Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly asked Trump on Monday, “The Russians have a habit of poisoning people they don’t like, and Graham previously called for Putin’s removal. Do you have any doubts or concerns about this?” Lindsey Graham was one of the most influential “hawkish foreign policy figures” in the Republican Party, known for his strong support for U.S. military power, Ukraine, Israel, and his hardline stance against Russia and Iran. He died last Saturday at the age of 71 after experiencing “a brief and sudden illness.”
In response, Trump said, “I’d love to say ‘yes’ to that conspiracy theory, but I think he did have some health problems…and his father was about the same age when he died…” He also stated that, according to doctors, a part of Graham’s body “actually just burst.”
