HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) — Senator Lindsey Graham called Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, a “worthless piece of crap” on Monday.
He said in a Fox News interview that Martin, who hasn’t responded to The National News Desk’s request for comment, is “sick” for comparing the Trump administration to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s. Martin said in a social media post that President Donald Trump has exercised authoritarian power like Khamenei has.
“Number one, Ken Martin is a worthless piece of crap,” Graham began.
“To compare President Trump and the Trump regime to the ayatollah means you got the worst case of Trump derangement syndrome in the world,” the senator added. “Go to hell.”
Martin wrote in an X post on Sunday that protesters in Minneapolis, where a resident was shot to death by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and in Tehran, where demonstrations have taken place against the Khamenei regime, are “rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability.”
“In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms. Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good- demanding justice, transparency, and an end to an unchecked federal force that takes lives and tears families apart,” Martin said.
“Solidarity across borders means opposing authoritarian power everywhere and defending the right to live free from fear and state violence,” he added.
