Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday that he’d be willing to include new revenue in a deal to avoid the automatic defense cuts known as sequestration — but by closing loopholes, not hiking tax rates.

“I’m willing to put revenue on the table, but not by raising tax rates,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“Close loopholes — I know we can find them.”
