U.S. lawmakers from both sides of the aisle in Congress are criticizing Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) tweet suggesting that someone in Russia should assassinate the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?“ Graham said in a March 3 tweet. ”The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country—and the world—a great service.”
