Failed Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) spoke at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner Thursday evening where he attacked his party and fellow Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) who remains in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

“Sen Graham at the #WPCFDinner: “If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial is at the Senate, no one will convict you.“
Remarks like these are why Graham is a favorite of the Washington press corps, but not Republican presidential primary voters.
UPDATE: Graham’s Communications Director Kevin Bishop defended his boss on Twitter.

Bishop included a link to a tweet with a photo of Graham at the dinner donning a Trump ‘Make America Great Again’ hat with the caption, “[email protected] says he has presidential curse, dons “Make America Great” hat and endorses @realDonaldTrump”
