham ramps up criticism of McConnell in latest attempt to curry favor with TFG

Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina took a fresh broadside at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday, swiping at the Kentucky Republican's handling of the recent debt ceiling deal with Republicans.

"What we did is promised one thing and delivered another," Graham told "Fox News Sunday," adding he believed the Senate GOP had reversed itself from its pledge to force Democrats to lift the nation's borrowing cap on its own using a party-line maneuver known as reconciliation.

In an implicit rebuke of McConnell, Graham also said that any figure aspiring to be a Congressional Republican leader must have "a working relationship with Donald Trump" or else "you cannot be effective."

"So, I hope we'll get on the same page here," Graham said.
