If you only read one thread about the life and legacy of Lindsey Graham, make it this one, from my friend who knows more about South Carolina politics than any person alive, and served as Senator Graham’s campaign manager for the last two decades.

God only made one @LindseyGrahamSC, and I was honored to work with him for 22 years on his campaign team. Only in America can you go from the back of the pool hall in Central to being on a first-name basis with presidents and prime ministers.

Heartbroken over the loss of my friend, Lindsey Graham. Senator Graham lived the American Dream. From growing up, literally, in the back of a pool and beer joint in Central, SC to becoming one of the most powerful lawmakers in America. He overcame tremendous adversity at a young age when he lost both of his parents and took up the burden for his family. He served his country for decades in the Air Force. He was a patriot, loyal, and funny as hell. He was a giant in my life, and the lives of so many others. I, like millions of others across South Carolina, America, and the world will greatly miss him.

@SpeakerMcCarthy Senator Lindsey Graham was a happy warrior, using humor to charm his audience and make his point as only he could.

Senator Graham was a non-stop fundraising machine, traveling from California to the Carolinas to help Republicans compete on the ballot. In Feb of 2020, he visited @SpeakerMcCarthy in Bakersfield to headline a Lincoln Day Dinner, just a few days before COVID crackdowns started.

Lindsey Graham was old school, carrying a "dumb phone" for years. Nobody worked a room like him. His one-liners kept crowds roaring with laughter. That same charisma made him one of the most effective voices South Carolina ever sent to Washington. Rest in peace, Senator.

@BubbaAtkinson Remember this vividly

On July 21, 2015, Donald Trump gave out Lindsey Graham's cell phone number on live television. At IJReview, we got in touch with Graham's team and asked to make a video of him destroying cell phones as he would have to 'get a new one.' If I recall correctly, this got about 100,000,000 views between all the platforms and news coverage in about 48 hours and changed the trajectories of a lot of careers.

Mine weren't sufficiently troubling or serious for you, right?

The greatest ex we ever had 😢

This is the greatest country on earth. It's not even close. The ideals that built us-- freedom, self-government, the stubborn belief that ordinary people can govern themselves-- are the same ones that will carry us through the next 250. Happy 250 years, America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@PeterMeijer I feel this in my bones. I'm constantly trying to explain why something is hilarious or important. Usually, after I say it out loud, and it's met with a blank stare -- i realize it's typically neither.

There are tremendous upsides to having a wife who is very much not online, but the downside is not being able to share memes that require understanding a joke from two years ago, another from two months ago, and yet another from earlier today all mixed together.

This just isn’t true. It’ll be a battle in steering but Rep. Rouzer is widely seen as the frontrunner for the position.

Here are my notes to make soccer better: 1. Make the field smaller. 2. Cut the time into quarters. Also need timeouts. 3. Mic the players. I wanna hear multilingual shit talk. 4. It needs something like “free throws” that is both critical to the game but also embarrasses elite players.
