Lindsey Graham Wants Putin Assassinated

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) isn’t backing down on his comments calling for Vladimir Putin to be assassinated, Politico reports.

Said Graham: “I hope he’ll be taken out, one way or the other. I don’t care how they take him out. I don’t care if we send him to The Hague and try him. I just want him to go. Yes, I am on record.” 

He added: “Vladimir Putin is not a legitimate leader, he is a war criminal. He needs to be dealt with by the Russian people. I’m not asking to invade Russia to take him out. I’m not asking to send American ground forces to Ukraine to fight the Russian army. I am asking the Russian people to rise up and end this reign of terror.”
