Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has become a staunch ally of President Trump, but in an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday, he disagreed with the president, while heaping some praise on some of Trump's potential Democratic presidential contenders.
Graham made it clear that he disagrees with Trump when it comes to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. Trump has expressed the belief that the prince was not involved with the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, but Graham isn't buying it. He told CBS' Margaret Brennan that bin Salman is a "disruptive force" throughout the Middle East and he is sure that the crown prince ordered Khashoggi's killing.
