Sen. Lindsey Graham Added to Russia's 'Terrorists and Extremists' List
The designation comes after Graham blamed Putin for Alexei Navalny's death and called for Russia to be labeled a state sponsor of terrorism.
- Sen. Lindsey Graham has been designated as a 'terrorist' by Russia, following his public condemnation of Putin for the death of Alexei Navalny.
- Graham's addition to the list allows Russian authorities to freeze any of his bank accounts in the country, though it's unlikely he has any.
- The South Carolina senator responded humorously to the designation, joking about losing his rubles and reaffirming his stance against Russia.
- Graham has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine and has previously been targeted by Russia, including a warrant for his arrest issued last May.
- The Biden administration has announced new sanctions against Russia in response to Navalny's death, further escalating tensions between the two nations.
