GOP senator praises current FBI Director Christopher Wray, calls Putin a ‘tyrant’
In a rare show of bipartisanship, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has come out in praise of current FBI Director Christopher Wray, while also condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “tyrant.”
During a recent interview on Fox News, Senator Graham commended Wray for his leadership of the FBI, saying that he has done a “good job” in restoring the reputation of the bureau. This praise comes at a time when the FBI has faced criticism from President Trump and some Republicans for its handling of the Russia investigation.
In addition to praising Wray, Senator Graham did not hold back in his criticism of Putin, calling him a “tyrant” and a “thug.” He went on to say that the Russian leader cannot be trusted and that the United States must stand firm against Russian aggression.
Senator Graham’s comments come as tensions between the US and Russia continue to simmer, with the two countries at odds over a number of issues, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and Russia’s meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
Graham’s remarks serve as a reminder that, despite the political divisions in Washington, there are still politicians willing to speak out against foreign adversaries and show support for government officials who are working to protect the country’s interests.
It is refreshing to see a Republican senator like Lindsey Graham speak out in support of the FBI and against Russian aggression. In a time of heightened political polarization, it is important for lawmakers to put aside partisan differences and come together to defend the values and principles that make America great.
