In a series of blistering rebukes, Megyn Kelly has repeatedly targeted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) for his aggressive foreign policy stance and his proximity to President Donald Trump during escalating international conflicts.
The SiriusXM radio host has used her platform on "The Megyn Kelly Show" and social media to condemn Graham’s rhetoric regarding military actions in Iran, Lebanon and Cuba.
Kelly lashed out at Graham, blaming him for pushing the U.S. into a conflict with Iran.

Megyn Kelly went off on Senator Lindsey Graham on X.
'When Did Lindsey Graham Become Our President?'
Megyn Kelly called the senator a 'homicidal maniac.'
“This guy is a homicidal maniac with a bloodlust that is insatiable,” she said. “He got us into the Iranian war, Lindsey Graham. Now he wants us to get involved in a Lebanese war, which Israel is already starting or involved in, and he wants us to go into Cuba from the sound of it, possibly.”
Reacting to Graham’s media appearances where he suggested mutual defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and military strikes in Lebanon, Kelly asked on X, “When did Lindsay Graham become our president? In the past 24 hours, he’s threatened Lebanon, Cuba, the Saudis, the wider Arab region, and now – checks notes – Spain.”
Kelly wasn’t finished taking down the South Carolina senator.
'Homicidal Maniac'
Megyn Kelly claims Donald Trump is 'listening' to the senator.
“Let’s get real. The problem with Lindsay Graham isn’t (just) that he’s a homicidal maniac, it’s that Trump likes and is listening to him, and Trump’s favorite channel is parading him around like a Hefner bunny in stockings on every show,” she added.
Kelly, along with Meghan McCain, whose late father, Sen. John McCain, was very close with Lindsey, has repeatedly begged the president to keep Lindsey "the h--- away from him," stating he should not be allowed within 20 feet of the president's inner circle.
After Lindsey declared he would be "with Israel until my dying day," Megyn told South Carolinians that their senator was explicitly telling them he was not "with them.”
