Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is continuing a drumbeat of criticism against President Trump following his response to deadly white-nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.
South Carolina's senior senator told a crowd of 200 people in Chester County yesterday that there is "no place" for bigotry in the GOP. It came the same day that Mr. Trump experienced a bipartisan onslaught of backlash for comments he made during a Tuesday afternoon press conference in New York.
Trump called some demonstrators who protested against white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia last week as "bad" as members of alt-right groups that promote racial hatred. Graham tweeted after the event that the President's comments are "dividing" the country.
Trump responded on Twitter this morning in a series of tweets telling Graham that South Carolina voters would remember his comments.
