Lindsey Graham\u2019s sister offered a bizarre excuse for her brainfart during a disastrous debate performance by insisting in another stammering public appearance: \u201cI don\u2019t speak politician.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Darline Graham, 62, was parachuted in with the backing of President Donald Trump to replace her late older sibling as a South Carolina senator after he died suddenly and unexpectedly last month at age 71.<\/p>\n

\n

But Graham may have to improve her knowledge of foreign affairs if she is successful in next Tuesday\u2019s Republican U.S. Senate runoff against her opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman. She was booed by the audience this Tuesday after admitting she was \u201cnot that informed on national security\u201d when questioned about Taiwan and the South China Sea, and instead leaned on her love of the military.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In an attempt to explain her lack of knowledge on the sensitive foreign policy issue, Graham went on Fox News\u2019 Hannity<\/i> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Stammering, she told host Sean Hannity: \u201cI, I, I tripped up on one question last night, uh, regarding Taiwan. But, you know, I\u2019ve said many times, I\u2019m not a politician, certainly not a career politician. I don\u2019t speak politician. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I was just honest, and I think that\u2019s kind of a foreign concept, but I talked to several people today. I traveled around the state, and they said, \u2018You know, we appreciated the fact that you were honest.\u2019 And I did say several times that, you know, China is, uh, our, our enemy, our military and economic threat to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cOf course, Taiwan is our friend, but I think people in South Carolina are more worried about making ends meet. They\u2019re concerned about boys and girls\u2019 sports. One lady talked to me extensively about that today. Uh, they\u2019re concerned about the Second Amendment. Um, they\u2019re concerned about the Save America Act, uh, illegal, illegal immigration. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo they\u2019re concerned about a lot of other things other than Taiwan.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hannity, 64, attempted to defend Graham by suggesting she would have learned about foreign affairs from her late brother, who made national security a central focus of his Senate career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bet, based on all your time with your brother, that you know probably everything about the Middle East,\u201d Hannity said. \u201cAnd I know you know a lot about Europe and the Ukraine-Russia situation, because he went to Ukraine more than any other senator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham replied that national security was important and called Trump, 80, a \u201cwonderful\u201d commander-in-chief. \u201cI know that we need to stand with Israel and the issues in Iran are serious,\u201d she said. \u201cI understand all that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she again pivoted to domestic policy and accused Norman, 73, of wanting to cut Social Security and create a pathway for undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n

Her appearance followed the debate flop first reported by the Daily Beast. Asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea presented national-security issues for the United States, Graham initially asked moderator Greta Van Susteren to repeat the question.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just going to be honest here… I\u2019m not that informed on national security,\u201d she eventually replied as the audience jeered. \u201cNational security is not my thing, not my area of expertise, but I support the military.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly, 55, subsequently branded the answer \u201cdisqualifying\u201d and said she was \u201cmortified\u201d by Graham\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n

Trump is now scheduled to campaign with his endorsed candidate at a Friday rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. <\/p>\n
