Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham was photographed at Walt Disney World on Sunday enjoying a fancy brunch after he repeatedly called for further military intervention against Iran.
Graham, who drew ire from both Republicans and Democrats after he called for the use of American troops to seize Kharg Island, enjoyed the $59 all-you-can-eat meal at Chef Mickey’s, a buffet-style dining establishment at the Contemporary Resort near the Magic Kingdom, according to photos posted by TMZ. Graham was also spotted holding a bubble wand while in the Magic Kingdom.
An eyewitness told TMZ that the hawkish senator, who has never been married and has no children, was holding the bubble wand for a girl who was using the restroom.
Graham compared the potential seizure of Kharg Island to the American capture of Iwo Jima in World War II during a March 22 appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” arguing it would leave Iran “defanged.”
“I trust DOD. We got two Marine Expeditionary Units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima, we can do this. The Marines, my money is always on the Marines,” Graham told host Shannon Bream. “I don’t know if you take the island or you blockade the island, but I know this the day we control that island, this regime, this terrorist regime has been weakened. It will die on a vine.”
A Marine Expeditionary Unit consists of a Marine infantry battalion with attached forces, including artillery, armored vehicles, anti-tank missiles and aircraft like the MV-22B Osprey, the F-35B Lightning and the AH-1Z attack helicopter. The unit deploys on a U.S. Navy Amphibious Ready Group that includes a helicopter assault ship and other vessels.
Graham expressed hope after his remarks about seizing Kharg Island that after the conflict with Iran ended, Israel and Saudi Arabia would resume work on negotiating a peace treaty that was derailed by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas.
“As soon as we get Iran defanged so they can never do another October 7th, I want to start up peace talks between Saudi and Israel this year,” Graham told Bream. “I want a peace deal between Saudi and Israel normalizing [relations], ending the Arab-Israeli conflict that’s been going on for 2,000 years this year, and you can’t do it with a lethal Iran. So we’re weeks away from this Iranian regime not having the capability to stop peace.”
Graham pressed Trump to launch strikes against Iran, making multiple visits to Israel for intelligence briefings and also meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
