Russia Issues Arrest Warrant for Fat-Mouthed Lindsey Graham After Video Leak
Graham praised former President Barack Obama for picking Victoria Nuland as his assistant secretary of State for European and Eurasian affairs
Russia issued an arrest warrant for Sen. Lindsey Graham who appeared in a video last week calling the billions that the U.S. spent in Ukraine “the best money we’ve spent” before noting that Russians were dying in the conflict.

The Associated Press noted that Ukraine’s presidential office edited the video and put Graham’s comments about American support and Russians dying in a sequence, which drew swift scrutiny in Russia.
Graham was meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the time he made the comments.

The report said Russia’s Interior Ministry issued a warrant for Graham’s arrest.
Graham, one of the biggest war hawks in Congress who has called for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be assassinated at least twice, posted on Twitter, saying that “to know that my commitment to Ukraine has drawn the ire of Putin’s regime brings me immense joy.”
Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian Security Council deputy chairman, said Graham is an old fool and threatened him.
“In his beloved America, not only ordinary people are regularly killed, but dirty money is also being spent on killing senators,” Medvedev said. “He should recall the sad fate of Robert Kennedy, Huey Long, Clementa Carlos Pinckney, John Milton Elliott, Wayne Owens and other American politicians.”
TRENDPOST: Earlier in the war, Graham was asked in an interview about President Joe Biden’s decision to turn down the idea of Poland delivering two dozen older-model MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.
“Because Putin owns Biden,” Graham said.
Graham has been one of the biggest proponents of more weapons for Ukraine in Congress and has said “defeating Putin is priceless.”
