Graham told reporters on Wednesday that he thought Paul and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) were „overreacting“ by criticizing comments made during a closed-door Iran briefing.

„They‘re libertarians,“ Graham said. „I think they‘re overreacting, quite frankly. Go debate all you want to. I‘m going to debate you. Trust me, I‘m going to let people know that at this moment in time to play this game with the war powers act … whether you mean to or not, you‘re empowering the enemy.“
