Reacting to Sen. Lindsey Graham having a meltdown on ABC on Sunday when pressed on Donald Trump's 37-count federal indictment, the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" scorched the South Carolina Republican's litany of lies after he snapped at "The Week" host George Stephanopoulos.
After watching a clip of Graham going off after exclaiming "Let me finish!" and insulting the ABC host, "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough described the Graham diatribe as "so pathetic" before adding, "Everything he said there is wrong."
According to Scarborough, "That guy is unrecognizable from the guy that used to run around the Senate and around the world with John McCain. John McCain flipped in his grave about 30 times there. Senator McCain told me before he passed how sad and how disappointed he was with Lindsey Graham -- couldn't believe he had stars in his eyes and was willing to do what he was willing to do to play golf with Donald Trump."
"Lindsey Graham, you lie to them all the time," he continued before later adding, "He's a champion of national security and he's fine with Donald Trump taking national security secrets to his beach house and leaving them in the shower and leaving them in the bathroom, leaving them in open spaces regarding nuclear secrets regarding America's vulnerabilities, regarding our allies."

'I mean, this is -- again, it's just -- you talk about the degrading of the Republican Party and Lindsey Graham personally there? It's sad and pathetic. I keep going back to what's worth that?" he added.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski chipped in, "Look at what's in this indictment. That was an insane reaction; it's just stupid and foolish and insane."
