The Hill

Sen.
Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is criticizing Fox News, saying the moderators
of Thursday night's debate were too harsh with GOP rival Donald Trump.
“This
was more of an inquisition than it was a debate,” Graham said on
MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Friday morning. “It was a missed opportunity to
talk about things that
really mattered.”
Graham
charged that debate moderators Bret Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn
Kelly were particularly unfair in their questioning of Trump, the
outspoken billionaire who is
leading many GOP polls.
“At
the end of the day, ask the man a question that explains his position
and his solutions rather than a ten-minute question that describes him
as the biggest bastard
on the planet,” Graham quipped.
The
South Carolina lawmaker said Thursday night’s contest resulted in a
lost chance at addressing crucial issues such as immigration reform.
“Did you really understand our position on immigration after this debate?” Graham asked.
Graham, though, also criticized Trump's stance on illegal immigration.
“Mexico
is not making these people come here,” he said of illegal immigrants.
“They’re coming here because they want to. They live in hellholes and
they want a better
life.
“The
whole construct that they are sending their worst I reject,” Graham
added, rebuking Trump’s frequent claims that many illegal immigrants are
unwanted in their home
countries and bringing crime to the U.S.
Graham said Trump’s rhetoric on issues such as immigration will make him incapable of winning the general election in 2016.
“Hillary
Clinton would beat Trump like a drum,” Graham said of the frontrunner
for the Democratic nomination. “I don’t think so, I know so.”
Graham
failed to make the main stage with the top 10 Republican contenders,
participating instead in an earlier debate with the other GOP nominees
who fell outside the
top 10.
