Lindsey Graham lauds Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit but says he was 'hard on China before it was cool'

Lindsey Graham commented on Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, saying he was "hard on China before it was cool."

The comments were made by Graham during an appearance on the Fox News program.

According to the senator, Pelosi is experiencing how being hard on China can boost one's popularity, and that every American hates China's guts.

They ruined our lives for a while. According to Graham, the coronaviruses originated from a wet market or a biological lab in China.

Right now, it's very fashionable to be hard on China. Graham said that he was hard on China before it became cool.

Graham applauded Pelosi's visit.

He said he was happy she went. The idea of her going to Taiwan is a good thing because the Chinese Communist Party is against freedom of democracy.

25 Senate Republicans issued a statement in support of the Speaker's trip to Taiwan, but Graham was not one of them.

A delegation of six US lawmakers traveled to Taiwan in defiance of threats from China.

The Chinese government demanded that the US stop all forms of official interactions with Taiwan after Graham's visit.

Pelosi avoided flying over the South China Sea by taking a roundabout route from Malaysia. She is the highest-ranking lawmaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years, despite threats from China.

During her meeting with the Taiwanese President on Wednesday morning, she reiterated the US' commitment to democracy in Taiwan.
