(97,578 posts)Not saying it isn't possible. Just saying I don't think of it as a "go-to" explanation for bad behavior.

(2,295 posts)Graham was a truly vile and nasty person.
Fuck him and this hagiographical bullshit we will all be fed now.
Grim Chieftain
(2,442 posts)He went from fierce critic of Trump to enabler. We can speculate why, but we'll likely never know.
Regardless, his true character came through in his treatment of the officers who stood up to the criminals on January 6. That will be a stain on Lindsey Graham for all eternity.

(4,203 posts)Remember the 2016 GOP presidential primary, Graham actually spoke the truth and called Cheeto a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He told the red repug voters to tell Trump to go to hell & the GOP would be sorry and destroyed if it nominated Trump.
Amazing how he had a change of heart. Even though he had no heart, and disrespected the police who were injured and killed because of dump inciting violence on January 6th.

(2,011 posts)Graham was trash. Don't believe me? Trump sang his praises right after bragging that he was the last POS Graham talked to before vapor locking. World is a better place today.

(23,897 posts)I am glad Graham is dead and I feel no shame saying it. He was a horrible person who sold out his voters and his country to be a stooge for drumpf. He caused suffering for many and I hope his death brings some measure of peace to those hurt by him.
