Graham, in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, took aim at conservative efforts to “sugarcoat” the leak.
Her comments follow tweeted Greene on Thursday where he asked who the “real enemy” was among the suspects and the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine during the war with Russia.
“You cannot allow one person from the military intelligence community to leak classified information because they disagree with a policy,” Graham told Jon Karl.
“What you’re suggesting will undermine America’s ability to defend itself. It’s okay to release classified information based on your political views. The ends justify the means. It’s okay.”
Graham then announced that Greene had been “irresponsible” for shooting him.
He continued: “There is no justification for this – and for any member of Congress to suggest that the leak of classified information because you agree with the cause is irresponsible. And it puts America in serious danger.
Greene, there, later took the South Carolina Republican spoke by showing a photo of her doctor hold a Bud Light can that features Dylan Mulvaney’s face, a nod to conservative frustration over brand partnerships with influencers.
