'This is a perfect storm brewing' for terrorism: Graham

Sen. Lindsey Graham reveals the recipe for terrorism in America on 'Justice with Judge Jeanine.'

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., explained the deeper implications of the Texas synagogue hostage crisis Saturday on "Justice with Judge Jeanine."

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: Conservatism is on the rise, liberalism is on the run. And why is that? The Taliban are now back in charge of Afghanistan. We've got the highest inflation in 40 years. We've had the most illegal immigrants crossing in the history of the country. And crime is rampant. The Biden administration looks like my face. They've had a heck of a terrible year. And from a political perspective, Donald Trump is more viable for 2024 than Joe Biden and any other Republican.

…

This is a religious war. What did I say on your show when we withdrew from Afghanistan? That this is a perfect storm brewing. The rise in terrorism by the Taliban taking back over; al Qaeda roams freely in Afghanistan. ISIS is alive and well over there, and the border is broken — it's just a matter of time before terrorists over there come through our border and kill a bunch of Americans. I don't know about the fact pattern here, but also this week, the Ayatollah's people, the people around him, released a video indicating a desire to kill President Trump on a golf course. … And the Biden administration hasn't done a damn thing.
