 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Lindsey Graham offered a striking rebuke of right-wing entertainer and movement last week.

To FoxNews’ Bret Baier, the Republican senator from South Carolina said that Glenn Beck speaks for himself, not the Republican Party.

“I’m not saying he’s bad for America,” Graham said. “You’ve got the freedom to watch him if you choose. What I am saying [is] he doesn’t represent the Republican Party.”

Graham went on Baier’s show to answer for his comments about Beck at the Washington Ideas Forum.

“Only in America can you make that much money crying,” he said.

The Republican also denounced as “crazy” the so-called “birther” movement that maintains that President Barak Obama is no citizens of the United States.
