Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) latest campaign ad focuses on how he’s fought President Barack Obama on Benghazi, Iran, and “radical Islam.”

The ad, which Graham’s campaign released Monday, features clips of Graham criticizing the president on his handling of Iran and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

“He stands up for America and our troops, challenging the president … asking the tough questions on Iran, Benghazi, and radical Islam,” the narrator in the new ad said. “In a dangerous world where the only guarantee of peace is strength, Sen. Lindsey Graham stands strong.”

Graham is a regular talking head on TV representing the Republican Party’s dissatisfaction with Obama on foreign affairs. Graham seemed to take it to the next level recently though when he blamed the crisis in Ukraine to the president’s handling of Benghazi. He later defended that accusation.

“The point I’m trying to make is that there’s been too many times in the last six months where the President has told people, ‘if you don’t do what I say, there’ll be consequences,’ and nothing’s happened,” Graham said in an interview with CNN.
