I would encourage anyone interested to view Senator Graham’s recent interview with Bill O’Reilly on the Do It Live podcast. As one of his final interviews, that conversation may serve as a fitting conclusion to the senator’s many years of public service.

That was a very good podcast with O’Reilly and Graham.

The man was authentic, passionate, a fighter. I’ll always remember the Kavanaugh hearing. I’m disgusted with the media, and virtue signaling politicians, who have immediately shifted to the narrative of filling his senate seat. Have some respect and decency. If that’s even morally possible in the Swamp. Sad day.

There was nothing phoney about him. I wish all our politicians were like him. He will be truly missed.

He was a phony sellout. He didn’t even stick up for his friend J. McCain when the Orange stain made light of his being a prisoner of war. He still said nothing when the Orange stain made disparaging remarks after his death.

That’s your public servant. He knew who the grift was, but then discovered golf. Pathetic!

He was a great public servant. Ave atque vale.

I think you made your point the first time. There honestly is no point in repeating it over and over on here.

George Shay's avatar

i’m not trying to reiterate my point I’m asking you who you think he sold out to?

Are you willing to answer the question? If not, why not?

My comment was obviously toward Michael. He had made similar comments several times in the thread.

George Shay's avatar

Well, it may have been obvious to you but not to me. Other things are obvious to me, but as far as I'm concerned, we’re done here unless you reply, which I would not do if I were you.

Eric Sloss's avatar

Ok George. Here is how you read the thread. My first reply was directly under Michael's comment. That means it was directed to him. As you can see here, this comment is directly under your comment. That means it is directed to you. I can't for the life of me understand why you are getting upset at me WHEN YOU MADE THE MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!

Good man and a wonderful Senator. Our country lost one of the few good ones. Condolences to his family and friends.

I agree. Terrible day. Only 71 years old. Just a kid, really. Too young to die. I thought AI was going to make us all live longer?

Michael Hatgis Jr.'s avatar

He was a disgrace that stood for nothing. His entire life was a lie. Listen to him during the Reagan & Clinton years. A total hypocrite.

Senator Graham will be missed. Big shoes for someone to fill. Prayers for his family during this time of loss and for our Country.

Michael Hatgis Jr.'s avatar

He will not be missed. He will go down in history as a sellout.

Senator Graham was a force to reckoned with whether you always agreed with him or not. Really an outstanding public servant. He had the ability to get along with members of both parties even if they did not agree with his policy at the moment. He was definitely not dovish when it came to military intervention. You would never be able to accuse him of pussyfooting around an issue. We need more people like him but I fear there will never be another one quite like him.

Rest in peace, Senator Graham.

Former congressman Trey Gowdy will look after your Senate seat

I can hardly wait to see how someone in the White House makes a funeral and memorial all about himself.

I have a pretty low bar for politicians and political behavior, but I really respected what Sen. Graham said and did during the Kavanaugh hearing. His passion was authentic and needed at that moment.

RIP, Senator Graham. Your voice in the Senate will be missed. Condolences to the family.
