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.
Remember - @realDonaldTrump chose to push for an illegal poll tax instead of signing a bipartisan bill making housing more affordable for Americans because he knows that he’s going to lose in November, so he has to rig the election. What a loser
@MikeJohnson This ad is telling me how scared you are of being held accountable for allowing a pedophile to continue to run the government past the ground.
@tedcruz Ted you have no room to talk you dumbass. In a normal state you can turn on a heater - but we get a few degrees below freezing and you abandon us and fly to Cancun you hypocrite
@GregAbbott_TX Today’s Supreme Court decision is a reminder that at least 4 members make decisions based on their gift givers because it should have been unanimous. It has been the law and understanding for so long. Your racism lost today, loser.
@4ChangeEnergy charged us almost $30 in late fees because we forgot to pay our bill when we were on vacation. The bill was due on the 8th, we paid it on the 10th. I’ve never heard of an electric company not giving a grace period. We are looking into switching companies now.
@tedcruz You keep trying to tear him down yet you don’t talk about his polices because you know that they terrify you with how wanted they are.
That tells you everything
@tedcruz Oh so you’re completely ignoring the crusades, the KKK who claim to be Christians, the Branch Davidians, all the suicides of all the people who were told by the church they were going to hell?
