Lindsey Graham echoes Sean Hannity’s call for Putin to be assassinated [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Sen. Lindsey Graham has called on Russians to assassinate Vladimir Putin, Julius Caesar-style.
- “Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham tweeted.
- Fox News host Sean Hannity also called for Putin to be assassinated.
Senator Lindsey Graham has called for ‘somebody in Russia’ to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, Julius Caesar-style.
“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham tweeted Friday.
The Republican senator was referring to Brutus, a historical character who assassinated Julius Caesar, and Claus von Stauffenberg, an army officer who attempted to kill Adolf Hitler.
“The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country — and the world — a great service,” Graham tweeted.
In a separate tweet in the same Twitter chain on March 4, Graham said “the only people who can fix this are the Russian people.”
“Easy to say, hard to do. Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate,” Graham wrote.
Graham is not the first American figure to call for Putin’s assassination following Russia’s launch of an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Fox News host Sean Hannity floated the idea that Putin should be assassinated during Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, “The Sean Hannity Show.”
“What we really need in this crisis, more than anything else, is a worldwide condemnation,” Hannity said.
“Now currently the U.S. operates under a decades-old executive order signed by [former President] Gerald Ford that prohibits the U.S. government employees from engaging in political assassinations,” Hannity added.
“And I’m like, ‘You cut the head of the snake off and you kill the snake. Right now the snake is Vladimir Putin,” the conservative host said.
Some Russians, too, have advocated for a regime change in their homeland. Businessman and US-based crypto investor Alex Konanykhin put a $1 million bounty on Putin’s head this week, calling for military officers to arrest him as a war criminal.

The Russian government s up in arms over Graham’s call to assassinate a head of State. Not going to happen. Putin’s Security Force is larger than Lying Corrupt Quid Pro’s Secret Service. Putin’s personal Security force consists of 4000 men/women. Graham just went on step further than corrupt Quid Pro. corrupt Quid Pro called Putin a murderer. Besides being a dictator, Putin most definitely is committing murder, by having his troops intentionally bombing Ukrainian civilians, that makes Putin a murderer and a war criminal. Now if Hannity called for corrupt Quid Pro to be assassinated, within 5 minutes , he would be getting a visit from the SS at the Fox Studio. that’s one way to get rid of Corrupt quid Pro, either resign, use the 25th Amendment or otherwise.
About the only people that would shed a tear for Corrupt Quid pro are the liberal commie Democrats.

I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYTHING that I am being force-fed through CBS, Fox, ABC, MSDNC, PBS, WH, et al. In fact, whenever I see their concerted efforts to push ANY single “common sense consequence,” I KNOW I am being lied to. NOT that I know the truth, just that ‘they’ are terrified that I might be told it somehow. I LOVE my Country, BUT MY CONSTITUTION forms my country, NOT any government.
