Speaking at the Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner, Senator Lindsey Graham did some riffing:
Happening now at the #WPCFDinner, Sen Graham in a "Make America Great Again" hat: pic.twitter.com/RZgRwu9NUp

Graham: If Rubio was president, the main job of the Secret Service would be to keep him hydrated. #wpcfdinner

Graham: Ben Carson is the nice guy in the race, and he tried to kill his cousin. #wpcfdinner

But Graham’s most controversial comment came as tried to describe how unpopular he says Ted Cruz is among his U.S. Senate colleagues:
"If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, no one would convict you." — Lindsey Graham (R-SC)

Seriously, Lindsey?
Graham got blasted for that “joke”:
Wow. Lindsay Graham showed his lack of character. No wonder no one wanted you for POTUS #GOPDebate @frankthorpNBC https://t.co/cru08WdFWH

@frankthorpNBC Sounds like an endorsement of #Cruz2016 to me… #CruzCrew

I'm not a supporter of Cruz, but Sen. Graham owes him and a lot of conservatives a massive apology. https://t.co/8yKIZeBAlG

This Senate won't even address treason. Why would anyone expect them to act on murder? https://t.co/V3jy5fa1YE
