Lindsey Graham's Revenge Against Donald Trump For Cell Phone Blast

  • by: Alan Duke

You've got to have a sense of humor to survive as a Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 campaign. Otherwise Donald Trump's attacks might drive you crazy and right out of the race for the nomination. Lindsey Graham proves he can take and give a joke in a video identified as hot by Lead Stories' Trendolizer.

It started when Graham called Trump a "jackass" for his attack on John McCain in which he suggested the senator and former Vietnam War POW was no hero. Trump retaliated by showing the South Carolina senator's private cell phone number during a news conference.

Although Graham's voice mail was quickly overloaded, he quickly rose to near the top among the 22 major presidential candidates in audience interest on social networks, as measured by Trendolizer.

Graham now stars in a viral video titled "How to Destroy Your Cell Phone With Sen. Lindsey Graham." It was produced by IJReview -- a website that bills itself as "a news, politics & culture forum for everyday Americans who need to know what is fun and important now. "

Graham demonstrates several ways to destroy a flip phone. "This is for all the veterans," Graham said before hurling his Samsung phone away.
