South Carolina senator and noted dreamboat Lindsey Graham poked fun at House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi’s appearance on Tuesday, delivering the sexist jab following Pelosi’s criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s congressional address this morning.
While Netanyahu’s criticisms of the multilateral negotiations aimed at curtailing Iran’s nuclear program met with roaring Republican applause, Pelosi and other Democrats declined to clap at certain points, as when Netanyahu urged Congress to block a nuclear deal. Pelosi later issued a statement in which she said that she was “near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech — saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.”
