Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday blasted those that have defended Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who’s accused of leaking a trove of categorised details about the Pentagon and Russia’s warfare in opposition to Ukraine.
Mr. Graham mentioned feedback like these by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, and Fox News host Tucker Carlson justifying the safety breach fail to acknowledge the severity of the scenario.
“There are military members serving today from Georgia and other places who are less safe because of what this airman did,” the South Carolina Republican mentioned on ABC’s “This Week.” “There is no justification for this. And for any member of Congress to suggest it’s OK to leak classified information because you agree with the cause is terrible, irresponsible and puts America in serious danger.”
Ms. Greene tweeted final week that as a result of Mr. Teixeira, 21, “is white, male, christian, and anti-war,” it “makes him an enemy to the Biden regime.”
“Ask yourself who is the real enemy?” she tweeted. “A young low level national guardsmen [sic]? Or the administration that is waging war in Ukraine, a non-Nato nation, against nuclear Russia without war powers?”
Mr. Carlson mentioned Thursday throughout his present that “telling the truth is the only real sin” and that the media is “celebrating the capture of the kid who told Americans what’s actually happening in Ukraine.”
