The National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), a Washington based organization considered by many as the Iranian regime’s lobby in the US, has launched a campaign against Senator Lindsey Graham accusing him of racist remarks against Iranians. In a speech on May 22, Senator Graham allegedly called Iranians “liars”, according to NIAC. However, upon a closer look Graham never made such a statement, his actual quote as seen on the video was “I met a lot of liars, and I know the Iranians are lying.” NIAC attempted to spin the statement as being directed towards all Iranians, however in this context it appears that Graham was in fact referring to the Iranian regime, and not Iranian people.
