Graham to Colleagues: 'If You're Counting On The President To Have Your Back, You Need To Watch It'

Monday, MSNBC’s Garrett Haake asked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) about Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare in both the House and Senate.

Graham had a warning for his colleagues in the Senate, which was if they expected President Donald Trump to have their back, they needed “to watch it.”

Graham said, “Here’s what I would tell any senator, if you’re counting on the president to have your back, you need to watch it. Here’s what I told the House guys, you need to understand the Senate’s a different animal. I don’t think the House bill was mean. I’m not so sure it was as well constructed as it could have been. Our bill is a bit better. It saves more money, and I think in many ways it has a softer transition.”
