Donald Trump gave out Lindsey Graham’s cell phone number during a speech Tuesday in South Carolina in response to criticism he received from the U.S. Senator and fellow Republican presidential candidate.
The speech was being televised live on CNN and elsewhere.
The number, 202-228-0292, goes straight to a voicemail that says Graham is not available.
Trump says Graham called him three or four years ago and asked if he could call Fox and Friends and give them a good reference. Trump said he found the card that Graham gave him, with the Senator’s cell phone number on it. Trump then read the number to the crowd (watch the video above). Trump told those in the crowd to try calling the number.
“I don’t know, give it a shot,” Trump tells the crowd. “Your location politician. He won’t fix anything, but at least he’ll talk to you.”
Trump also called Graham a “stiff” and pointed out that he is polling at 0 in GOP primary polls:

Trump was responding to comments made by Graham, who said Trump should stay in the race, but stop being a “jackass”:
Politico reporter Nick Gass talked to Graham, before he apparently shut his phone off.
“I wonder what caused that,” Graham told Gass. “When it comes to the Donald, nothing surprises me anymore,” he said. “It’s just too bad, really,”
Trump has been exchanging verbal blows with his fellow Republican candidates since he entered the race, and took heat over the weekend for saying that Arizona Senator John McCain is not a war hero.
