Graham said he was comfortable with Trump saying he would accept the results only if it was a “fair and legal and good election” during the CNN presidential debate last week. In his response on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Graham reacted to Trump’s remarks and praised Bash for the handling of the debate.
“You know, y’all did a good job. You let him talk. You’re not fact checkers; you let him talk,” he told Bash.

Translation: "I knowingly support a liar."
And here'sanother one:
Quote:North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum ®, rumored to be on former President Trump’s vice-presidential shortlist, defended the presumptive GOP nominee against criticism over the numerous falsehoods he told on the debate stage Thursday.
In an interview Sunday on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” Burgum called the story “manufactured,” noting Trump has said publicly in the past everything he said Thursday.
“I think that the whole manufactured thing this morning of that Donald Trump has said something that he hasn’t said before — I mean, everything that he said on Thursday night, he’s been saying before. I mean, so this is not news,” Burgum said.
Burgum was responding to a question on whether Trump should stop repeating false information, as he did on the debate stage Thursday. Burgum was also asked about a previous interview in which he said he never lies.
NBC News’s Kristen Welker pressed Burgum on the issue further, mentioning some false statements Trump made during the debate.
“Just to say a few, he said the Democrats want to kill infants after birth. That’s not true. He again lied about widespread fraud, not true. He lied about his comments after Charlottesville,” she said.
“Should he be truthful with the American people if he wants to lead this country, especially given what you just said, that you never lie? That’s your standard, governor,” Welker pressed before Burgum pivoted to criticizing Democrats’ positioning on abortion.
