Lindsey Graham, maverick man o’ integrity is a hypocrite? Say it ain’t so.

Graham will undoubtedly be re-elected in a landslide in South Carolina because of his unstinting support of Donald Trump. And after he secures his next six years, he will attempt to reaffirm his old maverick reputation. (His mavericky mentor, John McCain, did this with his “build the damn wall” re-election campaign in 2016.)
He should never be allowed to do that. he is Trump’s most servile toady in the Senate. He is tied to Trump’s legacy in the history books forever. He, of all people, cannot be allowed to rehabilitate himself.
