It usually happens in wildlife and in politics. A snake and a rat get into a fight.

Or, Tucker Carlson turns on Sen. Lindsey Graham.

On Wednesday night, Fox News Host bashed the South Carolina senator as a coward for not coming on his show, and the night before, Carlson labeled Graham a liar for his flip-flopping on the war in Afghanistan.

According to the Daily Beast, Carlson noted that the Republican senator runs to programs on the station that donโ€™t hold his feet to the flame like Sean Hannityโ€™s showโ€”which Graham appeared on Wednesdayโ€”to beg for money on his โ€œnever-ending fundraising tour.โ€

Carlson was also throwing shade at his Fox News partner in lies, Hannity, who has hosted Graham some 35 times this year.

From the Daily Beast:

Having already bashed Graham on Tuesday night for his hawkish support of the Afghanistan Warโ€”the senator again appeared on Hannityโ€™s show that eveningโ€”Carlson expanded his criticism of Grahamโ€™s Afghanistan record on Wednesday night.

Stating that one of the reasons why Americans were shocked at how quickly Kabul fell is due to Washington leaders falsely painting a rosy picture of the situation in Afghanistan, Carlson said Graham was โ€œone of the main mouthpieces for these lies.โ€

He then highlighted a series of Grahamโ€™s comments through the years, including the senator expressing support for the 2009 troop surge and claiming in 2011 that America was โ€œon the vergeโ€ of winning the war in Afghanistan as long as we didnโ€™t accelerate the withdrawal of troops from the region.

โ€œWe have a game plan in Afghanistan that I think justifies the expenditures of blood and treasure thatโ€™s about to come,โ€ Graham also said in 2009, prompting Carlson to respond rhetorically.

โ€œSo nowโ€™s the moment to ask, really, Lindsey Graham? What exactly was that โ€˜game planโ€™?โ€ Carlson wondered aloud. โ€œAnd at what point did you realize that it wasnโ€™t working? Well, if Graham ever knew that his plans were failing, somehow he forgot to mention it to the rest of the country.โ€

Carlson then smacked Graham around for avoiding his show and his willingness to pander to his audience for campaign money.

โ€œWeโ€™d love to know what Lindsey Graham thinks about that,โ€ Carlson declared. โ€œYou see him on television quite a bitโ€”all the timeโ€”on his never-ending fundraising tour. โ€˜Iโ€™m a conservative, send me money!โ€™ Itโ€™s political televangelism.โ€

He concluded: โ€œBut weirdly, Lindsey Graham wonโ€™t come on this show, and thatโ€™s a shame because it would be a worthwhile conversation for everyone. The invitation remains open.โ€

Carlson then took to Twitter to post a video clip of his monologue bashing Graham, but even more importantly, he noted that Graham has been โ€œlying for a long time.โ€

Much like a rat and snake fight, who cares who wins just as long as itโ€™s exciting?
