Speaker 1: TUXI about.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini.
Speaker 1: Cast as we head into the midterm elections and Darlene
Speaker 1: Graham has her special election. We were talking earlier in
Speaker 1: the hour about her and Ralph Norman. They are down
Speaker 1: to the runoff and that's going to be on Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Ralph Norman endorsed by Nikki Haley. And then you've got
Speaker 1: Darlene Graham, who is endorsed by the Big One, by
Speaker 1: President Trump. And here is Darlene Graham speaking at the rally. She's,
Speaker 1: of course the sister of the late Lindsay Graham, who
Speaker 1: I absolutely adored, and here she is talking about President
Speaker 1: Trump and her dedication to service.
Speaker 3: See, you were one of his closest friends.
Speaker 2: I hope you know that, and you will.
Speaker 1: Forever be part of the Graham family.
Speaker 3: And I met with the President a few weeks ago
Speaker 3: in the Oval Office, and I left that office.
Speaker 2: Knowing that he is going to work.
Speaker 3: He works every single.
Speaker 2: Day, all day long, so hard for this country. It
Speaker 2: is amazing, and.
Speaker 3: Mister President, I am proud to stand with you to
Speaker 3: work hard for this country and to work for.
Speaker 4: This great state of South Carolina.
Speaker 1: I think every single day and of course there are
Speaker 1: some questions after the debate, a lot of people talking
Speaker 1: about this fumble from Darlene Graham when she was asked
Speaker 1: about Taiwan and foreign policy. Take a listen, this is
Speaker 1: what happened during the debate.
Speaker 4: Senator, Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security
Speaker 4: issues for the United States? If so?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?
Speaker 4: Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues
Speaker 4: for the United States? And if so, why or how?
Speaker 3: I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not on
Speaker 3: national security that I'm not that informed on national security.
Speaker 3: So I do support the military. My brother was in
Speaker 3: the Air Force for thirty three years, so I will
Speaker 3: do everything I can to support the military. My dad
Speaker 3: was in the Army. I'm not a polished politician up here.
Speaker 3: National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise.
Speaker 3: But I do support the military.
Speaker 4: Carson, I will give you a chance to respond.
Speaker 1: A lot of people said, WHOA, she didn't even kind
Speaker 1: of give a half answer there, just said that's not
Speaker 1: my area. Well, of course in the Senate, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got to focus obviously on domestic issues. Be foreign policy
Speaker 1: is a big issue. It certainly was a big issue
Speaker 1: for her brother. And today on the tarmac, President Trump
Speaker 1: try to clean that up for Darling Graham. Take a listen.
Speaker 1: That's national security.
Speaker 3: It's not her thing exactly.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 5: Oh, she was is being honest. She's very smart and
Speaker 5: she was being honest. I mean, she's into the price
Speaker 5: of groceries, the price of food, the price of beef,
Speaker 5: and it's not it hasn't been her thing. But she's
Speaker 5: surrounded by very good people. And she said that she's
Speaker 5: totally for the military. I mean she's going to do
Speaker 5: what the military wants and really what the president wants.
Speaker 5: She understands it. National security is by thing and she
Speaker 5: is a horrific woman who answered. I watched that. I
Speaker 5: thought it was a very honest answer.
Speaker 1: Actually, so will that honest answer be a plus or
Speaker 1: a minus for Darlene Graham
