When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
Trump loves to talk about the problems ruining America: immigrants, mail-in voting, and felons. Well, Trump married an immigrant, is a felon, and votes by mail.
What a picture from @orr_photo of @Reuters — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.
I really do hope this gets your knickers in a twist. After all, it’s hypocrisy laid out directly in front of your eyes. And you’ll still try to deny it. Know why? Because you are in a cult.
🚨 I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6
Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power.
Is THIS is what an insurrection looks like? 👇👇👇
Some personal news: You won't be reading, seeing, or hearing me for a bit. Before last Pats season, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My goal was to do the full season. I did, then re-weighed treatment plans. Recent scans showed additional cancerous areas. Time for surgery... https://t.co/e9GVRAZqQn
