When current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump said Sen. John McCain is "not a war hero," fellow candidate and close friend of McCain, Sen. Lindsey Graham went on CBS to tell Trump to "stop being a jackass." Trump responded by giving out Graham's personal cell phone number during a televised speech, and calling him a "lightweight” and an "idiot" for good measure.
After receiving a flood of calls, Graham tweeted "Probably getting a new phone. iPhone or Android?"
The website IJ Review, known as a conservative launch pad for viral videos, quickly partnered with Graham on "How to Destroy Your Cell Phone With Sen. Lindsey Graham."
We see Graham, in slow motion, hack his old phone with a meat clever, drop it in a blender with Red Bull, swat it with a golf club, set it on fire with lighter fluid, cook it in a toaster oven with pizza bagels, smash it with a cement block and throw it off of a roof.
Then Graham says, "and if all else fails, you can always give your number to The Donald."
Graham ends with one final dig, "This is for all the veterans," as he throws his phone away.
With the first debate two weeks away, Graham can only hope his stab at comedy will help spark a big enough poll bump to get him in the debate, and a chance to tussle with Trump face-to-face.
