Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is "disgusted" with Donald Trump's increasingly divisive rhetoric, particularly the Republican presidential frontrunner's proposed ban on all Muslim immigrants and tourists into the United States.
Graham didn't mince words in addressing Trump's supporters during an appearance on CNN: "I don't know who you are and I don't know why you like this guy. I think what you like about him, he appears to be strong and the rest of us are weak. He's a very successful businessman and he's gonna make everything great. He's gonna take all the problems of the world and put 'em in a box and make your life better. That's what he's selling."
