'Nobody in your world gets it': Lindsey Graham snaps at CBS host while defending Trump

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) lashed out at the host of "Face the Nation" on Sunday after she pressed him over whether it is appropriate for Donald Trump to use the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute his perceived political enemies.

Host Margaret Brennan moved on in the interview over the war in Ukraine and brought up the president sanctioning law firms and lawyers he believes are hostile to him and that brought out the Trump defender in the South Carolina Republican.

"I want to ask you about what's happening here at home," Brennan prompted her guest. "There were more executive orders from the president this week targeting some of the country's most prominent law firms, including Paul Weiss. He wants to restrict business activities of the firm, despite a federal judge ruling in a different case that it's unconstitutional. The President suspended security clearances at the firm. He stripped clearances from lawyers over at Covington & Burling as well because they were involved in representing former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Do you support this?"

As Graham replied, "I think Jack Smith's effort to prosecute President Trump for January 6 was politically motivated, and people who engage in trying to destroy President Trump, I don't mind him going after them in a lawful way. I don't mind restrict--," the CBS host interrupted, "Is this lawful? Is this good for the US legal system, Senator? Because the President is trying to use government power to punish private business because he didn't like some of the work they had been doing."

"Private business aided government power in a fashion to destroy Donald Trump's life," the GOP lawmaker protested before accusing, "You know on our side, nobody in your world gets it, but our people believe that the Justice Department was used as a weapon to destroy Trump's campaign and his business interests and to ruin his family; that they made up bogus charges and they proceeded in a fashion that was designed to destroy him, politically and personally. I believe that. If these people involved pay a price, they got nobody but themselves to blame, that's what I believe--."

"But these are lawyers working on cases that- you're making it sound like the work that they take on is somehow part of a conspiracy, and they should be punished for it," Brennan interjected.

"Yeah, I think- I think these law firms were pushing legal theories that, to me, were designed for political outcomes more than legal outcomes. You know, we can have a debate about- you know, holding a lawyer accountable for his client's actions," Graham replied.

Scott Jennings gets an earful from Michigan Dem over Trump's tariff disaster in her state

CNN conservative Scott Jennings got a lecture from a Michigan Democratic lawmaker on Sunday morning after he tried to downplay the impact Donald Trump's tariffs are having on local economies.

Sitting on a panel, moderated by "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper, Jennings attempted to downplay Trump's declining approval numbers and asserted, "My point is Trump is trying to make a long-term structural change to the economy. He's he's asked people to give him some time –– we'll see if they do it."

That led Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) to jump into the fray and direct him to Trump's plan to cancel the CHIPS and Science Act, a law signed by former President Joe Biden in 2022 that gives funding to companies to manufacture semiconductors stateside.

"He's going to cancel the CHIPS Act and he's putting on tariffs on steel and aluminum ––from Canada, from Canada," she emphasized. "That's my point here. Canada tariffs are not good for Michigan and I'll tell you what: it's $6 billion to build a new smelter in the United States of America. If you're canceling something like CHIPS, where is that $6 billion going to come from for these jobs?"
