When the people of South Carolina elected Lindsey Graham as their senator in 2002, I thought they were on LSD passed out by GOP operatives.
It doesn't say much for the sanity of South Carolinians that they kept voting for him and now he's up for reelection again during the upcoming midterms.
Watching Graham stroll around all alone at Disney World's Magic Kingdom while holding a pink princess bubble wand the other day wasn't exactly a good look. He looked like a pedophile on the prowl.
While Graham was being mocked on social media, he put out a video of himself holding a shotgun and trying to look tough.
The contrasts between the pink bubble wand and the shotgun were stark.
Did you happen to see that South Carolinians?
Listen...Lindsey is known for being dramatic, often contradictory, and making baffling public statements throughout his career. So why reelect him?
Since Trump slithered into office, Graham, the man who told America that Trump was nothing more than a "race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot" has morphed into one of the most fawning Trump sycophants in the MAGAsphere.
In an interview in February 2019, Graham was asked why he had such a dramatic shift of allegiance towards Trump? His answer: "From my point of view, if you know anything about me, it'd be odd not to do this." When asked what "this" meant, he said "try to be relevant."
From that pithy quote we can deduce that "relevant" in Graham's interruption means to kiss the leader's ass regardless of what you think about them.
I wonder if there's something (not good) in the water because South Carolinians have been mindlessly reelecting the POS despite what an embarrassment, he is.
The flippant manner in which Graham speaks about not standing on principals makes it clear how he could go from telling Americans they should "tell Donald Trump to go to hell" to effectively licking Trump's boots on command.
I remember Graham seeking to have legally cast ballots excluded from the vote count in Georgia. He was actively trying to undermine the democratic process. He even got on the phone with the Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and asked him to exclude all mail ballots in counties with higher rates of non-matching signatures.
What's really sad is Graham knows better. After all, he spent much of his political life fighting with John McCain for people in countries who do not have democratic rule. That was then. This Lindsey Graham doesn't bare any resemblance to the one who once defended democracy.
Graham wants Trump's war to continue. He revels in being the tough guy who wants to see more blood and destruction in the Middle East.
I have a question for South Carolinian voters: What has Graham done to make your lives better?
As it Stands, we all make mistakes at one time or another. The midterms will give you a chance to correct one that has gone on for far too long.
