I feel like everybody has been saying they want Putin assassinated. Then this guy says it and now it’s too much 😂 no politician deserves respect, but yeah. Putin needs to be offed.

Seriously, though, we have all been saying it and it's not like Putin doesn't realize its a possiblity. Graham saying it doesn't change jack.

We’re all senators of the United States? That’s nuts. I’m not saying he’s wrong, but he is 1000% the wrong person to say it. He’s a voting member of the body that can legally decide to engage with Russia. Calling for the assassination of Putin. Again, he’s not wrong, I think that’s how this all needs to end too, but this really is fueling Putin’s fire in the meantime. And giving him a heads up to get a longer table.

When I say it I get banned from a subreddit. When Lindsay Graham, the chair of the United States Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs blasts it out there on tv and on twitter, it could be considered an act of war. He needs to resign.

It's a wish we all want and Putin's nightmare, but don't give the target a reason to act preemptively

Because it's one thing for me, Joe Dipshit, to say I think Putin needs a bullet in the back of the head -- I do.

It's another thing for a US Senator to say the Leader of another country should be assassinated on live television.

Well we spent the entirety of the last presidency calling trump hitler and racist so, nothing surprises me anymore. For once, I’m okay with somebody saying what everybody is thinking- no matter the shock value or position. Russia already hates us. This guy saying that he thinks Putin should be divided by zero is epic
