South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) appeared this morning on Fox News Sunday to challenge President Barack Obama to create a stronger homeland defense to ISIS forces advancing through Iraq and Syria.
"They are coming here. It is about our homeland, and if we get attacked because he has no strategy to protect us, then he will have committed a blunder for the ages," Graham said. "I think of an American city in flames because of the terrorists' ability to operate in Syria and Iraq."
