Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took a jab at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday, saying he was “not so sure” about McCain’s remarks on Saturday that a majority of Americans favor free trade.
To our allies: bipartisan majorities of Americans remain pro-free trade, pro-globalization & supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values. Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn’t.
— John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) June 10, 2018
“The [Sen.] Bernie Sanders [I-Vt.] element of the Democratic Party doesn’t stand for free trade. Hillary Clinton said she would get out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership if she had become president. There is a movement in our party that Trump’s seized that got him the nomination, and eventually became president of the United States,” Graham continued. “So I’m not so sure a majority of Americans believe that globalization and free trade is in our interests,” he continued.
