Protests broke out in major cities in March, and although demonstrators were arrested, opposition has become more stealthy since then.

You would be doing your country \u2013 and the world \u2013 a great service,\u201d Graham added.<\/p>\n<p>The White House at the time quickly disavowed Graham\u2019s call and said its goal in Russia was not regime change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cThat is not the position of the United States government and certainly not a statement you\u2019d hear come from the mouth of anybody working in this administration,\u201d then-White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said during a press briefing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">When questioned again about Graham\u2019s words, Psaki added, \u201cNo, we are not advocating for killing the leader of a foreign country or a regime change.
