Donald Trump early Monday unloaded on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), saying his former rival for the GOP presidential nomination should respect him.
{mosads}Graham, who suspended his own presidential campaign last December, has been a top critic of Trump throughout the 2016 race.
Graham in recent interviews has urged voters to rally around Ted Cruz in the 2016 race, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that Cruz as “made the best case” that he can beat Trump.
Trump on Monday also linked Graham to 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who last week blasted Trump as a “phony.” Trump said both Romney and Graham are “failed” candidates with no credibility.
