Hillary Clinton criticized her longtime Republican colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham, on Wednesday, saying it was like he had a brain snatch.
Clinton reflected on her frequent travels with Graham and the late Sen. John McCain, whom she said she admired and liked enormously, during her tenure as a New York senator.
Lindsey was good company, he was funny, he was self-deprecating, the former Secretary of State told Howard Stern on his morning radio show.
He also believed in climate change back in those days, she continued, taking aim at the Republican for toeing party lines in recent years. I saw him as somebody who, you know, had been working to try to figure out what he believed and how he could do things.
Has he sold his soul to the devil? Stern prodded.

However, I dont think it would be a good idea for Bill to do the same.

I dont know, Clinton responded. Thats a fair question, however.
I'll be honest with you, she continued. I haven't talked to him in a long time ... It's like he had a brain snatch, you know?
During her run against President Donald Trump in the 2016 campaign, Graham pegged Trump as a nutjob and a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot, predicting if the GOP nominated him, they would be destroyed and we will deserve it.
But Graham, McCains close friend in the Senate, transformed from one of Trumps sharpest Republican critics to a Trump loyalist, despite the Presidents public insults of McCain, including his denial of McCains status as a war hero because he was captured. ............................
