Lindsey Graham voiced support for Donald Trump’s Iran diplomacy while urging him to wind down the war and pursue a peace deal. Graham’s vacation during the government shutdown drew online criticism, and California Congressman Robert Garcia was also photographed away from Washington.
Graham said he supports diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran. After Trump described discussions about ending U.S. military operations and threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure if no deal was reached and the Strait of Hormuz remained closed, Graham reposted Trump’s message and urged him to pursue a historic peace deal. Graham also praised Trump’s leadership in addressing Iran.
Graham’s Disney World vacation drew online criticism, including calls for his retirement, while critics argued elected officials should be working to resolve the shutdown. Separately, Robert Garcia was photographed at a Las Vegas casino during spring break; he said on social media that he had been visiting his father.
