Republican presidential candidate Lindsay Graham has destroyed his phone with force and fire after its number was made public.

The South Carolina Senator posted a clip titled How to destroy your phone with Lindsay Graham on YouTube after his political rival Donald Trump gave out his phone number.
He is seen attacking his phone with a sword, meat cleaver and golf club - as well as putting it in a blender and setting it alight – in the video produced by the conservative website IJReview.

The one-minute clip ends with Senator Graham telling the camera that “if all else fails, you can always give your number to Donald - this is for all the veterans”, before throwing his phone out of shot.

It has been viewed more than 1.3 million times.

The clip was posted after an outburst by Trump, who called the Senator a “stiff” before giving out his phone number to the audience.
"This guy Lindsey Graham, he calls me a jackass," the billionaire said.

"I said to myself, ya know, it's amazing, he doesn't seem like a very bright guy.

"OK, he actually probably doesn't seem to me not as bright, honestly, as Rick Perry. Rick Perry is probably smarter than Lindsey Graham, but what do I know?"
