Related: About this forumWe have not come to praise Lindsey Graham but to bury him. Graham deserves to be remembered for this - Dean Obeidallah
Dean Obeidallah: Corporate media is whitewashing the horrible legacy of Lindsey Graham. Graham was responsible for protecting Donald Trump after Jan. 6, packing the GOP Supreme Court that is stripping our rights, enabling the genocide in Gaza and more. Here is what Graham should be remembered for. And Michael Fanone's response as I discuss may have been the best! - 07/12/2026.

But this? Dying from a burst aortic aneurysm?
Such quick painless deaths should be reserved for those more worthy.

historians will stumble onto information detailing what Fatso threatened Graham with on that fateful golf game. Graham was a severe critic before they hit the links. He was a MAGA cheerleader by the time they finished their game.
Gen Z will still be around when this happens. I hope they're paying attention. It might save them from the next fascist who comes along.

Graham was an opportunist. He spoke against Trump when he thought that Hillary would win. Did Trump reveal to Graham on the golf course that there was a plan for Trump to win? An opportunist would then switch candidates.
