Brutus in South Carolina

OPINION:

Just when you thought it was impossible for anyone to screw things up worse in Ukraine than President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris already have, Sen. Lindsey Graham opens his mouth. On Twitter.

Shooting from the hip the way only a military lawyer can, Mr. Graham publicly asked for someone to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin — a certifiable madman who claims he invaded Ukraine out of fear that the West is out to get him.

Gee, I wonder where Mr. Putin got that crazy idea?

“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian Military?” Mr. Graham asked, referring to the man who assassinated Julius Caesar and the officer who tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

“The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out,” Mr. Graham thumbed on Twitter. “You would be doing your country — and the world — a great service.”
