Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is continuing to come under withering criticism for repeatedly calling for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin and international relations experts claim his statements are putting the U.S. at risk.
According to a report from USA Today, the South Carolina Republican's comments on Fox News combined with his tweets, including one where he wrote "The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country – and the world – a great service," has Russia experts warning him to walk back his assassination threat which even Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) has called, "an exceptionally bad idea."
