Graham Uses His Praise of Trump Action In Embassy Attack To Troll Clinton And Obama
On Tuesday Senator Lindsey Graham trolled Hillary Clinton and former President Barak Obama when he praised President Trump for his action.
In response to the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad, Senator Lindsey Graham praised the President and took a shot at the former President and Secretary of State saying, “Very proud of [Trump] acting decisively in the face of threats to our embassy in Baghdad,” Graham tweeted as the news unfolded. “He has put the world on notice — there will be no Benghazis on his watch.”
Graham also warned the Iranian government and American allies in Iraq saying that they need to choose their battles. Graham said, “Be careful what you wish for. A country that depends on the ability to refine oil for its existence needs to be cautious. President Trump, unlike President Obama, will hold you accountable for threats against Americans and hit you where it hurts the most.”
To the Iranian government:
Be careful what you wish for — a country that depends on the ability to refine oil for its existence needs to be cautious.

To our Iraqi allies:
This is your moment to convince the American people the US-Iraq relationship is meaningful to you and worth protecting.
Protect our American personnel. You will not regret it.

On Tuesday hundreds of protesters stormed the compound upset about US airstrikes carried out on facilities in Iraq and Syria that have been discovered to be controlled by a Iranian-backed militia.
“Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will,” Trump said. “Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!”
