WASHINGTON, DC (WOLO) – President Donald Trump has aimed his Twitter tweets toward Republicans who criticized him over his comments about last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. South Carolina’s US Senator Lindsey Graham found himself at the other end.

Thursday (8/17) morning the President tweeted, “Publicity seeking Lindsey Graham falsely stated that I said there is moral equivalency between the KKK, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists and people like Ms. Heyer. Such a disgusting lie. He just can’t forget his election trouncing. The people of South Carolina will remember.”

Senator Graham responded on Twitter saying, “Mr. President, like most I seek to move our nation, my state, and our party forward – toward the light – not back to the darkness. Your tweet honoring Miss Heyer was very nice and appropriate. Well done. However, because of the manner in which you have handled the Charlottesville tragedy you are now receiving praise from some of the most racist and hate-filled individuals and groups in our country. For the sake of our nation — as our President — please fix this. History is watching us all.”
