'Deranged' and 'problematic': Bipartisan lawmakers bash Trump's Gaza proposal

(NBC News) Criticism and concern spread across both sides of the aisle Tuesday night after President Donald Trump announced that the United States “will take over the Gaza Strip.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called the proposal “problematic,” adding that he does not think his constituents would be excited about sending U.S. soldiers to take control of Gaza.

“We’ll see what the Arab world says, but you know, that’d be problematic at many, many levels,” Graham said.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., slammed the proposal as “deranged” and “nuts,” calling U.S. military presence in the region “a magnet for trouble.”

Wow, I'm surprised that he didn't add: "Sorry my lord." or something similar. I love what Senator Tim Kaine said, TSF is certainly deranged and nuts.
