Trump labels Graham publicity seeker

A war of words is heating up between President Trump and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina’s senior U-S senator.  In a morning tweet, Trump referred to Graham as a publicity seeker and denied Graham’s claim that Trump suggested that there’s a moral equivalency between people like the late Heather Heyer and the white supremacists and the neo-Nazis who attended the Charlottesville rally.  Graham has reacted this way:  “Mr. President, like most I seek to move our nation, my state, and our party forward – toward the light – not back into darkness.  Your tweet honoring Miss Heyer was very nice and appropriate.  Well done.  However, because of the manner in which you have handled the Charlottesville tragedy you are now receiving praise from some of the most racists and hate-filled individuals and groups in our country.  For the sake of our nation — as our President — please fix this.  History is watching us all.”
