Rep. Ilhan Omar on Sen. Lindsey Graham: 'He is compromised' [View all]

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted on Wednesday night that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is “compromised,” but offered no evidence for that assertion.

“They got to him, he is compromised!” the Minnesota Democrat wrote on Twitter, as she retweeted a CNN clip from 2015 in which Graham was heavily critical of President Donald Trump. He has since emerged as a Trump ally on Capitol Hill.

Omar was not immediately available for comment. A spokeswoman for Graham did not immediately return a phone message.

In an interview on CNN Thursday morning, Omar called her tweet “just an opinion” but did not otherwise back down from it. “My tweet was just an opinion based on what I believe to be visible to me, and I’m pretty sure there are lots of Americans who agree on this,” Omar said on CNN.
