Last week, Trump--the ignoramus--sat on a stage with Zelenskyyyy and Secretary of Everything Rubio and encouraged the Ukrainian leader to attack deeper and more violently into nuclear-armed Russia.
A week later, Trump's (inexplicable) closest political ally, closest thing to a friend, and golfing buddy, Neocon warmonger, has mysteriously passed away "shortly after" visiting a drone factory in Ukraine that may have been blown up in a Russian missile strike.
I made a mental note of anyone saying positive things about Lady G today. I will never trust any of you again.
I hope everyone did the same.
Graham was an incredible litmus test. If you liked him AT ALL you are a massive piece of shit.
If you clowned on him
You are my people.
🚨 REST IN PEACE, SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM
71 years old. True patriot. Gone too soon after a sudden illness. His office confirms he passed overnight, cardiac arrest after returning from Ukraine.
President Trump spoke with him just last night. Graham was fired up about the Save America Act and fighting for freedom. Trump called him a “true American patriot” who was always working. He will be greatly missed.
Graham served in the Air Force as a military lawyer, then in the Guard and Reserves. Elected to the Senate in 2003. Ran for President in 2016. Chairman of the Budget Committee. Hawkish on foreign policy, strong on Iran, Russia, and a fierce defender of Ukraine and Israel. Netanyahu said Israel lost a great friend.
Bipartisan tributes pouring in. Tim Scott, Dick Durbin, Chris Coons, George Bush, all remembering his service, wit, and love for America. Even those who disagreed on policy respected the man who stepped up when parents died young and raised his sister.
He worked across the aisle on immigration and judiciary too.
South Carolina and the nation are in shock. Family asking for privacy. Prayers up for them. 🙏
Shocked to learn of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing. He loved our Country and fought hard for the things in which he believed. I pray for his family, friends, and colleagues/staff as they navigate this difficult time. May he Rest in Peace.
Awoke to news this morning of the passing of Senator Graham. We are praying for his family during this devastating time. Though we did not always agree, he was always respectful. Just a few weeks ago I ran into him on the Senate side and he said “Well hello Young Lady” and smiled at my young son and shook my hand to say hello. He was always kind and willing to talk.
It is important to also note, amid massive speculation surrounding his sudden passing, that though in great spirit, Senator Graham was older and his father did pass of a heart attack as well.
Sincere condolences to Lindsey Graham's loved ones. May he rest in peace. But it is infuriating testament to our corrupt politics that only death could remove him from his profitable government perch. Netanyahu described him as "Israel's best friend in the Senate." No non-supplicant South Carolinian ever said the same. Praying McMaster's appointment - and also the eventual party nominees - display proper focus: South Carolina, America, Americans.
Events like the death of Lindsey Graham have the ability to unify and bring together a country in celebration at being rid of a man who made his country and the world a worse place
