Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) slammed Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) for dodging a question related to the six Israeli hostages found dead over the last week, arguing he emboldened terrorist groups across the world.

A viral video online showed Walz visiting the Minnesota State Fair, during which he evaded a reporter who asked him about the hostages. Graham argued Walz’s response to the question was “one of the most despicable things I’ve ever seen” in his political career and said Vice President Kamala Harris showed similar disregard to Israel when she did not attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress earlier this year.
