What you're seeing is how easily those who are consumed with hatred and who worship their own "ideologies" (or the ones they're conned into thinking are their own) can be 'balkanized'.  Graham is a Republican.  Unlike many of his fellows, he occasionally slips up and tells the truth.  Which means that the extremists among his fellow "conservatives" turn and rend him like wolves attacking a carcass for the effrontery of expressing truths they don't like.  No wonder we're so easily manipulated.  We've just seen it again.  Trumpy the Clown gets a few points ahead in the polls, and he start schmoozing Vlad Putin and babbling about how 'neato-keeno' that little North Korean fat boy is.  Trumpy would march nude down New York's 7th avenue if that's what it took to get his erstwhile "opponent" into the White House.  As the great Malcolm X (rah'matullahi alayhi) said: "Ya been TOOK!  Ya been HOODWINKED!  Ya been HAD!"  And--Allah Forbid--we may well pay DEARLY for it...
