This morning Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham defended President Trump's vow to respond to North Korean government threats "with fire and fury like the world has never seen" by saying that Trump "is going to pick homeland defense over regional stability and he has to. ... We've failed for 30 years, it's time to try something new."

Democrats blasted Trump's remarks, calling them unhinged and dangerous.
