Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said his personal relationship with President Biden soured after the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan.

According to the South Carolina senator, Biden has been “the most consistently wrong man on foreign policy in my lifetime,” adding, “he's acted in a very dishonorable way.”

“I’ve known Joe Biden for a long time, I had a good personal relationship with him. He’s a decent man,” Graham told Fox News. “But what he did in Afghanistan I will never forgive him for, he has blood on his hands, and he’s made America less safe.”

“I can't wait until the next election to stop this socialist train on the domestic side, and have a chance to get a commander in chief that knows how to keep this country safe,” Graham added.

Graham and Biden have known each other for years and the two served in the Senate together. However, their relationship has become frayed since the President referred to Graham as “a personal disappointment” when asked about their relationship, The Hill reported.  

In a 2015 interview, Graham lauded the then-vice president, calling him “the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics” and “as good a man as God ever created.”

Over the summer, however, Graham called for Biden to be impeached over the withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying the president “ignored sound advice” and has “been this way for 40 years.”
