Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) used his appearance on Sunday's Face the Nation to warn Republicans about the harm he says Donald Trump is causing the party.
"Let me just tell my friends, who I really do respect, if you are embracing Donald Trump, you're destroying conservatism," he said. "You will make it hard for this party to ever regain footing with Hispanics, because his immigration proposal is unworkable, is hateful. When it comes to women, we're alienating women, who should be coming our way after eight years of Obama." There is a "civil war going on in the Republican Party," Graham continued, adding that he believes the Republican frontrunner's foreign policy is "isolationism," which will "lead to another 9/11."
