Lindsey Graham destroys his phone on YouTube after number leaked by Donald Trump
Feud between presidential candidates heats up as senator sets phone on fire in YouTube video
If you are wondering why South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham hasn't returned your call, this might be the reason.
In a YouTube video released Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. politician and Republican presidential candidate was seen demolishing his flip phone in a myriad of creative ways, from setting the phone on fire with lighter fluid to dropping it in a blender, Will-it-Blend-style.
The video marks the latest chapter in an ongoing feud between billionaire and reality TV star Donald Trump and other candidates for the Republican presidential nomination.
It was released a day after Trump revealed Graham's personal phone number during a campaign event, a response to Graham calling Trump "the world's biggest jackass."
Graham ended his video by saying, "This is for all the veterans," a jab at Trump's much-criticized remark about veteran and senator John McCain's captivity in Vietnam.
The video, released by American news site Independent Review Journal, quickly earned online praise and, not surprisingly, inspired its own meme.
