Paul: Graham 'a danger to the country' for seeking military authorization for North Korea
BY BRETT SAMUELS - 06/11/18 06:50 PM EDT
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Monday blasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) for drafting an authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) in North Korea should President Trump’s forthcoming meeting with Kim Jong Un go south.
“Lindsey Graham is a danger to the country by even proposing ideas like authorizing war with Korea,” Paul said on CNN.
“So that should be something that is seen as naïve and seen as something that really serious people shouldn’t even be discussing,” he added.
Paul was responding to Graham’s earlier comments on ABC’s “This Week,” in which the South Carolina senator said he’d already drafted an AUMF.
“I hope I never have to use it, but if you want to convince North Korea and China that things are different with Trump, then Congress has to have his back,” said Graham, who has previously expressed support for military use in North Korea if needed.
