Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Friday morning agreed with Donald Trump that the Fox News moderators of the main GOP debate were quite tough on the real estate mogul.

“This was more of an inquisition than it was a debate,” Graham told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” of the questions the moderators asked Trump.

The senator said that the Fox hosts should have asked shorter questions about policy issues rather than “a ten minute question saying you’re the biggest bastard on the planet.” Graham added that Trump is not the biggest bastard in the world, but “he may be in the top ten.”

Trump complained that the moderators asked him “unfair” questions, and criticized Fox’s Megyn Kelly for a question she asked about his comments toward women.
