South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham didn’t quite defend President Trump’s comments urging prominent liberal freshmen congresswomen to “go back” to their home countries during his appearance on Fox & Friends Monday. But the comments are a long way from what he said about Trump in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election.

“‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came?”
