Senator Darline Graham Defends Debate Performance on Hannity Amid Foreign Policy Questions
Senator Darline Graham explained her shaky debate answers about Taiwan and the South China Sea on Sean Hannity’s show, emphasizing honesty and domestic concerns.
During a recent Senate debate, Senator Darline Graham acknowledged she was not well-versed in national-security topics like Taiwan and the South China Sea, prompting boos from the audience. The following night she went on Sean Hannity’s program to respond, stressing her honesty and the feedback she received from constituents about everyday priorities such as sports, gun rights, and immigration. Graham reiterated her support for the military, called President Donald Trump a "wonderful" commander-in-chief, and affirmed the importance of standing with Israel while recognizing China as a threat.
Hannity attempted to defend her by noting her brother’s extensive work on foreign policy, implying she might have inherited knowledge of regions such as the Middle East and Europe. The appearance came ahead of her upcoming runoff election against Representative Ralph Norman.
