UPDATE: Lindsey Graham responded to Trump in a statement Tuesday afternoon, saying that Trump “continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander-in-chief.”
WASHINGTON — (CNN) Speaking in front of hundreds at a rally in South Carolina on Tuesday, Donald Trump read a number he said people could use to reach South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s private cell phone.
Trump and Graham have engaged in an ongoing feud in the past few days as they battle for the Republican presidential nomination.
In Trump’s speech Tuesday, he called Graham an “idiot,” after Graham called him a “jackass.”
Trump gave out the number and urged attendees to call it.
“Give it a shot,” Trump said, urging people to call the state’s senior senator.
When CNN called the number, it went directly to voicemail and the recorded message said it was the phone number for Graham. The mailbox was full .
A text message to Graham using the number was not returned.
