All to prop up Trump's lies about January 6th.

Not saying it isn't possible. Just saying I don't think of it as a "go-to" explanation for bad behavior.

Came to the conclusion they are/were all trumpstein customers. Makes sense to me. They all have dirt on each other. Sort of trauma bonded to one another.

Graham was a truly vile and nasty person.

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.

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.

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.

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.
