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.
@TheChadWithrow Those of us that hate your fat orange god for inserting himself , are not rooting against the USA . The Walmart suit in your profile pic shows you aren’t one of the ones he’s fighting for by the way 😘😘🤡🤡
@RGIII We aren’t rooting against the US u stupid derelict!!! But the fat orange fuck shouldn’t have inserted himself . This would. be a forever stain on this amazing young man !! There would always be an asterisk that he didn’t deserve .
