Twitter was abuzz talking about Graham’s eyebrow-raising tweets calling for the assassination of Russian president Vladimir Putin (via Insider). Some social media users took a humorous approach in their responses. “Resign now is trending because Lindsey Graham got a couple of cosmos in him at happy hour and decided to start threatening world leaders…” Washington Times columnist Tim Young tweeted.

Others were not in a joking mood over Graham’s comments, with author John Pavlovitz tweeting, “Donald Trump has always been both terrified of and beholden to Vladimir Putin. @LindseyGrahamSC and the rest of the red party are trying to revise history. To hell with that. You traitors have partnered with that murderous dictator for the past five years.”

Republican Ted Cruz was among the conservatives who slammed the tweet (via Yahoo!). “This is an exceptionally bad idea. Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves. But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state,” he responded.

Democrats also balked, with progressive whip Ilhan Omar tweeting, “I really wish our members of Congress would cool it and regulate their remarks as the administration works to avoid WWIII. As the world pays attention to how the US and it’s leaders are responding, Lindsey’s remarks and remarks made by some House members aren’t helpful.”
