Lindsey Graham: Dem convention a 'hatefest full of insults'

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told CNN's Jake Tapper the Democratic National Convention was a "hatefest full of insults."

Graham appeared on State of the Union on Sunday, where Tapper portrayed the DNC as "disciplined" and focused on "convey[ing] patriotism and unity."

"You are as close to Donald Trump as anyone. Is what he saw this week making him in his campaign nervous at all?" Tapper asked.

"Well, I didn't see what you saw. If you are a Republican, you saw hatefest, you saw a hatefest full of insults," Graham told Tapper.

"Americans are not joyful when they go to the gas station and fill up their car," Graham added. "They're not joyful when they make their mortgage payment. They're not joyful when they go to the grocery store. People are hurting, and this whole joy, love fest doesn't exist in the real world."
