Senator Lindsey Graham posted a series of statements on September 16, 2025, addressing foreign policy, national security, and domestic crime legislation. The tweets focused on urging European action against China’s support for Russia, highlighting concerns about Hezbollah’s activities in the United States, and advocating for changes to criminal justice laws in Washington D.C.
In his first post at 17:04 UTC, Graham stated: “It is imperative that Europe follows President @realDonaldTrump’s lead in delivering real consequences to China for financially backing the Putin war machine by purchasing cheap Russian oil. President Trump is ready to levy tariffs on China and he is right to expect Europe to”.
Later that evening at 19:53 UTC, Graham shared a video clip regarding terrorist threats: “WATCH: @FBIDirectorKash confirms that Hezbollah – a terrorist organization – is a direct threat to the United States and is involved in narco-terrorism. https://t.co/SS60A4jExO”.
At 20:35 UTC on the same day, Graham addressed criminal justice reform in Washington D.C.: “Repealing these foolish, soft-on-crime laws is an important step in Making DC Safe Again. Our work on this legislation would ensure that violent criminals are not set free early solely based on age. This reckless practice needs to end now. https://t.co/6RFubbZopx”.
Lindsey Graham serves as a U.S. Senator from South Carolina and has been an outspoken advocate for strong national security measures and tough-on-crime policies throughout his career. His recent posts reflect ongoing debates within Congress over U.S.-China relations amid global tensions involving Russia’s actions in Ukraine; efforts by federal agencies to counter terrorism threats; and legislative initiatives targeting crime rates in major American cities.
