Lindsey Graham strikes back at John Kelly's 'fascist' comment about Trump: 'Desperate'

Graham, R-S.C., appeared on ABC's "This Week," where he was asked about how Kelly insisted Trump met the "general definition of a fascist" and would govern like a dictator if allowed during an interview with The New York Times last week. 

"Three weeks before the election, you're calling basically Trump Hitler, a fascist, is not going to resonate," the senator continued. "What happened to joy on the Democratic side? They went from joy to now Trump is Hitler. Well, that's desperation."

"I think General Kelly's criticisms are not based on facts," the senator said. "I think it's emotional, it's sad, and it's not going to matter."

"That shows you how desperate this campaign is, you've got three retired generals who have been out of the game for a while, three weeks before the election and trying to replace joy with fear," Graham said.

Graham also noted that he does not think Harris is a fascist or communist either when commenting about the war of words between Trump and Harris.
