Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) appeared on Wednesday’s Hannity to do a bit of damage control after committing a major gaffe during a Republican debate the night before.
Graham, who is the sister of former Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died in July, was appointed by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (R) to finish her brother’s term, which ends in January. Darline Graham decided to run for a full term and will face Rep. Ralph Norman in a runoff for the Republican nomination on Aug. 25.
During the debate, a moderator asked Graham if Taiwan and the South China Sea are “national security issues for the United States.”
“I’m just gonna be honest here,” Graham responded. “I’m not, on national security– I’m not that informed on national security, so– but I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military.”
Reaction to Graham’s debate gaffe was swift and negative.
“So this issue of Taiwan came up last night,” Hannity noted to Graham on Wednesday. “And I know people have made a big deal about it. And I’m like, I wonder how many people around the country, if I gave them a map, could pick out Taiwan. I don’t think many.”
After Hannity noted that many people who are not U.S. senators probably would be unable to identify Taiwan on a map, Graham admitted she “tripped up,” but said voters told her they appreciated her honesty.
“I tripped up on one question last night regarding Taiwan,” Graham replied. “But, you know, I have said many times, I’m not a politician. Certainly not a career politician. I don’t speak politician. I was just honest, and I think that’s kind of a foreign concept.”
Despite Graham stating flatly during the debate that she is “not that informed on national security,” Hannity told her that she knows “probably everything about the Middle East” and Ukraine, considering her brother’s numerous visits to the region:
To be fair, if people want to judge you on the South China Sea and Taiwan, ok, I think that’s fair. But I bet, based on all your time with your brother, that you know probably everything about the Middle East because he went on one trip after another to every country in the Middle East. And I know you know a lot about Europe and the Ukraine-Russia situation because he went to Ukraine more than any other senator.
