Graham says former generals' criticism of Trump is 'desperate'published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time
A bit earlier this morning, Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham joined the US Sunday media rounds to defend his close ally, Donald Trump.
Speaking with ABC News, Graham was asked about comments made earlier this week by Trump's White House chief of staff John Kelly, who described his former boss as having fascist tendencies.
The South Carolina senator called Kelly "emotional" and acting out of "desperation".
"He's entitled to his opinion, I just categorically reject it," Graham said.
Graham also noted that while he "admires" the general, he thinks people like Kelly should reflect on their own service before lobbing criticisms at Trump.
