WASHNGTON _ Lindsey Graham laughingly says his sudden embrace of Rand Paul is a sign of what the Bible calls "end times." Rand Paul jokes that their mind meld first needed couples' counseling.
Long at odds when it comes to foreign policy, the South Carolina and Kentucky Republicans have discovered rare common ground: fury over the role of Saudi Arabia's crown prince in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and frustration with the Trump administration's support for the kingdom.
The White House allies represent the hawkish and non-interventionist poles of the Republican Party. Just this summer Paul said Graham was "a danger" for leaving the door open to potential use of military force against North Korea. Graham shot back, "There is no threat to America that Senator Paul will not retreat from."
