Sen. Lindsey Graham found himself squarely in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s cross hairs Monday after the South Carolina lawmaker lashed out at the Queens congresswoman and her cohort of progressive female lawmakers known as “the Squad.”

“I see @LindseyGrahamSC’s biggest issue w/ Trump’s racism is that it doesn’t go far enough – Graham wants to bring back 1950s McCarthyism, too,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Monday after Graham went on “Fox & Friends” and called the lefty group “anti-Semitic,” “anti-America” and a “bunch of communists.”
“GOP is doing this because they have no plan for our future,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “We’re the ones fighting for healthcare, edu, good jobs, & they got nothing.”
Graham went on the rant moments after telling the show’s hosts that President Trump should tone down his rhetoric against Ocasio-Cortez and fellow progressive Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley — four American citizens and duly elected lawmakers who Trump on Sunday said should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
“Aim higher,” Graham said, addressing Trump.
Trump tweeted portions of Graham’s statements just after the TV appearance — but left out much of Graham’s suggestions that he ease up on the lawmakers.
