Darline Graham Just Made Her Disastrous Foreign Policy Gaffe Worse

South Carolina Senator Darline Graham has a baffling excuse for her humiliating debate performance—spoiler alert: It involves transgender athletes!

Speaking on Fox News’s Sean Hannity Show Wednesday, Graham explained the shocking moment she https://newrepublic.com/post/214497/darline-graham-implodes-debate-national-security" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">admitted she was “not informed on national security,” when asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea were national security issues for the United States.

“You know, I tripped up on one question last night 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,” she https://x.com/Acyn/status/2090247538859499654?s=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said. “You know I was just honest, and I think that’s kind of a foreign concept.”

It’s true that a wise woman knows herself to be a fool—but Graham’s foolishness wasn’t finished.

“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 in girls’ sports,” she https://x.com/Acyn/status/2090247538859499654?s=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">added.

It would be surprising if people in South Carolina really felt that way—considering the state passed a law banning transgender students from playing on girls’ or women’s sports teams https://www.npr.org/2022/05/17/1099501287/south-carolina-trans-transgender-sports-ban" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">four years ago.

The conservative-majority Supreme Court recently https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article316327244.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">upheld similar rules in two other states, cementing the status of South Carolina’s transgender athlete ban.

She added that South Carolinians were more concerned about the second amendment, the SAVE America Act, and illegal immigration, “so they’re concerned about a lot of things other than Taiwan.”

Crucially, if Graham can’t answer simple questions about national security, she has no business being on that debate stage.

She also has no business representing South Carolina, for in the same debate, Graham also https://x.com/RalphNormanFan/status/2089874772981067872" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">claimed that there were 50 million people living in South Carolina.

There are only 5.6 million.
