"Yeah, I'd make China pay big time. And here's the question for 2020: Who do you want to take on China? Trump or Joe Biden? I don't think that would be a hard decision for most people."Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Graham is not the only Republican lawmaker to have argued that China should pay for the COVID-19 pandemic.

And who shall we send the bill for the Oval Office ignoring all the intel about covid 19 submitted months ago? And 45’s never ending golf game? STFD u twit

Just like Mexico will pay for the wall and China pays out tariffs...

Come-on now...how old are we?! Did you not pay attention when it was happening IN China? We had time to prepare...oh yeah, we forgot because you and our lovely leadership team thought it was a hoax...🙄 Really

And how’s that whole “Mexico will pay for the wall” crusade going LindseyGraham? Although now Mexico might want a wall to keep COVID19 out from US! LeningradLindsey Vote harrisonjaime

Remove this Clown.

Sure, Linds. Let’s send China a bill. Then they call in all their loans, and before you know it you’re back to pulling tricks behind the capital building again.

Lindsey needs a bill. He knew. Does he know people with Novartis stock?

Yes send the bill as fast as you can!!

He is the type that would invite family over for Thanksgiving and give everyone a check for the meal to pay before leaving

Give your head a shake.

It’s always about money with these assholes.

Doesn’t China pretty much own us already?

LindseyGrahamSC You need lots of art for your faked rage.

What an idiot! What does he say the American people can do to Trump for his mishandling of the situation?

grow up, this is not the time

Send it to trump — he’s a “billionaire.” TheTrumpVirus

Blame China and not the clown in charge that did nothing about it when he was told. Letting the USA pass the China numbers and death. 🤔

Lindsey has become a useless human being

Maybe the native American community should do the same. Send the bill to Washington DC. Denial and blame will do nothing.

And the first Americans could send a bill to our government for smallpox...

Can we send Lindsey a bill for the damage he’s done to America by kowtowing to Trump and the GOP? Asking for ten-thousand plus families.

Right after we send the GOP the bill for Trump's swath of destruction.

Send them the bill, don't mean they going to pay it. Yet another political stunt

Great. The rest of the world can send America one, for producing more pollution per capital than anyone.

Amen to that!!

Wait....up until it was blowing up in your face you were calling it a hoax. Had you known earlier, you would have just called it a hoax longer. Would have been no change in your actions. Fools!!

But Trump says China is paying so much thanks to his tariffs, LindseyGrahamSC. TrumpLiesAmericansDie

idiot

Yup, he’s right. Hold them accountable

Anyone believe it was their doing?

No. We are going to sue FoxNews and realDonaldTrump instead.

And to Trump for golf.

Here we are with yet another bran of GOP stupid.

The same way Mexico paid for the wall? 😂🤪🤣 pendejo

Maybe the world would appreciate his advise to be more for the GOP in removing Trump from office

Whatever. I want to send Republicans a bill for their slow response to this emergency. Where are the tests and PPE? Where are the tests and PPE?

America failed to mitigate its losses.

Graham the master of talking bollocks,

Is USA willing to pay for its damage? Much of it intentional as well as accidental/negligent.

Why would miss LindseyGrahamSC say that? He knows damn well realDonaldTrump ignored the warnings for 3 months. THAT allowed this deadly virus to spread so quickly. Over 10000 dead innocent Americans because trump & the lap dogs care more about power than the American people.

Diversion

Why it started here last summer?

And Mexico will pay for it!

So they'll call their loans to pay it. What happens then? 🤔

Did the world bill the US for what was later labelled Spanish Flu?

$10 trillion for the U.S. might do it.

Prior to that the world should send US the bill for financial crisis caused by subprime mortgage..

You don't want to start this game. Everyone owes a bill to somebody. The United States would have some checks to write.

Just put it on the shelf next to the bill for Mexico Mexico paying for the wall

POTUS failed to take COVID19 seriously and protect USA 🇺🇸 he knew what was going on in China and did nothing to protect us. The Govt is responsible to pay the bill under the Federal Tort Claim Act. FTCA I’m sure they will pass a bill giving themselves sovereign immunity

Newsweek : Amen ///

Still deflecting.

Only if we can sue the American government for their slow call to action. There appears to be no bounds to Mr Graham’s squirrel hunting

So then it IS ok for us to bill America for slavery?

Brainless

China will laugh at this idiot. Doesn’t he know we are in debt with China? How stupid he is

says the 5 year old .......

What a fool!!

Using Lindsey Graham’s logic, then the world should send the U.S. the bills for Spanish flu because it was originated in Kansas. What an Idiot!

Crazy and stupid utterances by senator Graham. Now what if origin of this Covid 19 lead us to United States? Who should pay the bill?

You and Trump had 3 months to prepare and did little, rejected tests from WHO, refused to believe what the head of China’s CDC told you. No amount of bluster will expunge the thousands of unnecessary deaths you contributed to by inaction.

Well... what’s the address ?

Lets just send them Lindsay Graham and see why they say.

Sure, but Americans would like to have a succinct total from you Lindsey Graham before we submit it. Plus, we need for you to supply us with a name and address for submitting this bill. THIS IS A BILL FOR TRUMP TO WORK OUT NOT THE U. S.!!!

Lindsay Graham becomes less relevant as each day passes. He is wheeled out on Fox every day for a useless sound bite to help his election chances.

He’s as dumb as the president.

China would say: Lol, no supplies for you!

Oh! Sure! That'll help! What an idiotic solution.
