A clear-eyed view.

In 2015, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-NC) was clear on how he felt about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

"He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot," Graham said. "He doesn't represent my party. He doesn't represents the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for."


Graham was also a close friend of the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ), whom now-President Donald Trump continues to loathe.

But in 2019, Graham is now one of Trump's most unwavering allies. He demonstrated that most recently in an interview with Fox & Friends while defending Trump's racist tweets, in which he told four minority congresswomen to "go back" to their countries (all are American).

It wasn't long until The View's Meghan McCain—Senator McCain's daughter, who once described Graham as an uncle to her—slammed his defense of Trump's "old, racist dog whistles" in no uncertain terms.

Watch below:

She also criticized her own party for its silence on Trump's incendiary comments.

"The cowardice I'm seeing, Republicans not speaking out and saying it today is embarrassing," the conservative McCain said. "It's deeply cowardly."

She continued:

"Whatever's happening to Lindsey, this is not the person I used to know."

People on both sides of the aisle agreed.

Let's hope other Conservatives follow McCain's lead.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
