Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) rejected critics who claim "you break it, you own it" after President Donald Trump ordered strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader."The new Iran, whatever it is, whether it's a cleric or a representative democracy, our goal is to make sure it cannot become, again, the largest state sponsor of terrorism," Graham told NBC's Kristen Welker on Sunday. "That's a win for us.""But is there a plan to make sure that happens, Senator?" Welker wondered. "Is there a plan? Does the president have a plan to guarantee that that happens?""No, it's not his job or my job to do this!" Graham snapped. "How many times do I have to tell you? Our job is to make sure Iran is no longer the largest state sponsor of terrorism to help the people reconstruct a new government, no boots on the ground.""We don't own, you know, this idea, you break it, you own it," he continued. "I don't buy that one bit. It's in America's interest to make sure the Ayatollah is dead. He's dead. It's in America's interest to make sure that Iran can no longer be the largest state-sponsored terrorism. We're close.""I'm going to focus on having Iran off the map as the largest state sponsor of terrorism and see if we can build a new mid-east," he added.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) set off a war of words on X late Saturday when she attempted to troll two of her colleagues in the House, both of whom are Muslims.Reacting to news that Iran’s Supreme Commander Ali Hosseini Khamenei was pronounced dead after a surprise US attack on his country, Mace posted a link to the Fox News report and wrote, “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers.”That led Rep. Omar, a frequent target of conservatives because of her faith, to fire back at the South Carolina lawmaker who has been the subject of accusations from former staffers of excessive drinking.“I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk,” she advised.She added, “I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for yourself.”Mace’s post drew other criticisms, with journalist Aaron Rupar responding, “Absolutely disgraceful. You should be ashamed of yourself.”“That is just disgusting,” replied Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall.
