Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Lindsey Graham Launches GOP Presidential Bid

HeadlineJun 02, 2015

On the campaign trail in the United States, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has entered the presidential race. Graham launched his campaign Monday with a warning about “radical Islam … running wild.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “The world is exploding in terror and violence, but the biggest threat of all is the nuclear ambitions of the radical Islamists who control Iran. Ladies and gentlemen, there are no moderates in Iran running their government.”

Senator Lindsey Graham’s campaign launch comes just days after fellow Republican presidential hopeful Senator Rand Paul blamed Graham and other “hawks” in the GOP for the existence of the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
