'''Lindsey Olin Graham''', born July 9, 1955 – July 11, 2026 (aged 71), also known as '''Ladybug''', was the senior [[United States]] [[Senator]] from the state of [[South Carolina]]. He was a member of the [[Republican Party]] and a liberal [[RINO]] on some issues. On December 21, 2015, he withdrew his bid for the [[2016 presidential election|Republican 2016 presidential nomination]]. After his unexpected death from a heart-related issue, his sister Darline Graham won the [[Republican]] nomination for his seat in August 2026, but is struggling in polls as of September 27 to win the seat.

Graham was a [[neocon]] [[warmonger]] and [[Trump-Russia hoax]]er.<ref>https://t.me/llordofwar/535557</ref> Graham famously requested an $800,000 reimbursement for a 3-day stay at the Renaissance Hotel in [[Kyiv]] on an official visit to meet with [[Ukrainian]] [[dictator]] [[Volodymyr Zelensky]].<ref>https://deepnewz.com/ukraine/senators-graham-blumenthal-visit-kyiv-before-ukraine-drone-strike-on-russia-bill-cf3f7a15</ref>

Line 33: Line 33:

Graham was a media-pandering [[liberal]] until election time, or when he hoped to be picked as [[Trump]]'s vice president. It could be a bad sign when Graham praised a [[Republican]] nominee, and conversely a good sign when Graham opposed one. Despite continuing to hold to his [[RINO]] positions, he belatedly became more supportive of [[conservative]] President [[Donald Trump]] when Graham faced reelection against a conservative primary challenger in 2020 and a heavily funded [[Democrat]] in the general election, [[Jaime Harrison]]. Graham was up for reelection in 2026 and [[Republican]]s should have a more [[conservative]] senator representing the people of [[South Carolina]].

Line 42: Line 42:

Since 1995, Graham had continued to serve his country in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and was the only U.S. Senator currently serving in the Guard or Reserves. He was a colonel and was assigned as a Senior Instructor at the Air Force JAG School.

Graham served in Iraq as a reservist on active duty for short periods during April and two weeks in August 2007, where he worked on detainee and rule-of-law issues. That ~~makes~~ him the only Iraq war veteran serving in the United States Senate.

==Political career==

Line 50: Line 50:

During the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for Judge [[Samuel Alito]] for a seat on the [[United States Supreme Court]], Graham sparked controversy. He asked Alito, "Are you really a closet bigot?" Alito answered "I'm not any kind of a bigot, I'm not." and Graham continued his statement by expressing his opinion that Alito definitely was not a bigot. Alito's wife cried and left the hearing briefly.

Despite Graham's support, the bill failed on a key Senate vote on June 28, 2007. Graham's views on immigration have ~~lead~~ criticisms for [[conservative]]s.

Graham is remembered as a fierce [[neocon]] [[warmonger]] and advocate for the [[Banderite]] regime of [[Volodymyr Zelensky]]. [[Social media]] influencer [[Laura Loomer]] testified under oath that [[Trump 2.0]] officials told her Graham was [[gay]]. Fellow Republican [[Sen. John Kennedy]] of [[Louisiana]] wrote in his book, ''How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will'', "If you want to stump Lindsey, just ask him to name a country he wouldn't bomb." Then Kennedy moved on to ~~Grahma~~'s penchant to drink: "Invite him to dinner, and you don't know if he'll sit down for an intelligent conversation or get drunk and vomit in the fish tank."
