Lindsey Graham’s New Video: ‘How To Destroy Your Cell Phone’

Lindsey Graham’s New Video: ‘How To Destroy Your Cell Phone’

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is responding with good humor — and maybe seizing a political opportunity — after Donald Trump publicly gave out Graham’s phone number Tuesday.

Graham recorded a video with the conservative news site Independent Journal Review, in which the technologically old-school senator destroys his classic flip phones in a variety of ways: fire, a meat cleaver, a blender, a golf club, a cinderblock, dropping one from the top of a building — and most dramatically, with a wooden practice samurai sword.
