Graham said it plainly, the fear is that the precedent will allow ICC to go after US next. While US doesn't recognize the ICC, this will be a geopolitical nightmare for the US. For example, countries that do recognize ICC, which is most of Europe, would be required to arrest US politicians when they visit.
