Thursday, in response to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) statement that he was very supportive of the Biden Administration’s decision to strike Yemen, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) harshly criticized Graham.
Although some of his own party members, including prominent House Democrats, condemned President Joe Biden’s decision to bomb Yemen, Biden still received strong support from a number of Republicans, including Graham.

Graham was promptly derided by Republicans on social media, including Gaetz, who noted that the ardent senator’s support for a military campaign in the region was not unexpected.
“Breaking News: Lindsey Graham supports another war in the Middle East.” Gaetz stated in a post on X.

Yemen is a rebel stronghold and should be wiped out! Gaetz is a dumb ass! Maybe a closet diaper head!
Gaetz and his fellow naysayers act like they were born yesterday. The only thing these Islamic terrorists understand is force. This is exactly what Trump would have done, only he would have done it long ago. When you show them timidity and weakness, it only encourages them to increase their terrorism. I’m surprised Biden had the guts to do it now. Remember: When Obama/Biden were in charge, Putin took Crimea and got away with it. When Trump came into power, Putin behaved himself because he knew Trump would make him pay the price. When Biden came back in, Putin knew he had a patsy to deal with and went into Ukraine. The only way to avoid another war in the Middle East is to stamp it out at the beginning, not wait until disaster strikes.
