Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the press had a “lynch-mob mentality” regarding alleged wrongdoing by the Trump administration.

Graham said, “No evidence yet that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. I don’t believe the president colluded with the Russians just because of the way he behaves. There is zero evidence President Trump did anything wrong with them. There is overwhelming evidence that Russia is trying to destroy Democracy here and abroad and if you forgive and forget with Putin you will get more of the same and entice Iran and China to come in in 2018 and 2020.”

“So to any Republican that believes Russia didn’t do it you are wrong,” he continued. “To any Democratic who wants to impeach President Trump because of Russia you wrong. All I can say is there a is a lynch mob mentality about the Trump administration in the press. They are about as fair as a lynch mob. But these tweets he does feeds the lynch mob. You are your own worst enemy, Mr. President, knock it off.”
