Graham focuses on Israel, foreign policy in campaign launch
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“To our friends in Israel, I will never abandon you. I will always stand firm in supporting the one and only Jewish state,” tweets Sen. Graham, only minutes after officially launching his presidential campaign.
“Our ally Israel is at risk as a result of Obama’s failed leadership. We share values, we share democracy, & our friendship is unbreakable,” reads the following tweet.
Graham devotes a lot of attention to the Jewish state in a series of tweets upon launching his campaign. He also emphasizes US foreign policy:
Our allies feel the absence of America’s leadership. Our adversaries are taking advantage. American weakness anywhere hurts us everywhere.

The most powerful weapon in our arsenal isn’t a gun. It’s an idea. Terrorists are selling a glorious death. We must sell a hopeful life.
