‘Hang on’: Reporter Pushes Back Against Graham’s Afghanistan Prediction

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) stunned a reporter after suggesting the United States will send troops back to 🇦🇫Afghanistan in the future.

During an interview with the BBC, Graham told host Stephen Sackur, “Whether you like Trump or not, whether you believe it’s Trump’s fault or Biden’s fault, here’s where we’re at as a world, the Taliban are not reformed, they’re not new.” 

He added, “They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times. They’re going to impose a lifestyle on the Afghan people that I think is going to make us all sick to our stomach.”

Graham explained, “They’re going to give safe haven to Al Qaeda who has ambitions to drive us out of the Mid East writ large and attack us because of our way of life. We will be going back into 🇦🇫Afghanistan as we went back into Iraq and Syria.”

Sackur replied, “Hang on. You seriously think the United States will once again, in the foreseeable future, put troops back into 🇦🇫Afghanistan?”

Graham argued, “We’ll have to. We’ll have to. Because the threat will be so large.”
