Donald Trump gave out Lindsey Graham's cell phone number during a live televised campaign rally, in the latest twist in the Republican Presidential primary election.
Trump and Graham had been feuding because of insults the real estate mogul lodged against Senator John McCain. Graham, a close friend of McCain's, retaliated by calling Trump a "jackass" on CBS News.
Not content to let the feud die, Trump brought up the South Carolina Senator during a campaign stop in the state Tuesday.
"He doesn't seem like a very bright guy," Trump said of Graham during the event televised on CNN and other national media outlets. "He actually probably seems to me not as bright as Rick Perry. I think Rick Perry probably is smarter than Lindsey Graham."
Taking it up a notch, Trump then read out loud a phone number he claimed belonged to Graham, encouraging those in the crowd to "try it."
"So, I don't know, give it a shot," he said. "Your local politician. He won't fix anything but at least he'll talk to you."
Many people called the number, though most report getting a voicemail message saying Graham is not available.
"When it comes to the Donald, nothing surprises me anymore," Graham told a Politico reporter who dialed the number Trump gave out. "It's just too bad, really."
