South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham may be getting plenty of angry texts and cell phone calls from those in the online gambling world as fellow Republican candidate for US President Donald Trump gave out Graham’s number during a gathering in the Palmetto State early Tuesday.
Graham is the co-author of a bill that would ban most forms of Web gambling at the federal level, Restore America’s Wire Act or RAWA for short. That legislation is the brainchild of casino billionaire and GOP mega donor Sheldon Adelson. Critics of the measure say Graham is doing Adelson’s bidding in an effort to raise large sums of money for his Presidential run. Thus far, as Trump pointed out during his morning rally, the South Carolina Senator is registering at zero in the polls.
Trump’s war of words with Graham comes a day after the Senator called the real estate magnate a “jackass” for suggesting Arizona Senator John McCain was “not a war hero”.
Trump fought back Tuesday. In addition to offering Graham’s personal cell phone number, Trump also referred to him as a “lightweight” and “idiot” who once called the real estate tycoon “begging” him for a good reference with his friends on the Fox News morning program “Fox & Friends.”
