John McCain is Looking Down on His Best Friend, Lindsey Graham, and Asking, “Who in the Hell is This Wimp?”

Lindsey Graham has cemented his legacy. He will forever be remembered as “the biggest wimp in the Senate.”

From June of 2015 until November 8, 2016, Graham attacked Trump and rightfully claimed that he would be a danger to our nation’s future. However, after John McCain lost his battle with cancer in 2018, he gleefully surrendered himself to the orange buffoon.

Since that day in August, Graham has become one of the biggest hypocrites in world history. The Senator from South Carolina renounced his morals, principles, integrity, and self-respect to the worst man in the world.

I was watching television and another Republican legislator, whose name I do not remember said, “if Trump tells us to jump three feet high and scratch our head, we do it.” This is what is wrong with Washington and what is so revolting about Graham. Loyalty to a political party has become priority number one for every Republican politician.

Loyalty to a group of criminals calling themselves a political party overshadows their loyalty to our country. This is not why they were elected. However, this is why our government is broken and beyond repair.

The legislative branch is composed of 100 Senators, and 435 members of the House of Representatives. I believe that less than 20 of these 535 men and women are qualified for their positions. The sad truth is that even a smaller number have the courage and self-respect to do the right thing all of the time, regardless of the repercussions.

A combination of longevity, the result of not placing term limits on all three branches of government, and greed for financial gain and power created this situation and the only solutions are drastic. However, without them, nothing will change inside the Capitol Building.

If you think I exaggerate, remember that a significant number of right-wing politicians who were inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021 had advance knowledge that Trump had planned and organized an insurrection on that day.

Political parties and professional politicians are the infestation which destroyed and corrupted our nation’s government and eliminated reasonable deliberation and compromise.

Graham is part of the problem, and Trump is their demagogue.
