Sen. Lindsey Graham made an appearance on Fox “news” this Tuesday and had no answer to either of the hosts asking him repeatedly who might fill the power vacuum in Iran if we take out their leadership.
Graham sounded a whole lot like his buddy Ted Cruz, calling for regime change, consequences be damned and constantly fearmongering about the “religious fanatics” in another country, when we all know Republicans have no such concerns for the ones in their party right here in the United States.
Here’s part of the exchange with Graham from America Reports with hosts John Roberts and Gillian Turner who both sounded almost sane compared to Graham’s rantings.
ROBERTS: I mean they do upset the apple cart in so many ways in the Middle East, and there are a lot of people there who believe that the reason why that that region is not more stable is because of Iran.
Saudi Arabia would like to see the theocracy gone. I know the Emirates would and many other Arab states as well.
But then there’s the question of what happens if there is a power vacuum there? We saw all too well what happened in Iraq. We saw what happened in Afghanistan. The Taliban took over in literally a matter of hours.
You’ve got competing factions as well who would vie to take over Iran. On the one side you’ve got the Crown Prince Raza Pahlavi, who would like to go in as an interim leader.
