Axios reported that after “Trump told Graham he was preparing to launch fresh strikes against Iran after another attack on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz," Graham spoke with someone else.

“A person who spoke with Graham shortly afterward said the senator complained that he was feeling unwell," the report states. "When the person urged him to seek medical attention immediately, Graham said he would do so Sunday morning after his scheduled appearance on NBC's ‘Meet the Press.’”

Axios reported, citing an anonymous source, that Graham said he still had work to do, like "the Russia sanctions," getting "Iran sorted out," and "do Israeli-Saudi normalization."

Graham also joked, "I can't die now."

or a Senator was his downfall. Could still be alive if he would've used common sense. But he thought he was invincible.

Nobody who takes themselves seriously believes a word that shitbag has to say.

His main duty for the past few years has been putting out Trump cover stories for various Mideast and Israel related stories. It's become a joke on the Bulwark podcast when the source is Barak Ravid.
