I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:

- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.

- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall.

- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.

- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.

- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.

- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.

- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.

- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.

RIP to a self-made American original.

2/2 about a part being ordered since 12/4. We get a different answer each time we talk to someone. The part was supposed to arrive 12/19 and didn't. Last week it was in transit but couldn't be tracked. This week, the part is on backorder and may arrive 1/19. #warranty

1/2 @whirlpoolusa @WhirlpoolCorp has the absolute WORST customer service I've ever experienced! We bought a new washer and dryer set from them in June of 2025 and the washing machine quit 11/23 (5 months old). It has a bad control panel. We have been getting the run around

@AveryGWilks That is a great statistic!! 👏🏻🙌🏻 @Hinton2Zach

I sat through THREE red lights at the front of the line but couldn’t turn right on GREEN because of people blocking the intersection. I would prefer to avoid the area all together but every damn store is out here!!! It’s way worse than December. 2/2

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

@CityGreenville @GvlPD needs to re-establish their presence on woodruff road in January. For the second Saturday in a row, I just spent 25 minutes trying to get from 85 onto woodruff. People don’t obey the traffic laws and block the intersections!!! 1/2

@Dcoopa13 That looks delicious!

Great program this am. Three standing ovations for former Governor David Beasley at @GvilleChamber @UpstateChamber Annual Legislative Breakfast. @WFPUSA.

@JenniferPatin1 @Frigidaire Wow. I feel your pain. Your story is worse than ours. Your’s should still be under warranty. Our until was out of warranty because it was a floor model. We purchased it during covid and that was really our only choice. What terrible customer service!

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

I NEVER complain on social media about companies or customer service, but sometimes complaints are warranted. And since I can't even post a review on their site, I will do it here. @Frigidaire has abysmal customer service. A 🧵

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

@JenniferPatin1 @Frigidaire I’ve seen a lot of similar posts on social media! Thought they were a reputable company but clearly not. The part that really frustrates me is that you can’t review their products virtually anywhere. If you write a negative review on their site they delete it!

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

@Frigidaire Thank you, Katrina. I messaged with you on Facebook last week and sent all of the requested information.

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

The only way you should consider buying a Frigidaire refrigerator is if you only need it to work for one year. Actually, you can come get mine because it’s sitting on my curb waiting on the garbage to be picked up.

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

They told me that was impossible. I have sent 25 pages of detailed communication with them to my bank to dispute the charges. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

@MandyMatney thought I would be. It seems like everything is annoying. It shouldn’t be complicated, but it is. 4/4

[Elizabeth Edwards Martin @elizzyedwards]

@MandyMatney Martin. I constantly have issues with reservations, etc. When I graduated with my masters in December, I insisted that my diploma have my full name. It did, but they put me with the E’s at graduation and not the M’s. My husband sat on the wrong side of stage based on where he 3/4
