Darline Graham Defends Debate Answer After Taiwan Question Stumble

Fox News Lindsey Graham’s sister offered a bizarre excuse for her brainfart during a disastrous debate performance by insisting in another stammering public appearance: “I don’t speak politician.” Sen.

Darline Graham, 62, was parachuted in with the backing of President Donald Trump to replace her late older sibling as a South Carolina senator after he died suddenly and unexpectedly last month at age 71.

But Graham may have to improve her knowledge of foreign affairs if she is successful in next Tuesday’s Republican U.S.

Senate runoff against her opponent, Rep.

Ralph Norman.

She was booed by the audience this Tuesday after admitting she was “not that informed on national security” when questioned about Taiwan and the South China Sea, and instead leaned on her love of the military.

In an attempt to explain her lack of knowledge on the sensitive foreign policy issue, Graham went on Fox News’ Hannity on Wednesday night.

Stammering, she told host Sean Hannity: “I, I, I tripped up on one question last night, uh, regarding Taiwan.

But, you know, I’ve said many times, I’m not a politician, certainly not a career politician.

I don’t speak politician.

“You know, I was just honest, and I think that’s kind of a foreign concept, but I talked to several people today.

I traveled around the state, and they said, ‘You know, we appreciated the fact that you were honest.’ And I did say several times that, you know, China is, uh, our, our enemy, our military and economic threat to the United States.” She added: “Of course, Taiwan is our friend, but I think people in South Carolina are more worried about making ends meet.

They’re concerned about boys and girls’ sports.

One lady talked to me extensively about that today.
