Donald Trump read aloud Sen. Lindsey Graham’s private cell phone number at a rally in South Carolina on Tuesday.
Trump and Graham have participated in an ongoing feud over the past few days as they battle for the Republican presidential nomination.
In Trump’s speech Tuesday, he called Graham an “idiot.”
“So Lindsey Graham says to me, ‘please please whatever you can do’ and I’m saying to myself what is this guy? A beggar?” Trump told the South Carolina audience.
“He’s like begging me to help him with ‘Fox and Friends.’ So I say ‘OK and I’ll mention your name.’ He said ‘could you mention my name?’ I said ‘yes’ and then he gave me his number,”’ Trump continued.
Trump gave out the number and urged attendees to call it. “Give it a shot,” Trump said, encouraging people to call the state’s senior senator. “I don’t know if it’s an old number, let’s try it.”
When CNN called the number, it went directly to voicemail and the recorded message said it was the phone number for Graham and the mailbox was full.
Following Trump’s rally, Graham’s campaign manager released a statement. “Donald Trump continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander in chief,” Christian Ferry said in the release. “Because of Trump’s bombastic and ridiculous campaign, we aren’t talking about Obama’s horrible deal with Iran or Hillary Clinton’s plans to continue Obama’s failed national security agenda.”
Graham later tweeted that he was getting a new phone. “iPhone or Android?” he asked his followers.
