South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is just trying to keep it real.
Following a Monday speech at the Council of Foreign Relations, Graham was asked whether Republicans in Congress could partner with Democrats to deal with the issue of climate change. In response, the potential presidential candidate said that a bipartisan response to the problem would have to wait until his fellow Republicans agree that there was a problem in the first place.
