Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham on Sunday called on Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to publicly disavow primary rival Donald Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants.

“I think it's not only incumbent upon the chairman, but anyone in a responsible position in in the Republican Party needs to say the following to the American people: 'We do not agree with Donald Trump when he says that most illegal immigrants are drug dealers and rapists,'” Graham said in an appearance on CNN's State of the Union.
