MAGA Rages at Lindsey Graham’s Sister over $100 Check: ‘Neither honest nor self-aware’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Lindsey Graham’s sister Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) has already infuriated her late brother’s political base because of a $100 check, according to a new report.

Nordone, the appointed replacement approved by President Donald Trump, donated to state Sen. Katrina Shealy — is backtracking after reports revealed she donated money to a Republican who helped block a near-total abortion ban in South Carolina, the Daily Beast reported Thursday.

The newly sworn-in senator is now in full damage-control mode, taking to social media to explain herself, according to the Beast.

The response from the MAGA right was not overwhelmingly positive.

“You’re good friends with Katrina Shealy, the former South Carolina state senator who is PRO-ABORTION and OPPOSED the Heartbeat bill—AND you even donated to her campaign,” replied Kelly McCarty, a “Covid accountability” influencer.

“Lies,” added X user Teri. “Your BFF is disgraced former state senator Katrina Shealy who was famous for consistently blocking pro-life legislation during her tenure.” (Read more from “MAGA Rages at Lindsey Graham’s Sister over $100 Check: ‘Neither honest nor self-aware’” HERE)

Monday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) insisted U.S. investigators should at least consider the possibility of Russian foul play in the death of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

“One of your colleagues in the Senate, Senator Cornyn, is not ruling out foul play,” host Jesse Watters said. “Lindsey had gotten back from Ukraine that same day. You know the Russians are notorious. Do you think that that’s a possibility?”

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has selected Republican Senator Lindsey Graham’s sister to fill the late Senator’s seat in the United States Senate.

McMaster announced the appointment of Darline Graham Nordone during a Monday afternoon press conference, where he reflected on Graham’s decades of public service.

“Lindsey Graham understood the hopes, dreams, and needs of his state and delivered for his state every time,” McMaster said.

Calling the appointment both a duty and an honor, McMaster added, “Lindsey took care of his sisters in years long departed. It’s my honor to ask his little sister, Darline Graham, to finish his work for him now.”

“She agreed to serve through tears,” he said, adding that he was honored by the sense of “duty” she immediately displayed. (Read more from “South Carolina Governor Names Late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Sister As Interim Replacement” HERE)

‘I like men too’: When Laura Loomer Claimed ‘Lindsey Graham is gay’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Laura Loomer, a right-wing influencer and Donald Trump associate, claimed under oath during a deposition that Lindsey Graham was gay.

“Several of President Trump’s staff have told me in confidence that Lindsey Graham is gay,” a claim she made during her deposition, but later defended on social media, asserting that she wished to avoid committing perjury.

Laura Loomer’s bombshell claims against Lindsey Graham

At that time, Loomer brought a lawsuit against the HBO host Bill Maher, who has a documented history of anti-transgender statements, after he remarked on the Real Time with Bill Maher show during the campaign that the influencer could be “f—ing” Trump. In her court deposition, which her legal representatives made public in a filing, she stated that the joke ruined her chances of joining the White House staff following Trump’s election in November.

However, Maher’s lawyer, Katherine Bolger, brought up several contentious statements made by Loomer, which included implications regarding Graham’s sexual orientation. In September, Loomer posted on the X platform: “When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all know you’re gay, Lindsey… and that’s ok.”

“There’s no reason why Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, needs to hide the fact that he’s a gay man. Come on, Lindsey. I like men too. No need to hide. I want you to relieve yourself of your toxic closeted anger. It’s 2024. Nobody needs to hide that they’re gay anymore.” (Read more from “‘I like men too’: When Laura Loomer Claimed ‘Lindsey Graham is gay’” HERE)

/21 Comments/in , /by

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” President Donald Trump said Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) death was a “big blow” to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.

Host Kristen Welker said, “President Trump, thank you for joining us and my condolences to you.”

Trump said, “Well, thank you. He’s a tough one to lose. He was great. He was unique in every way, actually.”

He continued, “He called and said, ‘We’re all set for the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America Act like crazy. Got back, said he just landed from Ukraine.”

Lindsey Graham Death Shocks Trump World – Conspiracies Fly

/0 Comments/in , /by

Washington is reeling after the sudden death of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. The South Carolina power player, one of Donald Trump’s closest allies in Congress and one of the most influential foreign-policy hawks in the Senate, died after what his office described as a “brief and sudden illness.” He was 71.

Dramatic photos first obtained by TMZ showed Graham being wheeled out of his Washington, D.C., residence on a gurney Saturday night, surrounded by EMS workers trying to save his life. In the images, the senator appeared to be in grave condition and reportedly intubated as paramedics lifted him into an ambulance. The D.C. Fire and EMS Department did not provide further details, citing health-privacy laws.

5 days ago, Senator Lindsey Graham posted about how the IRGC threatened to assassinate him. They threatened to assassinate me and President Trump as well with matching posters of our faces held by IRGC operatives at Khameini’s funeral that called for our heads to roll.

Graham’s sudden death immediately triggered conspiracy theories online — fueled by his hard line toward Tehran, his recent Ukraine trip and his central role in Trump’s foreign-policy circle. Far-right activist Laura Loomer was among the MAGA voices raising questions about the timing, with some speculation online pointing at Russia or its ally Iran. Graham had repeatedly backed tough threats against Iran’s leadership and was one of the loudest hawks in Congress. After his death, some users speculated about possible revenge by Tehran or Moscow. So far, there is no evidence for that: Graham’s office cited a “brief and sudden illness,” while Reuters reported that emergency crews responded to a cardiac-arrest call at his residence.

Trump reacted with unusually emotional words. In a Truth Social post, the president called Graham “one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known.” According to FirstPost, Trump also said he had spoken with Graham by phone the night before his death — and that the senator had seemed fine.

Lindsey Graham Plays With Toys At Disney World As He Pushes For Military Action In Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham was photographed at Walt Disney World on Sunday enjoying a fancy brunch after he repeatedly called for further military intervention against Iran.

Graham, who drew ire from both Republicans and Democrats after he called for the use of American troops to seize Kharg Island, enjoyed the $59 all-you-can-eat meal at Chef Mickey’s, a buffet-style dining establishment at the Contemporary Resort near the Magic Kingdom, according to photos posted by TMZ. Graham was also spotted holding a bubble wand while in the Magic Kingdom.

An eyewitness told TMZ that the hawkish senator, who has never been married and has no children, was holding the bubble wand for a girl who was using the restroom.

Graham compared the potential seizure of Kharg Island to the American capture of Iwo Jima in World War II during a March 22 appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” arguing it would leave Iran “defanged.”

“I trust DOD. We got two Marine Expeditionary Units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima, we can do this. The Marines, my money is always on the Marines,” Graham told host Shannon Bream. “I don’t know if you take the island or you blockade the island, but I know this the day we control that island, this regime, this terrorist regime has been weakened. It will die on a vine.” (Read more from “Lindsey Graham Plays With Toys At Disney World As He Pushes For Military Action In Iran” HERE)

‘I Feel So Much Better’: Lindsey Graham Reportedly Hugged Fani Willis After Georgia Trump Testimony

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new book claims that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina embraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting former President Donald Trump, after he provided testimony in the case, Politico reported on Wednesday.

Willis obtained an indictment against Trump and several other defendants on Aug. 19, on 41 different charges related to an alleged criminal racket to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results as well as the filing of false documents. Graham, who was briefly involved in Trump’s efforts before acknowledging Joe Biden’s victory in the election, testified before the grand jury in the case on Nov. 22, 2022, where he allegedly “turned on a dime and threw Trump under the bus” and attempted to hug Willis after his testimony, according to Politico.

“That was so cathartic…I feel so much better,” said Graham to Willis after his testimony to the grand jury during an encounter in the courthouse where he testified, Politico reported. Graham thanked Willis for the “opportunity to tell his story” and, then, attempted to hug Willis.

“‘She was like “whatever, dude,”’ according to one witness of the strange encounter,” recounted Politico. The extracts were quoted from a chapter in a book by Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidmanin, titled “Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election,” which is scheduled to be published on Tuesday.

Senator: Biden’s Border Crisis Has Me ‘More Worried About a 9/11’ Attack Than Ever Before

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said during an interview over the weekend that the conditions on the U.S. southern border have him more worried about the potential for terrorist attacks similar to 9/11 happening on U.S. soil than at any other point since the attacks happened more than two decades ago.

Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s “Meet The Press” while discussing U.S. Senate negotiations with the White House on a border package.

Graham said that he did not believe a deal would be reached by the end of the year and that he expects talks to continue into the new year.

“The White House got engaged five days ago,” he said. “They sent over a supplemental with border security provisions that did nothing to change policy. We’ve been talking to them since September. Five days ago, they finally sat at the table. … The bottom line here is, we feel like we’re being jammed. We’re not anywhere close to a deal. It’ll go into next year.”

Republican Issues Stark Warning to Iran Against Helping Escalate War in Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned Iran against helping escalate the war in Israel, saying that if the country does, the United States will be “coming for” them.

At least 3,600 people and 29 Americans have died since the conflict erupted last Saturday. Those numbers do not account for the more than 100 Israelis and Americans being held hostage by Hamas, the Iran-backed terrorist group that operates in Gaza that carried out the surprise attack.

“Here’s my message: If Hezbollah, which is a proxy of Iran, launches a massive attack on Israel, I will consider that a threat to the State of Israel, existential in nature,” Graham said during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “I will introduce a resolution in the United States Senate to allow military action by the United States in conjunction with Israel to knock Iran out of the oil business. Iran, if you escalate this war, we’re coming for you.”

Pressed on if that meant he was effectively saying he was prepared for the U.S. to declare war on Iran, Graham replied that he is “poised to use military force to destroy the source of funding for Hamas and Hezbollah.”
